Your Ultimate Vision... šŸ”­

...10 Years into the Future šŸ˜±

Welcome to the OPPO FLOW Storybook.

Each week I send a Mindset Shift to bring alignment and develop stronger opportunity awareness towards your perception of success and happiness.

To get on next weekā€™s FLIGHTā€¦ šŸš€

ā€œShoot for the moon. Even if you miss, youā€™ll land among the stars.ā€

~ Norman Vincent Peale

Wouldnā€™t be nice to know what life will be like 10 years from now? šŸ¤”

While no one can see or predict the future (not that I am aware of šŸ¦øā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¦øā€ā™€ļø), we can still figure out how we want it to look, develop a plan, and ensure consistency for getting there.

It wonā€™t be easy.

Itā€™ll take work.

But youā€™ve got to have an idea of where youā€™re going and what youā€™re working towardsā€¦

Otherwise, thereā€™s risk of being STUCK or experiencing CHAOS or worseā€¦

ā€¦being in the exact same spot youā€™re in right now. šŸ˜¬

Your life should look very different 10 years from nowā€¦

ā€¦or even a year from now, as you continue down your path of growth.

However, itā€™s still important to figure out what it looks like, so you can develop your Lofty Goals and Strong Targets (šŸ‘ˆ Click for FLIGHT #055) in order to remain on the path youā€™re going to set forth for yourself today.

Your Ultimate Vision needs to align with your Massive Transformative Purpose (šŸ‘ˆ Click for FLIGHT #028) as well, in order to provide compelling reasons why you want to get there.

For this weekā€™s FLIGHTā€¦ šŸ›«

I am going to walk you through how to create your ULTIMATE VISION. šŸ”­

Thinking 10 years down the road can be a difficult task.

It sure is a LONG WAYS AWAY!

Butā€¦ itā€™ll be here before you know it.

So letā€™s get the wheels turning šŸ›ž and DIVE IN. šŸ¤æ

First, start with what you DONā€™T want. šŸ™…ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ™…ā€ā™€ļø

What is going on in your life right now, that you wouldnā€™t want 10 years from now?

Perhapsā€¦

  • thereā€™s a relationship dragging you down or not supporting your efforts?

  • you donā€™t love the career choice you made or your current role at work?

  • youā€™re not happy with your current activity levels or health situation?

  • youā€™ve got some debt or arenā€™t earning what you want financially?

  • youā€™ve got some life habits that you know arenā€™t great for you?

It could be anything, so think about the things you absolutely do not want in your life 10 years from now.

Some youā€™ll be able to work on and eliminate right away.

Like bad habits such as smoking/drinking too much, eating unhealthy, or even leaving a job that doesnā€™t bring you fulfillment.

Others will take some time. ā³

You may not want to work long hours, but you may need to for the right career trajectory, or learning a new and challenging skillset to start a new business, or executing on a plan for getting out of debt.

Thereā€™s ZERO reason why you have to be doing the same things that youā€™re doing now, 10 years from now, if thatā€™s not what you want in your life.

You are in CONTROL.

Keep in mind though, there will always be hard work throughout growth.

If your ULTIMATE VISION šŸ”­ is different than what your life looks like today, thereā€™s no other way to do it, without overcoming the difficult things that you may not want to do right now in order to get there.

Embrace the change and all the ā€œfirst timesā€ with hard work to break through to the other side.

Identify those DONā€™T WANTS to stamp it into your brain and build the habits to make sure nothing stands in your way. šŸ’Ŗ

The next step in creating your Ultimate Vision is to think about what you DO want.

Think about what you want in the following categoriesā€¦

  • PERSONAL

    • RELATIONSHIPS - Who are the people or types of people you want to be in your life?

      • IDEASšŸ’”

        • mastermind community for consistent growth

        • longevity in a happy marriage

        • minimal acquaintances and more deep, meaningful connections

    • HEALTH - What do you want the state of your health to be in, physically and mentally?

      • IDEASšŸ’”

        • peak performance athlete

        • consistent activity to remain in shape

        • complete mindfulness with clarity and confidence

    • ADVENTURES - What types of adventures do you want to be taking? Any challenges youā€™d take on?

      • IDEASšŸ’”

        • travelling the world for weeks at a time

        • freedom for beach or mountain getaways

        • going to outer space

  • PROFESSIONAL

    • FINANCIAL - What does your income or net worth look like? Massive sums of money isnā€™t required for happiness, but money is a tool so think about the financial requirements for the life you want and deserve.

      • IDEASšŸ’”

        • net worth of XXX millions (or billions) of dollars

        • earning XX dollars per year in passive income

        • 100% debt free

    • WORK - What do you want to be doing to earn a living?

      • IDEASšŸ’”

        • become a successful entrepreneur

        • C-Suite for a fortune 500 company

        • solopreneur building a large community

    • ACCOLADES - What do you want to have accomplished or be known for to the world?

      • IDEASšŸ’”

        • earned a degree or certificate

        • best-selling author

        • well respected community leader

The above are just ideas, so think of what YOU want that is uniquely for you.

The point of this is to THINK BIG. šŸš€

START. STOP. CONTINUE.

This is a well-known retrospective exercise that you can leverage to look at your life currently and what youā€™ve done in the past.

No matter where you are in lifeā€¦

ā€¦itā€™s important to know that SUCCESS is temporary and itā€™s an on-going voyage to maintain it.

If youā€™re on the level you want to be on, then ongoing consistency and discipline is required to remain content.

Envisioning life far out into the future provides you with an ideal state, but as you strive for thisā€¦

ā€¦remember to acknowledge what youā€™ve accomplished thus far, and enjoy the journey, not sad because you havenā€™t gotten there yet.

The process is the fun part; not the end.

As you think about your ULTIMATE VISION, these are important questions to ask yourself to understand what actions you need to take.

START - What areas of your life do you need to begin thinking about or acting on in order to begin on this path towards your bright future?

STOP - What habits, actions, or relationships donā€™t serve you on this mission and need to be removed from your life to focus on your path ahead?

CONTINUE - What have you done well and aligns with where you want go, that you need to focus on continuing to execute at a high level?

Answering these questions will bring more clarity to give you a roadmap of where to begin. šŸ™Œ

Finding clarity meansā€¦

Knowing exactly who you are and what you stand forā€¦

ā€¦where you want go, with compelling reasons whyā€¦

ā€¦and how youā€™re going to get there.

CLARITY + ACTION = OPPORTUNITY

And opportunity provides a good chance for advancement or progress towards your ULTIMATE VISION. šŸ”­

Remain patient.

HAPPINESS is much easier to achieve when you focus on the little compounding and consistent wins vs. trying to tackle the BIG PICTURE all at once.

SUCCESS wonā€™t happen overnight.

Put in the work, take care of yourself first along the way, and focus on organic growth over time.

You may be surprised with what youā€™re capable of.

This is the MINDSET SHIFT. šŸ¤Æ
