I’m a strong believer in Creative Visualization. I have a list of goals in a little journal that I read before I begin my work each day. I call it “Visualization and Positive Goals in the Present” because they’re written as though I’ve already accomplished them.
For example:
“I am independently wealthy!”
“I’m living in my dream home!”
“My tennis website is a huge success! I’m well respected for the work I’m doing.”
This a powerful tool for making your dreams come true. It works on your subconscious mind to create the things you want and programs your mind to make it happen.
I discovered a poem that I like to read each day. It’s called “Live Your Dreams Each Day”. There’s no author and I don’t remember where I found it. I keep it in the front of my website binder and read it often. I’d like to share it with you and hope that it inspires you the way it does me.
Be afraid only of standing still. (Chinese proverb)
I call it “Baby Steps”…
I use affirmations and creative visualization every day as part of my daily work routine. I’ll have more to say about that in another article.
hit my town a month or so ago grocery stores increased their sanitation practices to protect the health of its customers. I understand and appreciate their concern and efforts in this regard. However, Trader Joe’s took it to a unique panic level and made its customers stand in line outside the store several feet apart while an employee in the front controlled the number of customers who could enter at one time. We were told it was an effort to keep distance between customers shopping inside. I went along with this procedure a few times till I realized that once inside my items were not available…so I’d stood in line for 15 min or more to find that I’d wasted my time and went away frustrated. Well, one day I was there early and only needed milk so I stood in line for a little while hoping for the best…My common sense and reason took over when I viewed Fry’s across the street and left. I haven’t been back and don’t know if I ever will return. 
I got my milk without fuss at Fry’s that day and although I had a few disappointments there with products not being available I’ve continued to shop there hoping that things would get better. They did! I discovered that they’d put a 2-item limit on everything in the store, and by persevering I discovered great products to replace what I’d been buying before, and new foods that have added nutrition and enjoyment to my diet. Take a look:
International section I found lots of healthy items I want to try.
All of these new experiences were the result of trying something new. I have become more flexible and able to adapt more easily to situations I can’t control.
