We’ll be selecting one person to receive the coaching session from the answers. You have until Thursday June 26th at 8pm PST to post your answer! so close those eyes for a few moments and dream a little dream of you at your best whatever that means to you and then tell us about it!
We can’t wait to hear what you see for yourself!
I imagine myself confident and without the fear of rejection lurking around my brain. That I can be me and live without my crutches-food and cigarettes. Also dealing with my emotions and being able to detach. Also being able to trust myself and live honestly.It is actually good to write this and know my own goal Thanks Gina
I imagine myself content and confident, not overwhelmed by the demands of others, nor my own vices and fears.
My all weather 50 bay fully automatic driving range is a roaring success filling a niche on the Sunshine Coast.
Owning and running the center has fulfilled two of my joys in life, golf and working with people.
The cafe, meeting room and creche provide value added elements to the complex that attracts both golfers and the general public.
I conduct regular events that have made us a landmark on the Coast.
Apart from the profits the center provides which has made us financially secure, it has exposed me to a wide range of wonderful people that contribute to my dream of having a Life filled with success and excitement.

I imagine myself with that last 15 lbs gone. I am strong and healthy. I approach each day with a positive attitude and not only think it will be a great day but KNOW it too!
I am able to walk through my days with out allowing stress to control how I feel. I am able to automatically think, "If I can't change it I need to accept it, If I can change it WHAT am I going to do about it?"
I envision a congruous flow of better health,
and having the IRS situation Im in paid down,
and me in pursuit of "Following My Bliss" for the rest of my life.
I am smart enough to not be living by "reaction" instead of living by Proaction!
Im sorry!...I goofed....
I meant living by proaction instead of Reaction
"Congruous" with my values and ideas
of a good quality of Life
I imagine myself as being a Great Dad to my daughter and Husband to my beautiful wife. I image a day hen I'm not always looking over my shoulder; when I can leave the pain of the past behind; when I can have abundance of love and peace in my life; a time when I have the opportunity to serve others who are in the same positions and mental spaces I have been in throughout the past 10 years. I would like to learn a second language...perhaps even visit other parts of the world... perhaps every continent...maybe even space... I imaging a warm and bright future for my small family. There are no excuses for not reaching it, providing I take responsibility for that future - one day at a time.
I envision a commited and fulfilling relationship with a special person in my life. I hope that this relatioship would grow into something lasting. I imagine that i could be loved and supported. I hope to express my feelings to as well and be open and transparent about how i feel.
I visulize myself to be happy, joyous and content in my every day life regardless of any situation. I want financial freedom. Have a successful business. I visualize money coming with ease and grace. As I receive that is how I give. Pure joy.![]()

My vision for myself is to be a happy, healthy, holy woman of God. To sing God's praises professionally and to minister God's word to thh entire world and let them know that Christ died for there sins. To be a mother and wife and to exemplifiy his perfect plan for women all over the world.
After a year on disability leave , I vision my neck and back healthy and pain free and my body able to return to all the activities I love doing; hiking, tennis, biking, golfing,gardening, traveling, (and even the ones I don't love so much.)I envision finally, finding a partner/mate to share the second half of my life with and sharing a deep love and spiritual connection.
Hi mariam, I'm Kate from Singapore. I'm praying for God to grant u all the vision and heal you totally. You will live a wonderful and active live hereafter.![]()
I had a dream and it became a visualization for me. I am living in San Diego, a successful Author on all the best selling lists. I get to travel often and attend book signings. I am sitting in a bookstore, signing books when in walks a very nice man that I met at another book signing. We talk and he asks me out. From one visualization I have 3 wishes. My favorite place to live, my successful career and a new relationship. Micci
I visualise myself by next year travelling around, standing in front of a crowd conducting beauty workshops. Successfully embarking on my new career as a beauty trainer and a life coach after 7 years as a full time housewife. Because I'm financally free, I am able to travel to places where people are less fortunate. Using my love of crafting to help them to produce handicaft that is marketable so that they too can be financally free. Nearer to home, I'll help divocees or widows who wants to go back into the workforce but feel disconnected to gain back their confident thru image coaching. What I have today is all God given and I want to use the telant he bless me with to bless the people he wants me to bless.
I visualize myself free from my bugaboos: jealousy, resentment, judgment of others, greed and indecision. I see myself as being at an appropriate weight with my beautiful, flowing dark brown hair and my radiant warm smile. I am singing my favorite songs; "You'll Never Walk Alone", "If I Loved You", and "Over the Rainbow". I have a lot of friends who appreciate me, weaknesses and all.I love myself and all the creatures of the earth unconditionally.
I Carol see myself in the position of first, healing my body needs, making sure all my debts are payed off (extreme debts) and having money to be able to live a good and holsom life and I Carol see myself helping the poor and unfortunate people in this whole world and universe. I Carol am very grateful for what I do have. So very thankful. I want to see myself smiling all the time and enjoying everyday to the fullest. I want to be abundant in every aspect of the goodness in life. Have a Blessed Day, Carol
I visualize myself as being more confident, and moving more towards my goals. I confront excuses, and work at what I am doing to get where I want to be. I lean less on pills sleep, and meditate more. I exercise more, and continue losing weight. I see myself surrounded by joy and positivity and feel excited about every second and challenge, for it is what makes me alive. I see my career changing, and I am more lucrative, and more in control of my finances.
Finally I see myself talking to Coach Steele! It's a big dream, why not make it huge? I could see myself and Coach Steele talking about how Tools to Life changed my life, career, and overall being, living, and the way I think and approach every second of life. To anyone new, never stop this program I love it!!

My vision has much to do with adding value to others.
I get the biggest charge when I can really help others. I always stop to help someone change a flat tire (did it last month), or mow their grass, or freely offer any of my abilities where best needed. I was given such wonderful talents, and I'm to use them to make the world a better place. This I know.
I don't have a teaching degree, but both my parents were teachers who inspired me, so my vision is to build a free training portal that teaches people how to get the best out of the technology of computers and automation in an exciting, fun, interesting (Carl Sagan) way.
I see such an overload of technology, most think that adding more gizmo's, fancier hardware or software is going to improve their lives. Technology is a tool, that can be used for good or bad. Like most things, there is a right and wrong way.
I see people who are in tech bondage, with their pda's, smartphones, laptops, beepers, digital voice recorders; they are always on, stressed out, and have no time for R&R. Time did a big article on the effect of technology on a family. Sadly, they all were personally disconnected.
On the flip, I know people who work an 1/8th the time and get 3 times a much done. They use filters, and adapt their work to only only deal with the 20% important tasks that count. They utilize cost free automation to handle the mundane and routine tasks.
Wether is online fund raising or cyber-theft, technology is a tool for better or worse. People are making bad choices as to the best use. Much like how I use to hit a large buffet line (on my way to 400lbs)
I want to teach people how to free up time, make it available for the things in life that really count.
Of course, I have this totally cool office, great business, and super great vacation mobile RV setup, but those are the icing on the cake.
Thats my vision!!!
-timBER
I want to see my life without any crutches. I see my confidence overwhelm my insecurities making me a better person all around. Doing tools to life has already been such a positive change in my attitude and will continue to be.
Change in my career will be positive and my family relationship is going to flourish. I still struggle with letting my vices consume me but I just need to continue, find a good support group and help myself , in turn letting others around me see me as a pillar not a tripping hazard.
Thank you for this program, it is something I have always needed and I want to continue as deep as I can go.
'Raising my glass of water' "here is to my development of going forward and reaching my personal success!"
My vision for myself is FREEDOM from the issues that have imprisoned me since I was a child (due to living in an abusive "home"). I will be FREE from codependency, FREE from "people pleasing" tendencies, FREE from the need to be validated by the attention/love of a man, FREE from the need to "stuff in" my thoughts and emotions to "keep the peace", FREE from the need to constantly "smooth the waters" for the pathological people who remain in my life (my family of origin), FREE from the guilt I carry because I stayed with my abusive husband for 18 years (the father of my children), thus continuing to subject my children to the abuse), FREE from the guilt that I feel because I had no choice but to divorce my abuser (breaking the covenant that I made with God on my wedding day). I ENVISION MYSELF AS FREE AS I CAN POSSIBLY BE IN THIS WORLD, UNTIL GOD FINALLY CALLS ME HOME....................
Forgiving is our hardest work and I think forgiving ourselves is hardest of all. God bless you in your path. Tululah
My vision:
I am strong, happy and healthy. My weight is were it needs to be. I am surrounded by friends and family who support me. I support others, helping them become who they truly are. My career is full and rich in that it fills my spirit with great joy and love. The music in me nourishes those who listen. I am financially secure and able to give to others freely.
This is my life!
I have been utilizing visualization for the past several years to try and envisiion a new life for myself. Now that I am on the literal edge of change, moving next week, I am trying to see this new world. I see my new house, which I have purchased, I see myslef in it and all the things in place for me, I love it and I love the challenge of the new space to decorate. I see myself walking to work (5 blocks) and going home for lunch, like when I was in elementary school and I had to take a bus. I wanted so badly to be a "walker" like most of my friends and live in their neighborhood. I see myself making new friends and experiencing living in an urban center city and all that has to offer. I see myself seeking a new relationship and staying in better and better shape all the time. When I daydream about these opportunities it helps me overcome ridiculous thoughts and fears that would hold me back or stop me from change. Real change. I dream of having a relationship where a man will truly invest his interest and spirit with me and explore the joy of love. I've not ever known what it is to be loved the way it's supposed to be. As sweet as my husband is, and soon to be ex, he is not interested in helping me realize my dreams, or in changing to re-invest in what we once had. That has been sad, but we will both be free of the stagnant facade and truly live life. I daydream of being bright, active, working hard, playing hard, staying straight, being a non-smoker and keeping my health. I dream of the day my daughters will come see my new home and engage them in my nesting process. I dream that their hearts will heal. And while all this is happening, i remain in gratitude.

Great sample! I use visualization, too, and it seems to always work especially when all of the elements of the law of attraction fit together.
my vision for myself is to be someone who is confident, happy, positive, who is an inspiration for the people around me, be someone who strives to live life to the fullest and encourage others to do the same, help others to live the life they want and inspire them to achieve their dreams and goals, like Coach Steele who is the inspiration behind my journey towards the success i want in my life. i visualize myself as someone who works to the betterment of the world we live.![]()
I have a workbook about how to be your own life coach, it taught me how to dream big. I guess that's what I'll always do. So, here are the bigger dreams I have for myself and here goes:
Visualization for My Body:
Visualization for My Career:
I must first enter the workforce and get a resume' to enhance more on my career. I have never worked anywhere before not even a small job and I'm 21.
Visualization for My Relationships:
Thanks, Cathie for the encouragement! I just hope that you can get your band going, finish your screenplay, and enjoy your life and the people in it!![]()
I imagine myself being content with myself, full of energy and confident that I will achieve anything I want. I imagine myself without physical disability, in great shape, making healthy food choices all the time. I know I can do it!
Boom chakka chakka chakka...
Okay, lots of deep visualizations here, but I'm in a playful mood after a horrid day, so here's my visualization...
I am walking down the street of my little Ontario town in the spring. Sun shines and the wind is blowing little non-serious puffy clouds about. Dudley prances beside me. The whole day seems to move in my rhythm - vaguely rock and roll , with a strong bass beat - like the ads where there is a theme song, and flowers open, umbrellas twist, birds swoop to the beat. An elderly man walks by, perfectly in step. He nods and smiles to me. The lady who owns the art shop rolls up her awning in time to the beat. Her Westies bark, arf, arf, and she flips her hair back, smiling and waving. I walk past my bookstore, noting I need to refill the empty space on the shelf in the front window. But for now, I walk on to the post office. The wind ahead of me stirs up little white accents on the blue water of Big Rideau Lake, and the scent of lilacs insinuates itself into my brain. The wind vane on the top of the post office, a hiker with pole and knapsack, points upward,ever upward. Nancy, the cheerful postmistress, is wreathed in smiles as I walk in the door.
"It's here, It's Here!" she cries, and jumps up to bring me an exciting sized package. I can't wait any more, and rip off the top of the box. There, in row upon row, are the first copies of my second novel. There's an over-the-top picture of a couple clasping each other on the front, but this isn't a romance - it's tongue in cheek and generally foolish. Nancy and I each grab one. "Can I have a copy?" she asks. She's been one of my staunchest supporters, rushing my drafts here and there, watching the mail for me, so I sign one with a big flourish and hand it over.
Dudley and I head up the street, both of us grinning ear to ear - him because he knows the day ahead is filled with chewie bones and a lounge in front of a fireplace, and me, because I know what to put in that empty space on my bookshelves. I open the door to the shop, smiling at the tinkly bell sound and the cheeriness of the shop. As the door closes behind us, you can see the name of the store:
"Outside of a dog" bookstore....
(Based on the quote from Groucho Marx)
My vision is to be full of life again!
To sing in a band.
To finish my screenplay.
To enjoy life and have fun with friends and family.
To be thin, active and full of life!!!
Once I close my eyes, I can see clearly the life I am heading towards. It starts with my past and the person I was. From there I start to understand that My Attitude is my Decision and with the right Attitude I can climb out of the "Rutt" I'm in. As my Attitude towards my self becomes stronger towards taking care of my Health, Relationships and Career. I invision myself as a health person, to do this I need to lose weight, Goal #1 next I enjoy company with others, Goal #2 Companionship then to control my Attitude with people at work, who appear have nothing better to do than "Tick" push buttons, Goal #3 Attitude Control. Then my visualization jumps ahead to today, at present I have lose 37lb, walk 3km a day and go to the gym 3 times a week. Goal #1 is in progress. I have started dating and at present have a valued relationship with a wonderful lady, Goal #2 is under control. Finally the hardest one, I avoid discussion with troublemakers as much as possible and continue to pay attentions to my Great Inner Voice and have avoided many confrontations.
The future holds a life filled with happiness, love and horizons I can only dream about. I wish everybody who needs that "push" in the right direction the best. This is how I end all my e-mails to my friends.
As Always, have a GREAT Day, I am. Take Care your Priceless & Precious.
Cheers
Rick

Within that architecture of my mind, I have firmly built a vision of myself. The tinker toys of my mind are a great fitness outfit such as Columbia pants and matching blouse, sandles and immaculate grooming. My hair is sport short undyed and natural looking nails. I feel the intensity of my runner's training as i enter the newly created position on my job. The clairvoyant high from exercise has spewed over into a love affair with my job. It is that exhilarating experience of succombing to the talent that lies within my brain, my limbs, my emotions as an artist puts oils on canvas. I can now create real factions in my life. The macrobiotic diet has transformed my American bred soft body along with it's unwilling personality to a serene, balanced nirvana within my soul. I focus totally on others now for i am quite content and gifted within my self.
"Lord, please keep us all SAFE, HEALTHY, HAPPY AND SECURE."
St. Jude, thank you for answered prayers!
I'd like to find my 'center'......my purpose...be confident in my beliefs and convictions, find clarity and see my path before me.
Hold my hand and walk with me, be a listener and a guide and let what is in my heart shine through.

Well how do I see myself in the future or vision of myself i guess with a career that i love i dont have to earn big money but I have a vision of contentment and with regars to my personal life I see myself with a family of my own.
I’ve seen these scenes at least a 1000 times. These brief snippets of happiness, that have yet to manifest in my life. It’s sunny outside. The air is crisp and cool. Not so cold that you need a jacket, a perfect 70 degree day. We’re swinging on the swings and laughing. The higher in the air we get, the harder we laugh. I look around and observe all of my children and smile. It is a dream and a blessing to be able to enjoy them and have them get pleasure from spending time with me. This is my dream come true! I thank God for my good fortune!
Next scene, I’m standing on a beach. A small child places his hand on my stomach. The waves threaten to crash into us as we stand there being filmed. Time is frozen. I take in the breathtakingly beautiful skyline. Hues of purple, orange and red splash across the sky as the sun begins to set. The brilliant colors in the sky above provide the ideal backdrop for the perfect day. The child in front of me is my son. The man behind the camera is my husband. I take in every second of this special moment, because I am so grateful to have love and happiness in my life.
It is my dream to be a wife and mother. For the first time in a long time, I do believe it’s possible! I don’t have to close my eyes and visualize these things happening. I can see them right here and right now.
I still wake up everyday with a positive outlook and excitement. In the life I visualize; I work from my home that is cozy and warm and overlooks the ocean or at least a body of water. I am doing what I love which is working with, coaching and motivating people. I am a successful published author of multiple books and screenplays and a motivational speaker. I have enough time and money so that most days I am able to volunteer at a rest home or children’s hospital or someplace where I can be of service and give back.
I am married to an incredible man that is kind, loving, and supportive and spoils me. He is healthy in mind, body & spirit. He is spiritually aware. We have an interdependent relationship based on trust, love and friendship. It’s pretty incredible! We have common interests and enjoy traveling. We also like to do things separately with our friends. We love to entertain and have friends and family over. Oh, and he has a great sense of humor and we love to laugh!
I still go to bed every night in a place of gratitude and thankfulness. Making sure I am appreciative of who I am, who is in my life and all that I have.
I visualize:
Being healthy
Financially stable
At Peace with myself
Living in the mountains with my finance
Owning an animal resuce
God walking beside me
I see myself on the mainstage of a prominent jazz festival. Behind me are a handful of fantastic musicians - the best anywhere. They are totally stoked on the music we are making together, and completely supportive of me, the singer. In front of me is a large and appreciative audience, who are uplifted and entertained by the musical adventure we are taking together. The feeling of love and acceptance is palpable and with every note it grows stronger, building to a potent atmosphere that seeps inside the very cells of the listeners, healing them. On stage, my body is fit and graceful and slim, a superb instrument for the divine spirit singing through me. My voice is strong and open and clear with every note in perfect intonation, and every phrase striking a deep chord within. Light and love dance on the waves of sound... and this moment lingers long, both in the hearts of those who have heard.. and for me... I repeat it again and again. When I step on the stage, I know this magic happens... I only have to be fully present and accept the power of music to transform, be an instrument for that process. With this knowledge comes personal recognition, financial prosperity, increased health and inspiration... my songs gain momentum. Everyone wants to sing them, and I bask in well-deserved success... moving forward to the next adventure.
I invision myself going to bed after a blessed day and looking forward to tomorrow. I am content with my attitudes, relationships, carreer and contributions. I am confident that I have been a blessing to the life of others and have done no harm.
First of all, let me say I LOVE VISIONS. I am currently fighting my way to level one, EVE. Almost there. I'll know when I'm making 20/hr+ at my dream job, when I'm done school in Jan 09. I know I'm there when I weigh 145, in about 4 more pounds off. I'll know when my grade point average is 4.0, in about .3 more points.
My ultimate vision is to find a way to be apart of or create an organization called "LEAD THE MASSES TO SAVE THE MASSES" not charity based, but thought based. Great masses of people put their energy, thoughts and ideas into real world saving, people feeding techniques. It will grab the medias attention, the stars involved, everybody.....and no money involved...only love, baby! Technically all you need is, right? Pcout e

I visualize as much as I could, some days less then others, to achieve my goals.
I want to be successfull in my two network marketing business:
-Drink Act (www.contact.drinkactweb.com) because I want people to drink an energy drink that is 100 % healthy as oppose to what it is out there
- Talk Out (www.talk-out.com) because I know the founder of the company and the vision and mission of the founders and co-founders are exactly what my last goal is.
I want to be a great coach for my teams and use all my leadership skills to be a better inspiration for them as TTL was for me.
With financial freedom, I want to help my parents have a better retirement and bring travel the world with my mother because my father has done it and make us live a sunset in Africa during a nice safari and experience India
I want to start a family and have children and build my dream house and very green with horses around.
I want to start my foundation and make the world a better place. Bringing the corporate world to make a difference. my dream name would be THC (the human corporation)
My vision is to be the best role model I can for my girls, but this vision always becomes multifaceted and sometimes complicated.
1) I want to be a great mom. I have three girls ages 5, 3, and 2 years...and one more girl on the way. I want to teach them what beauty and confidence is about, I want to show them how important values are and for them to value and respect themselves and others, I want to lead by example of a healthy lifestyle...body, mind and spirit.
2) I want to be a strong wife. I want to be an encouragement for my husband. I want to be the homemaker he deserves (and this is not exactly my idea of a "perfect" homemaker, but I am working on that)
3) I want to be a strong woman. I want to find me. I want to have confidence and an identity that I can be proud of...mentally, physically and spiritually. ((This kind of meshes with #1))
4) Career wise I want to refind myself in the health profession. My dream would be to become a personal trainer and couple that with my degree as a registared dietitian and have a career in which I can help others...and help myself. This would be an ideal job in which I will still be able to make my family a priority but still have my identity.
Bottomline, I am going to be a strong mother, wife, and woman, for my girls, my husband and myself. To do this I am going to establish myself mentally, physically, and spiritually...and lead by example in my thoughts words and actions.
Even though I know that this is too late for an entry into the little contest... I really wanted to share. I've come to realize that what I really want from life is to design and manage a unique recovery center based on culture and tradition. I want this to be as much of a self-sufficient place as is possible... going back to basics so to speak. So, if anyone out there is an architect and wants to draft a layout plan/cost for building, etc.... I have a sketch of the place (in my head) already!!!!!
Suena el despertador abro los ojos y lo primero que veo es el bello rostro de la mujer que amo y de la mujer que siempre soñé, la beso y le digo "Te amo mi vida", y ella me responde que también me ama, nos levantamos de la cama con energía y decimos "Estoy teniendo un gran día" vamos juntos al baño, donde nos lavamos la cara nos cepillamos los dientes, miramos al espejo sonreímos y decimos "Hoy es el mejor día de mi vida". Nos quitamos la ropa y nos bañamos juntos, nos tomamos el tiempo de enjabonarnos el uno al otro, aprovechando para acariciar cada centímetro de nuestro cuerpo, mientras hablamos de nuestros planes del día, salimos de la ducha y nos vestimos, bajamos al jardín en donde están nuestras mascotas y el desayuno servido, tomamos juntos el desayuno mientras seguimos hablando, después del desayuno, llega el momento de tomar las acciones para lograr nuestros resultados, nos despedimos con un beso apasionado y un "Te amo".
Me dirijo a mi oficina en mi casa, donde en mi escritorio tengo una computadora de varios monitores, soy un operador del forex exitoso manejo cuentas por más de 10 millones de dólares, y soy parte importante de la proliferación de esta profesión en Venezuela y America Latina.
A las 11 concluyo mi sesión del forex, me dirijo al garage me monto en la CBR600 y me voy al gimnasio, donde de nuevo me consigo con mi esposa y la saludo como si no la hubiese visto en años, hacemos nuestra rutina de ejercicios, luego tomamos un baño y nos vestimos bien, para estar siempre impecables el uno para el otro, almorzamos juntos a veces en el club, a veces en la casa, a veces con nuestros amistades, a veces solos. Hablamos de nosotros, del mundo de nuestras vidas, de nuestra próxima aventura, de nuestro próximo viaje. Después del almuerzo nos despedimos y seguimos tomando las acciones para lograr nuestros resultados, uso la tarde para visitar mis negocios, y ponerme al tanto de como están funcionando.
Para finalizar el día compartimos con nuestras amistades, juntos o cada quien por su cuenta, hablamos de como mejorar nuestra relación, de nuestros planes como pareja, de cuando vamos a tener nuestros hijos, de nuestra próxima aventura, de nuestro próximo viaje, trabajamos por la comunidad, o por nuestro hogar, salimos a bailar, vamos al cine o vemos una película en casa, tenemos una cena romántica y/o hacemos el amor.
Amazing answers everyone. We have picked one person and will actually get to a few more over the next couple of weeks. Keep posting and sharing, this is great stuff!

I have only just begun this wonderful program and I already see a big difference in my life. This is day 5 for me and I am very excited.
I can see myself becoming more confident daily. I have set some goals in my life and I can see myself fulfilling them.
I am a recognized photographer that wants very badly to regain some financial freedom again. And it is my true belief that this will now happen with the support of a coach that is dedicated to helping people like me in a
stressful environment like mine.
I am the caretaker for my 87 year old father that is a lot of stress. I am dealing with it better as I go on the path of tools to life. It is a constant thing taking him back and forth to doctors appointments and all the other chores that life deals on a daily basis. As cleaning his home. Washing his cloths. Keeping up with his medications. And the list goes on for a while.
It is hard because he makes it more difficult for me being his son. He has never come to realize that his hard school of knocks can't be forced on me or others. And I have just begun to be able to cope with his harsh demeaning attitude. When someone is telling you daily that you are no good you are nothing. After a while it begins to put you in a deep depression. I have been dealing with it for the past 4 years and some days I cry a lot.
I am trying harder than ever to tell myself that I am not the things he says but it is not easy to dismiss this on on a daily basis.
So I hope there is a place for me with the coach to ge to the bottom of my depression.
I need the help. To be able to cope with my life and his.

It is so crazy and probably as I think and think of my vision in the future, I become more and more scared to see this happening in my life. I was so scared this past Friday as I saw myself performing the job I always wanted and meeting the men I always wanted to meet to work with and them being nice and helpful to me. Them being jocular and fun to work with. I was nervous but probably it was the temerity that I would be berated once again, but I am happy to know that there are really nice people out there and that they are willing to help out not like everyone else that lives a life without thinking about others. Part of my vision came true last Friday, and I was trembling with fear because I never thought it would happen. It was blatantly amazing.
The remaining vision is now to come. I see myself definitely attending school in the Spring Semester, and finishing up in less than two years for I am very strong and determined. I will complete a PhD and have those men help me out with the Kalman Filtering. I will get married with the guy I am speaking and waiting to see in a couple of months. The guy I have been talking to for about a year and who came a long way just to see me. The guy that I have liked since I met, but I hated because of my insecurity and because I was not mature enough. I see myself marrying him and having three boys and one girl. I see myself marrying on the beach, like I have always wanted.
I see myself teaching in the school I always wanted to teach and conduct research in the summers like I have always wanted. I see myself buying that Condo on the beach, and see every afternoon the sunsets and every morning the sunrises.
I see myself living there and enjoying the summers in company of a nice husband and my children. I see myself there, living the life I have always wanted away from this hipocrit people that do not know how to give advice in times of cholera.
I see myself working there in that place I went to interview this past Friday and I see myself getting that pick up truck before the end of this year. I see myself attending the degree fair at the school I want to attend and I see myself moving to that new place and being surrounded by great people and the best of friends. I see myself achieving ALL of goals the goals I have always wanted to acomplish, and the ones that have been there for me.
I see myself away from all those negative friends and from all those peple that drain my energy. I see myself full of energy and willing to share it with everyone and everybody around me.
I see myself seeing the guy I like before the end of this year. I see myself having a great time with him, dancing and skydiving. I see myself giving him a chance because I like him. I just like him very much.
