PERSONAL (R)EVOLUTION<br />
Block out fifteen minutes, and start writing about your<br />
best self in the future. It could be next year, or five years,<br />
or fifty years from now. The important thing is to just keep<br />
writing about what your best life looks like. Here’s what you<br />
look like. Here’s who you’re surrounded by. How is your<br />
health? How do you spend your weekends? Vacations? What<br />
surprises you? Do you volunteer? What crazy things have<br />
you crossed off your bucket list? What are your finances like?<br />
Visualizing the amazing life you could have is powerful and<br />
exciting. It can lead to a sense of elation.<br />
Practice this daily, until you feel good about it. And then<br />
think about how your Goal plays into this life. Is it a critical<br />
component?<br />
POSITIVITY, POSSIBILITY, AND OPPORTUNITY<br />
Throughout this chapter, we’ve looked at how positivity<br />
creates possibility and opportunity. We’ve explored how<br />
white-knuckling it through tough situations isn’t the best<br />
coping strategy and how, instead, negative scenarios can<br />
be reframed as positive ones (falling up). I’ve also shared 3<br />
specific exercises for reflecting on what’s terrific about your<br />
life, finding awe in the ordinary, and developing a long-term<br />
vision of your best self, which are essential for achieving a<br />
positive mindset and gaining momentum toward your Goal.<br />
