The act of thinking about doing something compared with actually doing it is often a matter of how we think and talk to ourselves and others.
​
"I'm thinking about..." or "I'm going to...", "I'm getting ready to...", "I might...", "I'd like to...", or "I hope to..."; we kind of leave ourselves an out. Our intentions are good but we often fall short by not getting started, or by making a half-hearted effort. We are not acting or being what we want to be.

Speak and think as if the action is already underway or completed.
Use the words 'I AM'
Picture it so in your mind. Come from that place of power.

10 Steps to Creating My Perfect Life
When you start to think about your future, about the kind of person you want to grow into, start to brainstorm for yourself. Create a perfect picture of living, loving, and being in the life you want - now. Of course, you have to act on this vision you've created, always thinking and speaking from the power of I AM. Live the 10 Steps, create your perfect life! 10 Steps starts on page 16.​
Create Your Vision Board
Write out your vision in a sentence or two. Cut out colorful pictures, words and phrases from magazines, collect photos you may have, or other special things. Glue or thumbtack them to your vision board. Hang it where you will see it every day. Read it, rehearse it, see yourself living your picture perfect life.
