The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)

Step 2: Visualize What You Really Want
Many people don’t feel comfortable visualizing success and are even
scared to succeed. Some people may experience resistance in this area. Some
may even feel guilty that they will leave the other 95% behind when they
become successful.
This famous quote from Marianne Williamson’s bestselling book, A
Return To Love, may resonate with anyone who feels mental or emotional
obstacles when attempting to visualize: “Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our
light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to
be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure
around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make
manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in
everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our
presence automatically liberates others.”
The greatest gift we can give to the people we love is to live to our full
potential. What does that look like for you? What do you really want? Forget
about logic, limits, and being practical. If you could have anything you
wanted, do anything you wanted, and be anything you wanted—what would
you have? What would you do? What would you be?
Visualize your major goals, deepest desires, and most exciting, would-
totally-change-my-life-if-I-achieved-them dreams. See, feel, hear, touch,
taste, and smell every detail of your vision. Involve all of your senses to
maximize the effectiveness of your visualization. The more vivid you make
your vision, the more compelled you’ll be to take the necessary actions to
make it a reality.
Now, fast forward into the future to see yourself achieving your ideal
outcomes and results. You can either look towards the near future—the end of
the day—or further into the future, like I did while writing this book, when I
visualized people reading it, loving it, and recommending it to their friends.
The point is you want to see yourself accomplishing what you set out to
accomplish, and you want to experience how good it will feel to have
followed through and achieved your goals.
