Ideal scenes are better than New Year’s resolutions because they act as self-fulfilling prophecies when written correctly. <\/p>\n
An ideal scene is a carefully written description of your future activity and it must be written as though it is already happening. It is not a wish list. It is a description of events that you are willing to make happen.<\/em><\/p>\n When written correctly, they may cause changes in your life in a matter of days. I have found that the speed with which an ideal scene manifests itself depends to a great extent on how many others you have considered in describing your ideal scene.<\/p>\n Very Important Notes:<\/p>\n 1. Achievement of your ideal scene depends on the intentions of those involved. If your ideal scene promotes the survival of a group or an organization, you are much more likely to get agreement in making it happen. <\/p>\n 2. These ideal scenes align intentions, yours and others, and actually create a future. Start writing about those things you are certain you can make happen. For example:<\/p>\n If you are desperate to find a new job, you write, "I network constantly until I find a new job."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Note that the activity is one that you can make happen. It does not depend on luck or on secret knowledge.<\/p>\n If you don’t have clue about networking, you download<\/a> my book and read it. Then, you would write your ideal scene this way: <\/p>\n "I figure out how to network effectively by reading Danger Quicksand – Have A Nice Day<\/a> and I network until I find the right job for me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I have written more about this before. See my earlier post<\/a> for complete details.<\/p>\n Some random items from my personal ideal scene may give you some ideas of your own. As you can see, some of these activities require resources and information I do not have yet, so the description includes acquiring the resources. <\/p>\n I figure out how to build a series of interlinked websites that attract visitors and produce significant advertising income.<\/p>\n Our use of credit cards is limited to a portable substitute for cash on a monthly basis. All cards are paid off every month.<\/p>\n We work out individual exercise and diet programs to keep us fit and healthy.<\/p>\n I work out a way to publish more books in 2007 and make them creative and financial successes.<\/p>\n We find a way to construct a carport, or carports, to protect all of our vehicles from winter weather.<\/p>\n I find a way to obtain a lawn tractor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ideal scenes are better than New Year’s resolutions because they act as self-fulfilling prophecies when written correctly.
