Because time is elusive, people often visualize time as if it were space. Picture your life as a line or a path. Where is your past? Where is your future? Some typical configurations would be your past behind you and your future in front of you, or your past to your left and your future to your right.

When you have determined where your past and future are in relationship to your present self, imagine taking the picture of your goal accomplished in your hand and float way up over your time line. Breath life into the picture and go out to the place in the future where your goal will be realized. Insert the picture into your time line.

Now notice how all the events leading up to the completion of the goal reevaluate themselves. Come back to the present and commit to the realization of your goal.

You';ve got the goal. It's time for action. Make a list of steps necessary to achieve it. What is the first step and the second step and so forth? Once you've turned the goal into tasks, begin by taking action. Each action will either further your progress toward the goal or bring you valuable feed back so you can change your course of action.

Keep stating the goal to yourself as you languaged it, see the goal accomplished, and let yourself feel the joy of it already achieved. And keep taking action. You know what you want, you know why you want it, the hows will manifest themselves as you pursue your goal with faith, courage, and diligent action.

What if you could be the successful trader you have chosen to be?
