Seeing and Believing

I was speaking at a gig the other day in Alexandria, Sydney. Joseph was my taxi driver. On the way to the venue, we drove past a Ferrari dealership. Joseph said 'That’s my dream… to own a Ferrari F430.”

Curious, I asked him about his dream. He said  “I always dreamt of owning a Harley Softtail and now I have one”. He then passed me his phone with a photo of him sitting on his Harley-Davidson.

Joseph then leaned forward and pointed to a Ferrari necklace hanging from his rear view mirror. He said “That’s there - all day, every day so I can keep focused on my dream”. He said “It will happen one day - I just work each day toward my Ferrari.” 

Whether it be a photo,  an insignia, a word, a drawing, or a Pinterest board,  having a visual representation of your dream helps your brain focus on what you want and not just what you think you can do.
