Visualise your destiny

March 31, 2026

Do you dislike school? Hate that teacher who always catches you out and knows when you have not done your homework? Sick and tired of parents who don’t give you enough space, not to mention nagging from morning till noon. Can’t wait to finish school!


If this sounds like you, then here is your solution to deal with all of this. Visualise. Yes, close your eyes, take a deep breath and allow your brain to drift to that day when you walk out of school for the last time. Now visualise your room in the dorm at university. Wait! Don’t blow a gasket. Work with me here.

Okay, imagine walking around on campus with all those sexy “possible” dates passing you by. Now see that evening when you get your degree. Don’t you look smart! What comes next? Visualise walking into the glamorous office where you are going to work. And don’t forget to imagine the huge salary you will get at the end of the month. Here comes the best part. Visualise buying your dream car, getting an apartment where you can do whatever you like and that first big party with your friends.


Right, here is the deal. Whenever things get too much for you, take a moment to think of how things can be one day. Yes, I know it does not change the “here and now”, but what you experience now will not last forever. Unless you mess up. What do I mean. Well, how do you think you can get a good life like this if you allow that friend of yours, called “Lazy” to visit too often? I mean, if you don’t get good grades and make the best of each opportunity to improve yourself now, how on earth do you expect to ever come close to making such a dream life come true?


So, if life gets crazy, deal with it while you visualise how your life can be one of these days. Hang on to that and you will have the best motivation to get through whatever life throws at you right now.
