10) Your plan is to just wait for your ship to come in. You’re sure that – any day now – you’ll win the biggest lottery of all lotteries AND be named the sole heir of an unknown distant relative, who turns out to be the richest person in the history of the world.
9) You don’t think you deserve more than you already have. You happily accept your lot in life.
8) You are the first purely human being to achieve perfection. You can’t think of a single area of your life where there is any room for improvement.

As we look forward to another weekend, we have a question for you. Actually, a series of them. But the first question is…
Are you rich?
We’ll come back to that one. Before you answer, ask yourself:
Assuming you can see, what is your sight worth?
Take a minute and think about all the things you see in a day.
Nature in all its beauty.
A work of art. A photo.
The joy you see reflected on the face of a close friend or family member.
If you can hear, what value do you place on that ability?
Music.
Birds.
The voice of a loved one.
Even silence.
What about your sense of smell? Is it worth anything?
Flowers as you pass by them.
Food as it cooks.
You can often even smell danger, which triggers your survival instinct.
How about your taste?
You know what sweet means. And sour.
Spicy has meaning for you.
You know when something has no taste. Or tastes bad.
What would you trade for your experiences?
Think about how much you’ve grown over time.
For just a few seconds, think about a low time and how much you learned.
Remind yourself of your highest highs.
How much would you take to give up the people in your life?
If you’re married, your spouse. If you’re attached, your significant other.
What about your children, if you have them?
How about your parents?
Even if they have passed, what are the memories of them worth?
What would you exchange for all of this?
Are they worth $10,000? $100,000? $1,000,000? Much, much more?

We almost didn’t include this one. The past is the past. Who cares, right?
But it is important to think about your past REALITY.
Our experiences are clouded. They’re clouded by our perceptions. They’re clouded by our emotions at the time. They are clouded by a number of things.
Make sure you’re seeing things as they truly were. Only then will you extract the right lessons.
Once you’ve done that, it’s time to move past the past.
In an ideal world, we could talk about the next two simultaneously. Since we can’t, we’ll keep it chronological.
Your current reality
It begins with an honest assessment of where you’re at. Are you happy now?
You can be.
You just have to know where you want to go. Then do all you can do today to move a little bit closer to it.
Sounds so simple, doesn’t it? And it is.
But life gets in the way. Obligations. Things-to-do. The unexpected.
Next thing you know, you haven’t taken a single step to the life of your dreams.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Form a realistic opinion of where you’re at right now. What are you happy about? What don’t you like about your current reality?
Your future reality
We didn’t come up with this term. But we sure do like it. We like the certainty of it.
It’s not a wish. It’s not just a hope. It’s more than dream. It is what will be. And you will make it happen.
What does your future look like? Visualize it. Get a clear picture in your mind.
But don’t stop there. Use all your senses to experience it right now. Live it as if it were real.
Because it will be. It’s only a matter of time!
As you think about your future, be careful. You may make one of two mistakes:
Projecting the present into the future
This will keep you from reaching your full potential.
Escaping into the future
You may project the unattainable. You have to believe it can be done if you stretch yourself quite a bit. That’s a good vision.
Now we’re ready for the fourth reality – and we may have you stumped. We’ve talked about the past, present, and future. What’s left?
Only the most important reality of all…
Your NEXT reality
What’s the next thing you need to do to move from your current reality to your future reality? That’s your next reality.
You’re a BIGG goal-getter. So you’ll focus all your time, energy, effort, and attention toward achieving your next reality.
