Hi thestral.
What you describe strikes me as a great idea. If you think as though you've already achieved what you set out to do, that would certainly keep you motivated or inspired. Steve's podcast reiterates ideas presented in
The Secret.
For example, some people are studying to nurture certain talents, but find it hard to acknowledge what they believe they are. If you aspire to become an artist and already create, why don't you describe yourself as an artist now? If you strive to invent something useful for a big market, you can describe yourself as an inventor before you obtain fame or your desired patent. If you hope to become a bestselling author and you already write, you can describe yourself as a writer. Each of us can learn to boost our self-confidence in ways that motivate us to devote more time and energy to realizing dreams. Attract what you desire by way of raising awareness of what you really see yourself doing. The more you talk about it, the more likely youa re to be convinced and to convince others that you'll achieve it.
