When the writing is on the wall

After reading Steve Pavalina’s post on creating a belief board and yesterday’s post on What’s the best that could happen?, I got much more interested in what was possible with having visual reminders of my goals. In the 11 forgotten Laws Bob Proctor talks about how you should write out the way it is, and then write out the exact opposite. So I did as follows:

Version 1: The job search has been challenging. Very few employers are responding to my emails. I’m about to run out of money and might have to move home, etc, etc.

Version 2: The job search has been a dramatic success. Numerous employers have been responding to my emails to setup interviews. Several have already made offers. Money is flowing into my life like never before and I’m thinking about moving to my own apartment by the beach.

Obviously, these are two dramatically different stories. The reason I made version two bigger is that the better story is the one I want you to focus on. Rather than just write it out, I decided to print out in some ridiculously large font and put it on the wall. It’s the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see before I go to sleep. Basically, the writing is on the wall….has an entirely new meaning in my life.

Nice post and idea.

I would even suggest leaving reminders in your car, in your work bag, on your bathroom mirror etc. Everywhere!

Also, I find when I stick things up on the wall etc, I get used to it after a few days, and then stop "seeing" it. To avoid getting accustomed to the signs, move them around every few days, or print them out in different colours etc. Keep it fresh, so it keeps catching your attention!

Will be very interested to see how it goes.

Careful. Don't sound desperate to yourself.

Maybe try something like: Everything is working our perfectly.

Then look around yourself and see how that really has been the case all along.
