Imagine how silly it is to draw or write your future. Yet here I am today I have my house with a pool and 6 figure income. Turned fear into curiosity, wonder. Took a step each day even if just to look at my goals. The more focus you put the more energy flows. The impossible becomes possible. Well stop reading this now and pick up a pen!

[@doanadikara526]

Thank you Patti. I also watched your presentation in 2011. Then i make my own dream with your method. I put the drawing on my room table, near the door. I always see it every day. After 3 years, i get my dream.

[@artisticchallenge2038]

[@akiinefaexperiencinglife]

Congrats. How's it going?

[@clarkparker4860]

@@akiinefaexperiencinglife It got a standing ovation and got selected by a couple of filmfestivals. I'm doing Patti's vision boards now every 100 days, to reevaluate my goals. It's really a great tool to stay focused and active your unconscious mind to your benefit. Ps: I just want to point out, that she is not paying me to write this 😅

[@hfortenberry]

Patti, it seems to me that what you are now doing is way better than you becoming an actress! It must be so rewarding and inspiring to help so many people! Thank you! I'm excited to do my own drawing!

Thank you for this talk. I have been using my imagination to envision things that can happen because my mind operates on ideas and different concepts. Some people are good at generating ideas, others are better at actions.

[@htetarkarwin1733]

Love this video and the presenter, Patti! I like the presentation. at the same time, I am thinking almost all people do not like their current lives (may be especially me!). And almost all do put their hopes in front of their lives. I have this thinking just coming out of my mind today, right after watching this great presentation, that is why don't people just learn to love their current status/life, and wake up every day with full motivation to love their day and life without having a hope? Why do people need hope? I think that hope makes people happy / content (for those who achieve their hope), most of the rest, do not achieve their hopes and their lives died. So, if possible I wished I do not have hope and but just want to learn how to live life happy and content every day. Best, arkar

[@andreanottellin2129]

Your dream is to be Happy and Contented with your current life?! Certainly,we can enrich our current life situations! I wish you All the Best.Namasté.X💝X.

I drew my dream back in May 2017, they keep saying you can't, You can't, so I said I gonna do, withing a year, something impossible "My dream". My dream was to learn all latin music science, specially Salsa, but something amazing happened, I learnt other things that were not part of my dream lol. My goal was to prove the people saying I can't, that I actually can. If I can't is not because I lack the talent, is because they are preventing me lol, this most be a life lesson for them since they will live their whole lives on earth and will not be able to do what im able to do in 10 months.

I think, certain habits lowered my intelligence. Commutes, poor diet, age..i use to see things, visualize..I guess the toll of work and the decay in mind resulted in my loss of artistic vision. It hurts, seeing old things I’ve written/created..no longer having that ability..is a pain.

Unfortunately, if the universe learns that you're a creative genius, you and your electronic devices, your home, your life will never be alone or have a modicum of privacy. Did you know that Tom Hanks has a collection of MANUAL typewriters? And probably an excellent security system.

[@anthonygachie4713]

This is just superb, been searching for "how to define genius" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Ronny Geniusify Epiphany - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ?
