Pretty lucky, or More to it?

I recently found a financial plan I made 10 years ago, when I was first married and settling into life as I knew it.  The financial goals I wanted to accomplish by the time I was in my 30's, kind of like a wish list 10 year plan.  The list tody makes me laugh.  Somehow I've managed to accomplish every thing I had down...owning a bigger house, affording a 2 child family, health benefits, a job I love that pays well and money for our family to do what we want.  I had specific financial obligations on my list, things like pool maintenance and a golf membership.  I sure had my dreams!

The thing that kind of blows my mind is that I didn't actually set out to accomplish each thing individually so I could check it off the list, they simply happened.  I truly believe that by simply planting the thoughts all those years ago helped to influence how I responded to events as they occurred in my life.  

I'm  actually excited to try my next experiment.  I think I may spend some time imagining my financial goals 10 years from now, to dream big and see what happens.  I'm not going to keep these goals out I'm the open like my dream board, but rather going to tuck them away to explore years from now.  The interesting thing will to see if my goals stayed the same and came true 10 years from now, if by spending time imagining and dreaming about the future subconsciously leads my decisions and choices in the years to come.

I'm a huge believer that we have the power to change and influence the lives we lead.  Positive thoughts, clear goals and the desire to work hard can help us achieve anything.  What would you like  your life to look like 10 years from now?
