This stopped me in my tracks. It’s a reminder that clarity doesn’t always come from strategy — sometimes it comes from a quiet question written on a napkin. Vision isn’t built in spreadsheets; it starts in moments like this, when you finally decide what matters most.
Dear Chris: You made my day! I'm going to use your quote on LinkdeIn b/c you said it so elegantly and beautifully: "Vision isn't build in spreadsheets! It's build in the moments!" Thank you so much for reading and for trying it out! I can't wait to hear about your experiences! Cheering you on, M!
I did this after reading your piece. Wow. It brought such clarity to my thought process and it happened about two days later as well. I needed that, thank you!
Dear Erin: I'm so happy to hear that you DID IT! Congrats for taking action! and thank you so much for sharing your experience of clarity in your though process! Can't wait to hear more about your successes! Cheering you on, M!
I did this exercise the other day. I loved it! But now I’m wondering what next? Am I supposed to read that every day? Visualize the scene daily? Write another day? Or totally dismiss it. What’s the step that makes this more real and active after the writing is done? Thank you!
Dear Leah: congratulations on doing the action! Well don! next steps: put it away for few days, and then come back to what you wrote - re-read and notice small/tiny things that are actually happening for you and in your life already based on what you wrote. Here is an example: Future Script example: (start) Saturday, December 31st 2026: i wake up and the first thing that surfaces in my consciousness is the title of the article that i was struggling to write for the past few days, i am filled with joy, that i got this level of clarity and cant wait to get out of bed and start writing. (end)What I'm noticing and writing down on the paper as data points - all the mornings that i wake up, filled with joy and energy and can't wait to get out of bed (as opposed to previous mornings), I hope that helps...cheering you on! M
Thank you for writing this, I stumbled on your essay today. Yesterday I did a similar thing except 18 months down the line called "the essay I want to write in 18 months". Reading yours made me feel a little less crazy 🙏
(I intend to publish mine in 18 months and see how close I am).
Dear Ash: I'm so happy that it resonated with you! I love how you leverage the idea towards writing...this is such a great start towards the book, essay that we want to write - step 0 - writing about what it feels like once we are done!
Thank you for sharing your story. I did a similar exercise last year and left my 20 year career to coach and write and I've never looked back. The shift in identity is what people struggle with the most. More people need to know that it's possible and they're not alone.
Dear Reina: Congratulations on your career shift! I'm so glad to hear that! And yes, I wholeheartedly agree with you - we need to know what's possible and that we are not alone! Welcome to the community!
Dear Genelle: I'm so happy that it resonated with you! and I can't wait to read/hear how doing the exercise will resonate with you and about your successes. Cheering you on, M!
What a difference a little clarity and time can play. Your essay was honest and hopeful. Thank you for sharing such a personal story. I’m looking forward to giving it a go!
Dear D.K Rose: I'm so happy that it resonated with you! and even more excited that you will give it a try. I can't wait to read your experience/wins. Cheering you on, M!
I’ve been teaching this writing technique to women at a shelter in Hawaii. Some of them have actually enrolled in college, gotten jobs and transformed their whole lives from these small practices.
I also have them pair up and talk to their partner like it’s 4 years later and everything they wrote down has come true.
It’s truly wild that what happens in our brains is projected forward into our future selves.
Dear Leslie: I'm so happy to see/read that you are already using it and that's working for you in amazing ways! I love your expansion and the sharing activity. What a fantastic idea! I'm sending you a DM as well for a collab opportunity. Cheering you on, M
Awe. I love seeing people realize that they have the power to change their circumstances with small intentional practices that are free for everyone! Looking forward to your message and a possible collab
This is so real. I lived something similar, and I changed my life the same day my daughter left me out of her family drawing. I asked where I was, and she replied, “In a meeting.” I did ask her to draw me in because I was still in the family, and so she put me upside down, on my own, in a corner of the paper.
Dear Suzanne: thank you so much for sharing your own experience! that's so powerful and at the same time heart breaking. And congrats on changing your life the same day! that's incredibly brave and courages of you! Cheering you on, M!
Dear Yolanda: Thank you so much. I'm so deeply touched that it resonated with you and that it brought tears to your eyes! I deeply and greatly appreciate you!
You articulated cognitive framing in simple words with your insightful perspectives and actions. This is a remarkable post that can guide anyone struggling to find their calling and voice. Thank you for writing this valuable story from the heart. Everything you said deeply resonated with me.
Dear Carole: you've made my day! thank you so much for your kind and generous words! I try really hard to write from the bottom of my heart/soul! Cheering you on! M

I’m with you Chris! Mind blowing!

"It's like you can hear me now." 😭♥️ What a life changing moment for you. And your son!
Awww. Dear Kat, thank you for the kind words!

My EFT coach recommended a similar exercise, but sent me an Audible link to 14 Neville Goddard books. Thanks for simplifying so I can start now!
Dear Fraulein Zen: I'm so glad to hear that it makes sense now and cheering you on, in your work and journey! M
This was so beautifully written. I teared reading it. Thank you for sharing and will be trying this exercise out!

Absolutley and super excite about collab opportunity!

Oh Magdalena, this brought tears to my eyes. Truly, if anything demonstrates the Courage to Create, this is it.
It looks like this exercise is going gangbusters for you now too, so I'm thrilled for you!
Dear Yolanda: Thank you so much. I'm so deeply touched that it resonated with you and that it brought tears to your eyes! I deeply and greatly appreciate you!

Dear Dr. Mehmet: thank you so much for reading and I'm so glad that it resonated with you and that you fond it valuable. Greatly appreciate you!
You are such a good story teller! You make us feel it. You don't just tell us "stuff". It's very powerful.
Dear Carole: you've made my day! thank you so much for your kind and generous words! I try really hard to write from the bottom of my heart/soul! Cheering you on! M
