Hey MuddyBoots.

Yes, envisaging ones future knowing things may not go to plan, may be quite off-putting to even making a plan to begin with. I can understand that.I think the idea is to start by asking yourself, realistically, "What do I want from life?" "What are things I've always wanted to do, achieve or attain, that I don't have now?" Then you basically imagine how your life will look or be having attained those things in the future, obviously and that's it. You should be smiling to yourself at that point. Yes, there might or will be setbacks along the way but that's where the saying "get back on the horse" will need to be drawn upon. The willpower to keep going. The initial plan may need tweeking along the way too, some goals may change and that's okay, it's "flexibility, but that is essentially it. The envisaging happens in the mind and in the imagination based on you as a person, who you are - what is in your heart.
