Welcome to Lesson #26 of the Brain Training for Success course!

Your past is a gift you can use to determine your future. The clues your previous behaviors and results provide can be used to create the future of your dreams.

Now, let’s take a look at designing a life that will put a smile on your face when the alarm clock wakes you up each morning.

Before deciding that you’d like to be a billionaire with a private jet and a set of 6-pack abs, determine the type of lifestyle you’d like to live.

Your goals should support the life you’d like to live.

Think about a perfect workday, weekend, and holiday. Ideally, your goals will help to make those a reality.

Determine the lifestyle you’d like to live:
