This exercise changed my life. I did it with my mother back in 2016 when she was still alive, she passed away last year in October 2017. The crazy thing is, most of the end goals I wrote and she wrote, started manifesting rapidly right after we did the exercise. Today, I have lived 50& of the items on my 3 most important questions. THANK YOU VISHEN

Experience: 1) get together 2) making photographes of flowers and sell them 3) a beautifull home and garden Growth: 1) Full of energy 2) orthomoluculaire therapist 3) photography skills 4) coaching skills Contributions: 1) coaching youngsters to reach their goals 2)helping elders with digital information 3) make people happy with my pictures

I have followed your meditation practices with some success. I have been amazed by what Christie Marie has changed in me. But I think that the three questions may just have saved my life. I think I have just realised that I should be living my life for me. Not for others. This does not stop me loving or contributing, but does give me value and status.

Man, absolutely loved this exercise, the three-minute time frame just makes you extract what's most important to you. I'm extremely shocked at my results. thank you so much.

I should have learnt about mindvalley 5years ago. Lakhiani, I will forever be grateful. You're my mentor, though a different world apart. Love you mindvalley community, from Kenya!

I don't usually watch videos this long, but it captivated me! Watched till the very end then joined Mindvalley straight after. But I'm not saying this to convince anyone else, I'm saying it simply to say - Thank you. This is going to change my life for the better,

I always used to live by my goals as a child, and not worry about the means, because I knew only Total trust in THEMOSTHIGH, what was for me as a child, an inner voice and reality ,,and outward Divine Light Presence, and Fire in my Bones.Thank you Vishen and Co. Tribe, you have once again allowed this magnificent girl to rise, play and flow. All my life is dedicated to the Freedom of those held captive by themselves in layers of cages that what you call “Brules” taught them to erect. 🙏🏾

OMG!!! What a totally powerful exercise Vishen! I’m sitting in a library in a town in Northern Ontario preparing to apply to work as I was terminated resented with no explanation and with this freedom I am taking a positive position that the universe is working in my favour. The universe offers me this fabulous opportunity for enormous personal growth and my hands tremble with joy and gratitude for this phenomenal ride. How many people get this opportunity to recalibrate, recalculate and redirect their lives into who they truly are meant to be?? I mean really!!! I am so blessed. I am so very moved by what I just wrote down in response to the three questions. I truly feel my life is meant to be extraordinarily and I anticipate that as I move forward the universe has my back and guides me. I recently participated in the Bending Reality Master Class and enroll in Becoming Limitless. I’m am happy and truly grateful for your work Vishen as with these tools I feel great, no extraordinary things coming my way!! With a heart bursting with gratitude many thanks Vishen!!! Namaste, Stevie See you in Becoming Limitless ❤️🙏😃

I've experienced a lot in my 47 years of life so far, but this exercise helped me see how much more I want to add to my collections of experiences, goals and contributions! I've always asked both of my sons the question of NOT "What do you want to be when you grow up?", because to me, even from a young age, I never understood the question, but instead "How many things do you want to experience and be as you grow in your life?" Doing this helped confirm what I've always felt and glad I'm teaching them that there is NO box, inside or out. I will be having my 13 and 18 year old sons complete this as well. Thank you!

Initially I underestimated this, it is actually really great, offering great value in clarity and manifesting!

These 3 questions arrived at the most needed moment in my life! I always had goals and manage to fulfilled them, but since 2 years I have been stuck and without goals...II wanted a family, but for the last 6 years I have not be able to have a baby. Since then it has been really difficult to move forward and find a purpose. I am now 41 years old and want to move forward with my life and stop the procrastination. Thank You Vishen and thank you MindValley ;-)

Thank you so much for this free content! It's a great tool to reflect on my goals in life as a 17-year old teenager. I have developed consciousness and connection with myself thanks to your videos! Greetings from Paraguay.

I just finished this exercise and realised that there are so many of the word 'difference' in my answers. I will explore it more into details and do something about it. Starting by questioning with why being different is ok for me. Thanks

The most amazing thing about this excercise, after going through it, was to see, how I believed that it is hard for me to rewrite my vision the way I wanted it initially, to see the my end goals were exactly what my vision is made out of. That exercise simply blew me away. I want to make an impact on the world by have a big company, teaching people how to evolve and win at life. I want to travel to Japan, Europe and the Americas to experience great views, hotels, and restaurants. I want to help and contribute to my sister, who is a single parent and my parents by helping them when they need by the abaundance of time and money that I will have to contribute to their lives as well by help and money to free them from having to survive on their own.

I must say this: If you want to 'grow' in all phases of life, stick to MindValley. Listen to Vishen et al. I have a long list at each pillar - the most important is to have my husband, my three kids and closest friends grow with me. Maybe this is a set time each week where we watch one video and share valuable thoughts - re mindvalley - the best to start with? The 6 phases of meditation - so much food for thought in their. I love the feeling of peacefulness after the meditation session. Thank you Vishen. Thank you MindValley!

I started this exercise with a bad mindset. Having just finished it I feel much better. I love this shit. I found Mindvalley back in June of 2019 and it has been a crucial factor in assisting me back to wholeness. For anyone out there feeling trapped in their own minds by their past, KEEP GOING. Keep waking up. Each day that you take one positive step forward will help! The hardest part about healing yourself is the compound effect of the past on the future. The mind takes time to set new routines. Keep letting go and keep taking the right steps. Eventually the fog clears, the negative self talk ends, and you're left with a beautiful beautiful beautiful mind. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Keep going.

Vishen, I am so excited I found you! I realize that you and I actually think alike, however with your help, I see where I have gotten off course through circumstances in my past. Now I am back on track and I thank you for being that catalist that woke me up! I would love to be a part of your movement and help and heal others! Thank you so much!

I have lot of ideas regarding experience, growth, and contribution but I never wrote on a piece of paper. These exercise keeps me motivated for achieving goals and leads pathway to dreams. Thanks Vishen Sir.

Just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for all your help and insights. Keep up the good work!

My three visions were experiencing an open relationship with my daughters in which we can share differing opinions respectfully, becoming more physically flexible, and inspire parents. My greatest contribution will to be to inspire teachers to learn how to empower their children with the understanding of their energy,(how it works, what to do when their energy becomes out of balance), how to set goals using Vishen's suggested methods and the six phase meditation, and how to create a daily routine to assist children in learning how to set their intentions for the day. I see myself writing children's books and blogs to manifest this. To do that I need to learn how to draw and paint so as to create these books so they engage children and inspire them to practice so they can have a life by design! I am inspired to start now! Wow. where did that come from?

When we keep service and contribution as our paradigm for our future vision and progress, then our 3 most important questions flow through freely and boldly as profoundly inspired responses. Crafting my vision board was an absolute labor of love when I took the Be Extraordinary Quest and I can see how the overlap with this Quest actually helps reinforce both past efforts and keep them current in the now. Pretty awesome!

Wow, this really sparked some beautiful ideas in my brain, thanks Vishen! An important lesson about happiness is to make others happy and I’m glad you shared and reminded us. Blessings be upon you and may your work keep growing.

wow! I could not stop smiling while i was making my lists...what a joy to dream and to look forward to the outcome of it all! thank you

Thank you very much for that great exercise. I am very happy because I can discover my dreams every day

This exercise helped me to discover to discover myself even deeper than I thought. I am somewhat of a freshman in this exercise right now, and my paper was´t that what I expected it to be, but no need to worry because I will improve with time. thank you Mr. Lakhiani.

I always wanted to live a simple life although my husbands dream is to travel the world. I thought I was boring to not have a similar dream, but Vishen just said .. having a minimilistic life is also beautiful. That gave me a relief and confidence in my own dreams. Thank you Vishen ... you are making me comfortable in my skin, my dreams.

thank you Vishen and Mindvalley. Have been watching your videos in youtube and just recently signed up on mindvalley's the 6 phase meditation program. Day 4 lead me to this video on goal setting. Your "envisioning the future" exercise is amazing. It gave me clairity at a time when i felt i am at a crossroad. Thank you for sharing. : )

Hi Vishen, I absolutely loved this practice. You are truly an angel that God has sent in my life. I m trying to learn as much as i can from you and trying to adapt it myself and my life. Much appreciated to the infinity Square. Rise and shine!!

I will create a strong economy and a well organized intentional community.

This was so refreshing, I really felt alive, especially in the contribution section. My top three are (experience, beautiful sunrises and sunsets in exotic places) (Growth acting classes) (Contribution facilitate wealth seminars)

This made my heart raise, thank you so much for this experience. Truly feel like I have found my tribe of people. Here is my sheet. What a dream it would be if I could your academy

I love this but may I make a suggestion? Give the examples before the 3-minute countdown begins, and let there be silence during the actual countdown. I found listening to the examples very distracting and had to turn off the video to do the exercise. But, it is a very powerful exercise, so thank you.

love the idea of managers doing this for their employees , would make for a very meaningul and purpose driven organization

I think it's an amazing exercise. And your sharing of how those three people achieved many of their end goals - simply inspiring. I've always thought that I had to focus on means-goals, rather than end-goals, so I guess I sometimes wondered, "What's really the point of achieving these goals?" It's really enlightening to know that I can, really, achieve anything that I want to. To share my end-goals: 1. Experiences - to live and love life with a life partner who I deserve being the child of God that I am; have weekly dinner parties with friends; have a happy, love, and beautiful family; travel the whole world and have friends in every continent; travel the world and share my music and art, to connect and inspire people across the globe; have a nice cosy home that really makes my heart feel at home 2. Growth - emotional strength and stability; physical fitness, vitality, ability - being able to do the Spartan challenge; taking online guitar and singing courses; being a DTM in Toastmasters; learning Chinese, Malay, Cantonese, Hokkien; take a course in Buddhism at a local temple; read 3000 books in my lifetime 3. Contribution - become a world class therapist; have an NGO on mental health with an emphasis on awareness, destigmatisation, education, and support to locals; donating large sums of money to environmental ngos; becoming a world class musician that connects and inspires others; raise my children to be as happy and healthy as they can be; am a Rotary mentor; volunteer and contribute heavily to an online support group I'm a part of Here's to us achieving our end-goals! Cheers! :D

Didn't wanted at first...then went beautifully simple: heal my MS, being able to do a big pilgrimage and witness my experience

It's really funny and enjoyable. One minute earlier I was worried about my paycheck, but then diving to the goals, I am feeling so happy. I never thought life could be happy in this way. Thank you for your tutor!

I found this exercise so useful to do. I literally captured my purpose in life without judging myself an getting locked into how all this is going to happen. Awesome Namaste

Vishen, This truely inspiring.. I was struggling without knowing what should my future look like, but this excercise revealed it and surprised me with the kind of goals I have set for myself. Truely grateful for you for the course man!

Great exercise! Everybody should do this both personal and open at work!!!

Thank you Vishen, you really walk the talk, I have taken several of all the free master classes you offer, in all of them I appreciate you are contributing, with no compensation, with very valuable exercises, meditations and practices. This shows how you are keeping your intention to change other people's lives. Namasté. Congratulations

I loved this method because as Vishen spoke, it kept me from going into the left brain. I found my lists were things that I might have stopped the flow with doubts. My soul got to express freely without my minds limiting thoughts! I love every class I have taken from Mind Valley. The universe introduced me because this was exactly what I was seeking. I am excited for what my future holds. Thank you!

excelent finally I found the way to stablish my end goals and finished what I start, thanks a lot

Wow. This was awesome. I always had plans on my head but never executed them because I thought that I will never be able to do them all. But after making the list I felt more motivated to fulfill them because overall pretty much all of them were linked together. Thank you so much vishen. I'm so glad I found this in such an early stage in my life

I sincerely loved this exercise! Almost all my ideas move around Nature, Healing, Design, Collaboration and Data. Can you envision something like that? Doesn't seem that they are connected but they are!!!

This exercise helped me to set my goals. I am a person who is used to live day by day but this exercise opens horizons. I was even able to visualize my experiences for the phase 4 of the 6phase meditation. I want to keep on with Mindvalley. Thank you to you Vishen and your beautiful team

Thank You for sharing a way that I could Visualize my end goals

i loved this exercise. Never done a goal setting like this. I am so clear about the 3 categories. Thank you

Love this, I was kinda lost with my goals, but this helped me a lot, out of brules!!! Tks!

Sir..... I'm so happy for you to be so much for the first time I was just wondering if you want ... More and more likes

Mindblowing! GREAT exercise! Loved it! I'm going to teach others how to turn their messes into their message through my autobiography!!!!

thank you so much you are very inspiring!! i hope i will be able to inspire in my ways through this.....thank you

This is my first comment on youtube EVER, but this exercise is so important to me, that I gladly comment: Experiences: Being a great martial artist and visit various martial art schools around the world (phillipines, japans, maybe china, etc.), becomming a great Modern Arnis (also called Eskrima or Kali) trainer. Becomming a great physicist and improve current or even develop new technologies to improve life for as many humans as possible and the environment, too. Help and support people with philosophy and give them new perspectives. Speak on a big stage, being mentioned in newspapers and giving interviews, experience emotional moving games, books, comics, etc. Growth: acquire new ways of thinking, a great self esteem, high emotional intelligence, high levels of martial art skills, learning new languages, acquire wisdom Contribution: Support and help friends and family, give them compassion and love, inspire people, writing moving stories and texts

This is amazing. I am amazed by the 3rd question. Actually, I have been thinking only about myself the whole time. Now, I understand where I went wrong. The contribution is more important than saving money. Yes. it works. I tried for 2 weeks. And very very effective.

I was going to do this later, as always, later, and I thank you so much Vishen by actually guiding us during the 3 minute session to help me really be clear and I have such a beautiful and inspirational sheet. I have just become a member of Mindvalley All Access Awesome Opportunity, I usually evaluate so much that I end up not doing anything, but Vishen you truly inspire and all the speakers that offer programs through this platform are truly Mind-blowing. When I saw the video with the opportunity to join with an All Access Pass to all the programs, It took me about 5 minutes and I was in! I love it so much, and this was 2 days ago that I joined and I am getting so much value and answers and peacefulness that it really is possible when a person consistently learns every single day of the year and for ever after that. Consistency and Top Level Guidance and mentorship. Wow. I am blown away by all I am getting, a life, My Life, thank you for guiding me into finding Myself. Truly beautiful. Lots of Love to the entire Mindvallley team! A Fest here I come! Bless you.

Become a phenomenal Politician, who have the passion and vision for the future. Want to do interview with Jay Shetty. I am grateful that I sign up with mindvally. Thank you sooooooooo much.

Loved this exercise, it was like affirming some of the dreams I already had on my mind. 1) Experience- See this beautiful world, Attend Afest , 2) Growth - File for PCC coaching 3) Contribnution - Write blogs, post videos on positivity

I look forward to diving deeper into the 3 Most Important Questions. This is the first time I timed myself to create goals and surprisingly it is not so far fetched as it usually ends up to be. The goals were based on my wants right here and now, not on "The American Dream". 1 I want to experience connection and compassion with others on an emotional and spiritual level to complete a common cause that enlightens the world. 2 I will develop the skills to have the willingness to be vulnerable and trust the world and my environment, change beliefs that the world is a safe place. 3 I want to contribute by empowering people to overcome obstacles in their life in family and at work or school, to be their best. Always going and never giving up.

It's great exersice, I hear about first time it in 2022 and I did this for 2023 Year

Thanks Vishen. I realize what are the things that I really want. Thanks for allow me to dream again. I went through a course like this, but with the passage of time I lose myself again. That course that I took was the awareness of what I was doing wrong. But now I know I won’t lose myself again and that I will inspire people to follow their dreams too.

Lots of thanks Vishen. I was trying to actualize many mean goals that felt awful to me. But now my end goals were designed in more detail and thinking of them feel natural, good and easier to attain.

A very inspiring exercise. Made me think about my life in a deeper way. Thanks

Nice and jumped from 4th phase of 6 phase meditation. I like the three phase approach...I will refine it. More importantly...is how you look at life and envision future for humanity as whole! I personally thank Vishen..for making such programs. You talk with enthusiasm and I can sense energy each time..which makes that extra..exciting. I am getting curious and like the BRULES! Big fan of Mind Valley now! Cheers..world

Made my list thanks for pointing me n the right direction. I️ have a lot to work on 😎

This process reminded me of who I really am! Also reminded me of what is possible when I show up! THANK YOU!!!!

I just made the page and it was extremely easy to keep in writing which surprised me a lot as very time I tried to do this on the past or was super hard. I’m happy, inspired because I just have a fantastic experience they growth in Thai step. Many thanks

Hi Vishen, thanks for the wonderful explanation on the 3 most important question. i was reading your book title "The Buddha and the Badass" when I came across this topic. I am enjoying reading it. Thank you. Namaste.

I went crazy doing this i wanted to write everything so fast hahahah. And i ended up writing more than i could have thought i thought i have already a lot and i wrote more something i coudnt wven imagine before but i love them already so much. Thank you for such amazing exercise!😁❤️

I want to create the most wonderful and coolest accounting firm in the world. Building a accounting firm in a manner that nobody has ever done . I want it in such a way that it doesn't feel like a firm . From infrastructure to culture within the firm i want everything to be different.

Even though C. S. Lewis said "You do not have a soul. You are a soul. What you have is a body." My thoughts are that my body + my spirit = my soul. That we come to earth to GAIN a body to be the temple of our spirit and that we are to marry our body and our spirit to complete our soul. The spirit is willing to do good always yet the body is carnal so to bring them together we balance ourselves out and become whole.

And I started to question my Brules: earning money hard, play less. That's horrioble. I think I need change my mind. That is working time is atually playing time to let me do something for others instead of being extracted by boss. And I decided to try this tomorrow. Thanks again!

Your approach is amazing,great insight.

A very revealing exercise; highlighting unexpected growth experiences for me...

I work for climate stabilization, often for free. I am consistently visualizing our humanity pulling us out of our death spiral and my current focus is to be ALL IN to make this happen. The 3 questions push me to find ways I can be effective NOW.

Very useful. Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge. From Portugal. 🙏

This exercise helped me focus on what I really want. A question for Vishen - I am retired after working 40 years, and have no intention to restart a career. What advice do you have for persons in the retirement phase of their life? Thank you.

This is very powerful in getting to know yourself to prepare you in your journey in setting goals, this is a fantastic tool to use. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I had an amazing aha! moment here where I finally understood why it is so important to look after myself and my health. When I set the contribution goal to create a specific number of positive impacts in the world and then 10X every year, it suddenly occurred to me that exponential impact can happen in a very short time and that my capacity to keep generating that is limitless therefore, every year I live and give has 10X the impact before - well, Here's to 100 of more!

Vishen, you are freaking fucking awesome. I deeply appreciate the work you and your whole Team is doing for me individually and us as a species. Beautiful Christmas to you all.

this list was hard I am going to have to practice envisioning. Experiences - teach others to aspire, find a true partner, travel and live within the cultures. Growth - become more fit able to hike, delve into yoga, learn how to zone into art, continue doing quests. Contribution - empower others teach how to sell on-line ethically ,create a youtube or Blog on my journey to show it is possible to reach dreams at any age. even a young 59

Haha you are keeping me busy, love learning from Mindvalley and thank You Mister Lakhiani for sharing. The last point on my list I consider the most important one for now; that we all dare to believe in world piece for al living beeings, for this world is unique.

Very nice exercise sir.... i am so impressed by your learnings.. it can change the world for live a peaceful, meaningful and powerful life. Thank you sir.

Very interesting thought provoking exercise to do. Thank you.

Great exercise, I learned a lot of ways to prioritise my goals from this, and am now adjusting a few things in my plans for this year.

this is a amazing video....i heartily thanks mr. Vishen Lakhiani for doing such a great job of providing true understanding of life and help them to do things which are amazing and real , providing them a direction , my thought of knowing GOD and this world attract me to mindvalley website and also this video. My one end goal is knowing god and this world , and i know i will surely reach my goal.

I really enjoyed how this video helped me to visualize what I want!

Thank you. My day of becoming a full Mind Valley Member is coming ! Infinite Peace & Prosperity

I loved this exercise. I do however, have some feedback regarding the instructions during the process. I felt very distracted from my own creations in each task because of the talk over and suggestions given. I think it might be a great idea to give these suggestions before the clock starts, and then create the space and silence for our thoughts and ideas to come through. It felt a little 'stressful' to be honest, and I ended up just rushing through it trying to block out the suggested dialogue. I really appreciate this exercise though as it is very powerful, so thank you :-)

Hey vishen thanks..I was struggling with goal setting..but this was awesome it helped me setting my goals

thanks a ton Vishen, will share this with my closest friends. I do wish to attend A-fest soon enough, but dont have the means yet, hope i will have it soon. keep up the enriching work you are doing.

not even a second had past on the clock. nailed it all.... I may seem by the world a humble worker at a family own beverage center business, but the getting the millions is not what I want. money is only energy and a tool. my passion is helping beyond the vices. teaching is what I want to do and inspiring others to reach their goal.... and I do. give you an example. three kinds of people. one, thinking within the box, thinking outside the box, the third what is a box? I let them see all possibilities and they choice for themselves. but you would say woo woo. well your teaching what every good witch already knows. but for some reason I am still drawn to all of your companies programs. 99.99 % of the time I am well ahead of your product. yet I should just dismiss the content, but I what and lesson.... is it, a draw to work for mindvalley? or something else....... I will ponder this..... but keep up the good work.

Thank you again Vishen!!

I really enjoyed the exercise definitely want to put more thoughts into the contribution price but I really enjoyed this!

THANKYOU vishen eye opening i know EXACTLY where i am GOING clarity investments time tells TRUTHFULLY....... fascinating ....

Hi Vishen I understand the concepts of end goals and means goals. But, I do wonder, whether the need for money can be called a 'brule'!! It is a reality of iife that for a majority of end goals I have, money is the means to them. For example, I want to be free from the limitations of a tightly scheduled working week. But, to do that, I need the solvency of being able to pay my bills. So, is 'money need' a brule or a reality of the socio economic system we live in ?

Excellent - Blue prints of our Soul

Thank you so much by this video, Vishen. I'm sure that my life is running to a nice way...

Thank you so much Vishen, my Master

Thank you vishen.. Pinned down the 3 most important questions..lots of Love!

Thank you for such a beautiful insight❤
