I could if you really want, but let me give you something (hopefully) more useful. In my many hours trying to help friends and people I know there is 1 idea that I repeatedly come back to.
First though, I recently learned lots of people cant do this... but I can easily visualize a large future outcome that to other people they would say "thats too far from where I am at to think about that"
And not visualize in the sense of "if i visualize it it will come", but if as if I said "picture yourself making a sandwich". This reality is not foreign, so people can do it. You need to do that same thing but with ANY big outcome. The only difference is that there might be more knobs to turn to get there... nothing else.
When talking about this stuff, I get this insanely deep feeling of "magnitude". It happens every time, and its extremely difficult to convey. It's as if in my vision, certain statements are MULTIPLE orders of magnitude more powerful for someone to understand, and i can see that magnitude, but I cant always explain it because what I say gets "flattened" from my minds eye into just a conversation where I can only use the words "IMPORTANT" or capitalize things or raise my voice to emphasize it, and those only convey a 2x important and not a 100000x importance. I encounter this idea a lot and its very frustrating, because I often see how people can evaporate their own problems SO simply, but they just cant "see" it. And even if I tell them over and over, they will still not see it. So, I don't know if this makes sense by what I'm about to say, imagine this as a 1000000x thing. Read through my words into the "infinite void" beyond to grasp in the dark at the importance.
I would say, almost all peoples problems & dreams are solvable if they realize that the shortest path from A->B is a straight line, and that all things are solvable. At any given moment, if you can picture some outcome, you have the capability of performing the actions to produce that outcome. It's really that simple. This is why I said the meditation reference about deeper layers of insight at the beginning, because the statement itself is not profound at all, but in practice its the most profound thing in life ive ever experienced. Its the idea i can do anything, simply by doing it. there is "nothing else". all "problems" are basically self created barring extreme medical conditions and such. I say this because at the end of the day youre capable of performing actions that yield outcomes, and it always falls back to that. there is nothing that escapes this mechanism.
One might say "but my motivation... job... circumstances... focus level... no ideas... too much emotion... fear... etc etc" I have heard them all. They're all solvable by realizing the shortest path is to just do it/not do it, and then deal with all the side effects as separate easily solvable discrete puzzles. Everything that gets in the way is a fallacy created by your own mind to protect you.
Now this is definitely easier said than done, but just like meditation "insight", You learn deeper insight and deeper insight over and over again about the same idea. Each time you learn the same lessen again, you add another magnitude to your own realization of it. You are literally capable of anything. Start with being able to visualize the "perfect" life. if you cant, then dissect why and work backwards, because you most definitely CAN. All your "but I..." are most likely made up bullshit that is actually easily solvable.
I can try to help more later as well, I literally just woke up so my thoughts are not 100% clear. ive written about this in the past in much more clear ways, but I can give you better examples if thats what you want, but ill wait for my mind to wake up first!
