" Once you decided to fulfill your purpose, what were your first substantive thoughts? Probably not “Point II.A. 3. b. in plan.” Your first ideas were more likely things like “Italian food at Giovanni’s,” or “Sitting at a sidewalk table at the Bistro Café.” You probably also imagined some positive picture of what you might experience or how the evening would turn out—maybe the people involved, the atmosphere, and/ or the outcome. That was your outcome visioning. "
