The Power of Visualization

The Power of Visualization - John Kehoe

“There is no thought in my mind but it quickly tends to convert itself into a power and organizes a huge instrumentality of means.”- Emerson

What is it that makes a person a winner? What distinguishes those who succeed from those who fail?

“It is all in the mind” says Arnold Schwarzenegger. A multimillionaire, successful real estate tycoon, movie star, body-builder, five-time winner of Mr. Universe, Arnold has it made. But it wasn’t always so. Arnold can remember back when he had nothing except a belief that his mind was the key to getting where he wanted to go.

“When I was very young, I visualized myself of being and having what it was I wanted. Mentally, I never had doubts about it. The mind is really so incredible. Before I won my first Mr. Universe, I walked around the tournament like I owned it. The title was already mine. I had won it so many times in my mind that there was no doubt I would win it. Then, when I moved on to the movies, the same thing I visualized myself being a successful actor and earning big money. I could feel and taste success. I just knew it would happen.” Says Arnold Schwarzenegger

Chris Poellein was a member of the world-renowned West German freestyle ski team which won the European Cup six times between 1976 and 1982. “Part of our training program involved working with a psychologist to increase the power of our minds. After training on the slopes we were placed in the state of meditation and encouraged totally to repeat the slope runs in our minds, visualizing each bump and movement of the routine. We worked as hard training mentally as we did physically. Excellence in athletics or indeed any endeavor depends primarily on having a clear mental picture of that activity.” Chris reiterated.

Chris you should know has not only her six medals, but she now has her own successful consulting firm teaching business and sports groups how they, too can benefit from the same technique.

Bryan Edwards, one of Australia’s top life insurance salesmen, a man of infectious good humor and spirits, spend 10 minutes every evening before he goes to bed running over in his mind his next day’s calls. He pictures himself making his presentation to each client. He sees them being receptive and gladly taking out a policy with him. He imagines a very productive day with lots of sales. He does this 10 minutes before he goes to bed and 10 minutes upon rising in the morning; a total of 20 minutes each day. Bryan Edwards sells more insurance in one week than most people do in six months.

Three totally different people with totally different goals and objectives in life, yet all are using the same technique to create and influence their reality; the technique of visualization.

Visualization is using your imagination to see yourself in a situation that hasn’t yet happened, picturing yourself having or doing the thing you wanted and successfully achieving the results you desire. For example, let us say you want to be more confident. Using visualization, you picture yourself as confident. You see yourself doing things, talking to people, all with confidence. You picture yourself in situations that normally give you difficulty and you see yourself in these situations at ease, confident, and performing well. You might picture your friends and associates complimenting you, congratulating you on your new –found confidence. You feel the pride and satisfaction of both being a confident person and of enjoying the things that happen to you as a result of your confidence. You visualize everything that would or could happen to you and live as if it really is happening to you.

Here’s how to go about successful visualization:

First, decide what you want to do; may be pass an examination, get a promotion, meet someone new, make a lot of money, be more confident, win the squash game…

Second, relax; spend several minutes unwinding so that you are comfortable in body and mind.

Third, spend 5-10 minutes visualizing the reality you want.

Linger on thoughts of doing and having the right thing you want now, not as some future reality that might happen or could happen. Live in your mind as if it’s really happening to you. Create little inner film clips or videos. See yourself doing the thing you want. On one level, you know it’s not yet happening to you; it’s not yet real. It’s still just visualization, a mental picture. But the mental picture we indulge in, the one we regularly think about becomes a blueprint for our goals, a mould into which we pour our energy.

Build whatever characteristics are necessary in your visualization. If talent, courage, determination, or persistence is vital parts of the picture, include them. Sometimes you will see clear, sharp images as if you are watching yourself featured in a movie, accomplishing your goal. Other times, you just sort of ‘think about’ your goals in a general way; this is all fine. You can alternate between precise and free-flowing visualization, doing a few minutes of each, or concentrate on whatever technique you feel most comfortable.

PRECISE VISUALIZATION

Put the exact pictures and scenes you want in your mind. Follow the pre-set script you have created and run it through your mind a number of times.

FREE-FLOW VISUALIZATION

Allow images and thoughts to come and go without choosing them directly, as long as they show positive outcome of your goal.

I should mention at this point that visualizing something once or twice is of little effect. Results come when the image is imprinted again and again and again for a period of weeks or months until your goal has been achieved. Don’t try to measure success after only one or two attempts. If doubts or contradictory thoughts arise, and occasionally they will, just ignore them. Don’t try resisting them or fighting them, simply letting those thoughts come and go in your consciousness without much notice. Just keep repeating your visualization and everything will quite naturally look after itself.

HOW TO TURN YOUR PASSION INTO A MONEY MAKING VENTURE AND HOW YOU CAN SECURE YOUR FUTURE BY BUILDING IT TO A COMPANY.

Success-Minded

Every Nigeria has a right to be happy and prosperous. As a nation, we are so much blessed with rich human andnatural resources. Hence, there is no course for any Nigerian to cry of poverty. I know that some people will be saying now, does this guy know what he is saying? May be, he has been opportune to make it and here he is ‘blabbing’. Yes, I have made it but it was not by mere chance but as a result of concerted and well channeled efforts. As a person, I made up my mind that I will not be deterred by the Nigerian factors from achieving my dream financial independence and lifestyle. And, I matched this commitment with a well focused effort. It did not come easy but the sweet part of it is that all the efforts led to a dream come through.

How Did I Make It?

First, I was not happy with the condition of my life and the kind of life I was living. I knew it was not the kind of life I dreamed to live, so I started querying my mind on how I can change my situation. First, I started looking for opportunities around me. I kept my eyes open, my mind receptive and system ever ready to adapt to reasonable and realistic changes. I read books, journals and nice magazines. It was at this point of my life that I came in contact with Success Digest Extra (SDE) and the rest were history.

The introduction of SDE to my life marked the beginning of a new era in my life. SDE as an income newsletter has everything you may need to identify and harness your potentials. By reading SDE, I started searching for what my passion is. I found out that I love reading, writing and teaching others whatever new thing that I have found out. Hence, I started thinking how I can monetize these passions of mind. I tried my hands in creative writing which yield result in the completion of a novel, though yet unpublished. But, I was not getting the money as I hoped. After some trials, I noticed that I do not have the skills and knowledge required to achieve my dream fast. So, I did not hesitate to attend those seminars in Internet Marketing. Truly, the seminars paid.

The seminars helped me in this ways;

I learnt some strategies and skills that were new to me and were very useful in my endeavors. I kept learning and improving on the numerous skills and strategies of the business. The most beautiful thing about internet marketing is that it gives you opportunity to do so many things at the same time. This is called Multiple Streams of Income. It may interest you to know that I specialize in these niches,

Network Marketing – I promote a network marketing company/products using the power of the internet and at the same time, teach other network marketers some extremely powerful online and offline skills and strategies that can help them get to the top of their opportunity in six months.

Small Business Marketing – as a consultant, I teach business owners how to use the internet to double their sales and their profit.

Business Start-up ideas – I help people identify their potentials and help them develop them into money making ventures.

Direct Sales Marketer – I promote other company’s products and services and earn commission every single time my prospects buy any of the products/services that I promote.

It is very important that I add this part. Everything that I am achieving now could not be possible if not for the inspiration and continuous guidance of the Holy Spirit. When I started, I thought I could do it with my human strength. But, I only was able to achieve results that were far less satisfactory. Until I encountered God and allowed him to take total, I mean absolute control of my life and that was when I started seeing real results. My passion and commitment tripled. My creativity became super flux and my ability to implement plans become excellent. All these are to the glory of God. The truth is that we are created in the image and likeness of God (Gen 1:26-30). Thus, we have the spirit of God in us. Remember, God has the creative power or you may call it, the productive power of the Supreme God. We have a share in this power. By believing it and acting on it, it starts manifesting in your life. (Joshua 1:3) So, what is it that is stopping you? SIN, I presuppose. Know that you know, why not fix it!

How You Can Make It

1.       The first thing you need to do is to change your way of thinking. You should be engaging in productivity thinking. Also, think of how you can change the difficulties or problems surrounding you. Know you that you are not the only person facing such difficulty, so if you find a solution to it, you can monetize to help others.

2.       Develop a reading culture. Read good literatures from motivational, to personal development, to business start up, to spiritual and so on. As long as it will add value to your life, read it. Readers, they say, are leaders. Do you want to be a leader? The answer is yours! Also, listen to audios and watch videos of information products that can change your life positively.

3.       Have a commitment. You need to reach a resolution that you will change your situation for good no matter the challenges thereof. This will spur you to break all barriers that may come your way in the course of pursuing your dream.

4.       Develop ‘to – do’ spirit. Apart from planning, you have take action. Just start from where you are and with what you have. Then, continue to improve until you perfect.

5.       Get a mentor. You need a mentor that will help you in your chosen path. Choose somebody that has excelled in your chosen area of endeavor. Do not consult a physician for a case of an engineer. That is the worst thing that will happen to you.

6.       Finally, and MOST IMPORTANT, you MUST embrace God. He is the architect/planner of your life. If you consult Him, He will show you the key to every plan of your life. Then, you will start to experience new things in your life.

I wish you a ‘Better Than Good’ experiences as you take on this journey.
