One has to have a dream because, when one loses one’s dream, one dies.
Visualization is a positive thinking carried one step further. In visualizing one does not merely think about a hoped-for-goal; one sees and imagines it with tremendous passion. The desired goal or the outcome is pictured so vividly by the conscious mind that the unconscious mind accepts it and is activated by it. Your subconscious mind does not know the difference between a real event and a vividly imagined one.
You need to use your imagination for your benefits instead of your failures. That is you should stop replaying your failures over and over in your mind. God gave us this extraordinary gift so that we can create clear and vivid experiences the way that we would like them to be.
I would like to narrate a small incident of businessman, Lee Edward. He was in the insurance business and was quite successful at it. But a day came when success meant little. Lee had cancer of the bladder and the doctors lost all hopes of saving him. That is when ‘visualization’ came to his favor. He began to imagine armies of healing white blood cells in his body, cascading down from his shoulders, sweeping through his veins, attacking the malignant cells and destroying them. He went through this imaging process a hundred times constantly day and night. Day after day Lee replayed the battle scene in his mind. Visualization along with a determined prayer made him feel terrific and six months later when Lee went back for a check-up the malignant mass was gone.
This technique is effective in just about all the important areas of living. It is one of the great principles of creative living and an amazing way to open doors to problem solving and to goal achievement. But there must be a discipline, determination, patience and persistence if the problem is to be solved or the dream is to become a reality.
Just remember when you want to achieve something, hold in your mind the picture of yourself achieving it. Make it as real as you possible can. And remember this too: You’re never defeated by anything until you accept in your mind the thought that you are defeated. You can image victory or you can image defeat. You can program yourself in either way. Anybody can experiment with it. There’s nothing difficult about it and can be applied to just about any problem under the sun.
