Attaining Success Using The Tool Of Visualization
A study shows that the majority of sportsmen and women, who win at prominent international
events, are trained to use the tool of visualization to achieve success. Many months
before the actual event, they visualize i.e. they create pictures of success inside
their minds that they have already achieved their goal. The same principle of visualization
is also used to cure patients from major illnesses including cancer. Patients are
taught to visualize their diseased organs free from illnesses or visualize the organs
receiving healing energy in some form or the other. Visualization helps people to
have 100% belief in themselves that they will achieve the desired goal. The efforts
made with this powerful energy of belief have a greater probability of success than
when you make the efforts without believing in what you are doing and without visualizing
yourself as achieving your objectives.
If you think about your failures from the past, you stop believing in yourself,
lose your enthusiasm and get frustrated. Visualizing images of a positive future
helps you work from the present towards the future, without allowing the past failures
to have any negative influence on you. You visualize yourself as a person, who has
already overcome his fears and negative habits, and the fears are removed and the
negative habits are transformed. You see yourself already transformed e.g.
you say "I am a soul full of all powers" and not "I am going to
or am trying to fill myself with all powers ". The power of that vision and
the positive affirmations, combined together, is such that it helps you to bring
about a major change in yourself, not just a small change, because you make it easy
for your sub-conscious mind that is sleeping to wake up and realize its potential.
You stop always expecting the worst and hope for, visualize and believe in the best.

Message for the day 17-02-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To see ourselves in the mirror of knowledge is to bring progress in ourselves.
Projection: The usual way of looking at ourselves when things don't go right
with us is to either look at ourselves with self-pity or to point out others' mistakes.
When we do this we lose the opportunity of learning from whatever has happened and
so there is no progress.
Solution: The ideal way of looking at ourselves when things go wrong is to
look with a knowldgeful eye and see what we can improve in ourselves. We only have
to look and we are sure to find something that we can work on and improve. This
brings about real progress in us.
