The most under rated method to achieve success is: The power of
Visualisation. The best kept secret of success on the sports
field and in athletics is: The power of Visualisation. The
situation where the mind is in charge of the body. Athletes and
other sportspersons constantly use the power of thought to
change their lives. To bring them success. When all else is
equal the master card is: the power of your mind. Your mind is
the most under rated method to achieve success. It’s a known
fact that we subconsciously work towards that which we can
visualise. The secret is; to ensure that the visualisation is
good for you. What you visualise is what you want to achieve. As
long as you hold a picture, a visualisation, in your mind you
are naturally drawn towards it. Sports people are proving time
and time again that the power of thought, the power of
visualisation, can run your life. A fact that is dismissed by
most of us on the planet. We are too busy doing. Too busy making
the next buck rather than stopping and seeing if there is
another method that can make life easier.
In other words, how you can change your behaviour from one that
is always doing. Always searching for success. To one that by
following a few simple rules can have success in the palm of
your hand. To be successful you have to change the place from
where you start..
As Dr. Wayne Dyer writes "all of our behaviour results from the
thoughts that preceded it...so the thing to work on is not your
behaviour but the thing that caused your behaviour, your
thoughts”
It’s all about mind over matter. There is no doubt that thoughts
are a non physical powerful energy that can influence other
people and things. To get the most out of life you must give to
yourself. If you are putting 90% of your attention and effort
into other people and work and 10% into yourself. You are on the
wrong track. You are going in the wrong direction. You need to
concentrate more on the self. We know, you were brought up being
told that that is selfish. You have to think of others. Put
others first. But that just puts you back in the trap. You have
to focus on yourself. Understand who you are and what your deep
seated passion is. Understand why you are on this planet. What
your core skills are. Then when you focus on yourself and your
skills you achieve success, gain happiness and peace and become
a much better person to live with. If your thoughts are not
right then nothing will work. If you cannot visualise where you
want to be then you have little chance of getting there.
Remember your thoughts are powerful. The most powerful
instrument that you posses is the power of your thoughts.
Thoughts are responsible for the world you live in. They mould
and shape your attitudes. They are the creative force in your
life. Every thing you do is preceded by a thought. The quality
of your thoughts determine the quality of your life. Do you want
to know how important your thoughts are? Arthur Preston Smith
asserts in his PhD Dissertation ,submitted in 1998, that The
power of thought can also assist in the healing of serious
illnesses. He states in the conclusion of his dissertation that:
‘this evidence strongly supports the proposition that thoughts,
attitudes and beliefs can significantly affect health’. Thoughts
can and do affect the way you live. Thoughts can and do affect
your health. Thoughts can and do affect your life style.
Thoughts can and do affect your success rate. Thoughts can and
do affect your level of happiness. Dr. Ernest Holmes, the
founder of Science of Mind also stated that: ‘Hence, drugs and
surgery can buy time for the patient to correct his thinking,
even if they cannot cure or prevent disease in the end. The
disease will likely recur in some form if the thinking does not
change’ (our emphasis) Not only do your thoughts affect your
health, the research is saying that visualisation can actually
improve your health. What more evidence do you need to accept
that your thoughts are powerful. Your thoughts run your life.
Sportspeople and academic researchers are proving that your
thoughts are the key to a successful, healthy life.
In a nutshell; what you think is what you become. So, if for the
past weeks, months or years you have been thinking negative
thoughts. For example: you have been thinking that you are not
good enough to do something. You have insufficient skills to do
a particular job. You feel that you are not as good as another
person. You believe that you are ‘thick’. You believe that you
are not as good as others. You believe that your time will come
when your children have left home. You believe you will be able
to do it when you have more money. You believe that
fundamentally you are not made that way. You maintain that you
are no suited to that particular way. Whatever negativity you
have been thinking of.
These are not thoughts that breed success and happiness. These
thoughts may well be with you as a result of the way you grew up
and your education. They may be part of your being, but if you
want a successful, happy life they are not going to help you.
The fact is, most people who aim to be successful go for it hook
line and sinker. Then when they have achieved they will be able
to buy all the things they want and then they will be happy.
Wrong.
To become successful and powerful you have to change the way you
do things. To do more of what you have always done is not going
to work, that is just going to give you the same results. You
have to do something different. As Einstein said :
‘one cannot solve a problem at the level of thinking that is
creating the problem’.
Success comes from changing your thoughts. You just have to
change your thoughts. Often people try to live their lives
backwards: They try to have more things in order to do more of
what they want, so that they will be happier. The way it
actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really
are, then do what you need to do in order to have what you want.
(Shakti Gawain, in Creative Visualization) It’s as easy as that.
All you have to do: is change your thoughts, live life in the
opposite direction to that which you currently live. Can you
visualise that? That’s the most under rated method to achieve
success.
Good Luck
