Power of Imagination
Imagine sitting on a tropical island, a cool breeze blowing against your face. In the distance you can hear the soothing sound of crystal clear waves rolling gently onto the shore.
Peaceful feeling, don't you think?
Imagine running full speed off the edge of a cliff, heart pounding in your chest, with a hang-glider attached to catch your fall. You soar through the air, seeing the world from a bird's eye view. You're on top of the world!
Pretty exciting, isn't it?

Power of the Mind in Action
Before last year, I never noticed any information or advertisements for laptop computers. They were out there, but I paid no attention to them. Then a need arose for laptops for my company.
My mind had a new focus.
It was amazing. I saw and heard things about laptop computers everywhere. Television, radio, and the Internet were filled with ads and deals for laptops. The local convention center was holding a computer sale, every store I passed by seemed to be offering some type of discount on
laptop computers.
I would notice people working on their laptops in the park, at restaurants, and every other place I looked. Because my mind became focused on purchasing several laptops, I began to see things that had always been there.
Soon after purchasing the computers, I didn't hear or see that much about them anymore. Companies didn't stop advertising, my mind just stopped paying attention.
