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?
Imagine going through your entire day without a hint of
stress, tension or worry. Everything goes your way and no
one can get to you. Think about how life would be if
every day went this way. Every day was free from worry and
stress.
Such a relaxing and happy picture.
Something special happens within each of us when we close
our eyes and imagine. We transport ourselves to better
times, and forget, if only for a moment, the struggles of
reality. We can even feel it in our bodies - the energy and
excitement builds with the images of an inspiring future.
This is the magic of visualization.

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

There are no boundaries when it comes to your imagination.
You can create whatever pictures you desire. And it's fast.
A few seconds is all it takes to put you in a state of
excitement and enthusiasm.
Take a few minutes right now to achieve your goals in your
mind. Imagine a life that is exactly as you want it. What
would you do each day? With whom would you do it? Nothing
is too crazy or ambitious.
If you can see it in your mind, you can make it a reality.
Visualization is the first step to bringing a dream to
life. If you can see yourself happy, successful, healthy
and loving life, you can make it happen. The first step is
to visualize it.
Tom Watson, the founder of IBM, once described his secret
to the unbelievable success he helped to create. The IBM
you see today began from one simple technique. It is
something you and I can do at any place and time. The same
method Tom Watson used to grow IBM into a billion-dollar
enterprise is available to you.
He saw a picture in his mind. Before his company began
operating, he knew exactly what it would look like when it
was complete. The picture in his mind was as vivid and
clear as the words you see on the screen in front of you.
He could see the offices, the machines, the employees
working busily accomplishing goals and setting new
standards. He could see the satisfied customers as they
shook hands with his associates. Tom Watson could see the
office he would work from making vital decisions to help
his dream progress.
Tom Watson knew exactly what he was going to create. It was
already real to him, he simply had to show the rest of the
world what was in his mind. And it all began as a picture,
a visualization.

The Secret Revealed
_________________________________________________
What is behind the power of visualization? Powerful,
scientific fact. It is because of this one trait of the
mind that visualization can excite and inspire you to
create a life full of joy and happiness.
The mind cannot tell the difference between a real
experience and one vividly imagined. If you imagine a
picture with enough detail and emotion, your mind will act
on it as if it were real.
Your brain will begin to think of ways to help you achieve
your vision. It will constantly be thinking of ideas to
make your picture a reality. You will begin to notice new
opportunities in your environment that were always there,
you just never looked for them before.

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.
This example demonstrates the power of your mind and magic
of visualization. By creating your dream in your mind, and
painting a vivid picture, your mind will begin to look for
ways to make it real. It's a wonderful gift and one that
you will always possess.
