Success Sunday (PostID 1217)

“When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.”
–Mark Twain
This is in honor of The Hub’s birthday today! The reason why I chose this as the success quote, is it shows Imagination. That was one of The Hub’s favorite words when I met him. I’m sure it still is. So I thought it was very appropriate for his Birthday.
So let’s talk about Imagination and Success. In my opinion, Success is a result of being able to envision yourself accomplishing your goal before you actually do. And it isn’t good enough to envision it as something that will happen in the future but as if it were happening now. Keeping that vision alive is what allows you to have confidence that it will happen
Imagination can have a bad side, if you are imagining horrible things. I have been taught “What you think about, you bring about.” If you have seen The Secret, then you know that that is the point they are making.** It is a very spiritual-belief-neutral film, so if that might offend you then I don’t recommend it necessarily. Basically you actually manifest what you picture in your head – positive or negative. I do use the “finding a parking space” example, and it has happened more times than not! The only difference probably that I do versus the guy on the film who tells of that story is I say a quick thanks to God. I laugh at myself each time it happens!
The Hub would use a running example. He imagines himself crossing the finishline. That’s the only way that I can see how anyone can run 26.2 miles all in one day. Lol. But if you pay attention to people who are known for their success, they were driven by a vision that they imagined in their head.
What’s your opinion?

I also agree that you must envision yourself as the success that you want to become.. not future tense but right now. This process helps you make the necessary steps to get you where you need to be.
Happy Birthday to your Hub!
