Do You Have A Creative Imagination?
"Many a false step is made while standing still." - Chinese Proverb
Here's a quick refresher on the importance of shaping it in your mind to find it in your life.
Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton described how she rehearsed her routines in her mind visualizing every step, every leap every placement before putting her body to the actual performance.
Bodybuilding champion and film star turned Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, said that lifting weights is only a physical follow-through to visualization, as long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something.
He said, "I visualize myself being there already having already achieved the goal."
Concert pianists often practice in their head when readying a piece for performance. Once they've memorized it they can play it in their mind without the piano. They visualize the keyboard, then they can practice in an airport or on the kitchen table.
Of course none of the successful people achieve their goals through imagination alone; picturing an end result only broadens and deepens the range of targets that your automatic success mechanism can shoot for.
It's still up to you to do the work.
Release the power of your imagination, visualizing positive results can point your subconscious mind toward these results.
But the opposite is true as well.
Remember, your subconscious mind can't take a joke. To your subconscious mind a destructive image can be as equally valid as a creative one.
"Creative imagination is not something reserved for the poets, the philosophers and the inventors. Imagination sets the goal and the picture which our automatic success mechanism works on. We act or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination." - Dr. Maxwell Maltz.
Use your imagination, be creative. The rest will work itself out.
Until next time, put everything you have into everything you do.
Best of Success,
