Mental transformation (training) is an important required part of life, as we experience things, we learn and get smarter. Once familiar with a physical process we become faster and more efficient at doing it. Our mental processes should be similar. Before the house is built, it is conceived in the minds eye of the builder. Things exist in our minds before they manifest in the physical world. Good mental training is critical to achieve the things we desire.

While visualization is important before taking any action, we need to rehearse the event over and over in our minds and see ourselves doing it successfully in our minds before we do it physically. Great golfers do this. They see themselves making the putt, literally. Some of them close their eyes and see the ball go in the hole in their mind. they hit the ball and it goes in.

Don't just think about what you want to do, sometimes you just have to do it and figure it out as you go.

  • I couldn't agree more with you rram2. What more to say, you nailed it right on!

    When we really desire something, our minds will start to focus naturally on achieving "The" dream.

    Taking action should also come naturally. At least for me it does...

    • You mean like taking action should be effortless and natural??

  • This is key to body building and the martial arts and where I learned how important the mind and visualization was. I can relate to what you are saying because I have done it myself... very powerful stuff!
  • Gandhi put it best: "BE the change you want to see in the world."

    But, just as a word to the wise, you better have dreams beyond a mere fat bank account, because the power that supports this (whatever it may be) expects much more from each of us.
  • Thanks a lot for sharing such kind of post.You just Knocked at my mind.It make me thinking.Plz keep posting like such type of post.
  • The toughest concept for me to accept in the past was that our predominant mental picture comes to us.

    If you "Be" the person conditions conform to your being. The outside is entirely influenced by you, and that's why when you visualize properly the inspired action you move into feels effortless. You've tapped into the god-like part of you, and it feels amazing.

    Thanks for sharing your insight on a powerful thread guys.

    • You're right on the money man!

      When something you've visualized manifests, that only means that your visualization was in perfect tune with what I call "The Hidden Intent".

    • You have to have your why, WHY do you want a fat bank account? You are much more likely to get the fat bank account if you become a being of sharing.

      There are only 2 desires in this world.

      1. the desire to receive for the self alone (death)

      2. the desire to receive for the purpose of sharing (life)

      Our lives need to become a conduit if you want a fat bank account, we have to flow. not take in and hoard, Receive - retain - release. we must share so that we can receive bigger and better things and more so we can give more - take a look at Bill Gates.

      When we have a desire to receive for ourselves alone we limit ourselves, and how much we can receive, when we receive and desire to have so we can give and we want to give big we will receive big.

      Why do you think Bill Gates has so much money? DO you see what he has done? He started out giving 20K a year not that many years ago, now look at him he gives away billions.

      If we really want to be rich, we have to be generous.

      The battlefield is in the mind, the picture you carry of yourself with clearness and concern is literally WHAT you ARE.

      often we have dreams of being something else or having a better job, but it all comes down to emotions and the WHY, if the WHY is not strong enough it won't drive us hard enough to reach our goals. But if you want a million dollars to hog to yourself, you are not very likely to get it at ALL. If you want a million dollars so you can help and share and give and enrich others, then you are much more likely to get it. Anyone saw the bill gates, warren buffet, ted turner, givingpledge.org interviews on ABC this month? WOW I love that WB guy. He said he won the ovarian lottery! HAHA! This man has pledged to give away 99% of his money!

      What you dream while you are awake is what really matters, I think it is important to control our thoughts to the point where we have a mental alarm that goes off in our head when we have a stupid thought, allowing us to stop our thinking and step back and try to look at ourselves from outside ourselves and question our thoughts.

      Thoughts are things and I submit they ARE the most important things in the world for they are the THINGS that make and form our world.

      we are the sum and total of all our thoughts up to this point NOW. You are nothing more than: What you think, what you eat and drink, what you breathe, AND what you do! BUT what you do is always preceeded by thought, there can be no action without thought.

      The mind is a serial device and can only think one thought at a time even if you can think 50 thoughts a second they are serial thoughts not parallel. So it is important to make your thoughts the best thoughts, good thoughts bring good things.

  • gekko, the other site: Accessport Store — Welcome is very nice though, visually appealing, I like the black and white. currently, I am developing Home for someone, do you think the black and white nav bars and sub nav bars are too much? I need small fonts until I complete the site.
  • I agree with you but of course we have to dream it first.

    • Second the motion. It all starts in dreaming. Once we have a dream, its just a matter of reaching it and doing necessary actions to be it.
  • Expand your mind, expand your universe.

    It has been proven that the universe is expanding outward at a neverending rate.

    the things that are key: matter is not key, SPACE is
    things external to us are not key, what is internal to us is key.

    The words are not key, the silence between the words are KEY
    groups of words (content), are not key, the form and structure is

    what you see is not KEY, what is key is what you do NOT see.

    focus on the KEY things, put yourself in a quiet place, sit in a comfortable chair and close your eyes and clear your thoughts, this is tricky, stop your mind (it is often full of nonsensical babbling), focus on one thing and put everything else out, then release yourself from it, and let the universe communicate with you, ask questions (silently in your quiet mind), and wait for the answers.
  • I have a dream!
  • the thread title gave me Rocky Horror Picture Show flashbacks

    yikes!!

    • Me too! That's why I clicked on it.
    • Loved that silly cult movie, I had to see that thing twice every weekend at midnight for like a year straight. I still listen to the tunes sometimes

  • Can't let people, fear, and etc. get the best of you. It's easier to start and do something and learn through it rather than worrying about the other factors that stop you from getting start.
  • “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”


    -Albert Einstein-

    One of my favorite quotes about imagination Just imagine things in you mind as clear as possible, and go do them in real world, the results will be outstanding.
    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • This works fantastic for some people (the mental rehearsal). I don't do it as much, as I like taking action and taking things as they come.

    Also, the quote for Albert Einstein above rocks!

    • You are a wise man!

      Thank you for reminding and sharing...
    • I'm on the same page as you Harry. Life just has a way of bringing what you want exactly when you need it...
  • If you don't act on it then it will remain be a dream but if do something what you dream of then there is no reason you don't succeed.
  • This mental focus and intense visualization can be difficult for many to accomplish on a sustained basis. One sure way to improve this is through meditation, it helps you greatly with the control of your mind and your thoughts.
  • I totally agree with you!
  • That's exactly right rrram2 well said, everything kickstarts from the head and then onto the material world, you know it's interesting, not even the smartest scientist can tell us where our thoughts come from
    • [1] reply
    • I am certainly not a scientist, but I can tell you where all your thoughts come from...thats an easy one. Controlling your thoughts is much more difficult than knowing and understanding where they come from, KEY is controlling them not knowing their origin, knowing their origin may help you more easily control them though.

  • Good share. After all, "Success doesn't come to you, you have to reach out for success"
  • i dont agree but have a different opinion that if we dont have the dream how can we achieve .
    just think ! you dont know what you want to buy, and you are going to market isnt it foolish ?
  • The KEY on being, is that if you are manifesting your ideal you in the physical plane. You have to be it in your mind. This is how you be it. And then just act accordingly in the physical plane so you can be congruent with your mind.

    • This reminds me.. I should take out my Tony Robbins tapes again. Its been awhile.
  • Dreaming is essencial to accomplish outstanding results in a particular area. However some people just maintain dreamers through their whole life. Dreaming should inspire to action, and not be a replacement of action.
  • Interesting post. My uncle always encouraged me to "See it, believe it, achieve it" which was a huge help to me.

  • Make our dreams come true. By obtaining it, you must do it.
  • Thanks for inspiring words. Help a lot.
  • Action is more important than just dreaming about it. Do something and give your best for you to achieve your goals and dreams.
  • I think action is the way to go. I still like to dream sometime
  • Agree!! We can only achieve our dreams if we stop dreaming and take it into action instead.
  • thanks for the share
  • stop dreaming and start doing! take the lead ..
  • That is the thing; here you cannot help yourself a lot, you have to do it.
  • Beautiful and true.
  • Good advice.
    ( By the way there is a lot of joy in dreaming as well )
  • 1. Dream it. (Idea conception)

    2. Believe it. (Familiarity and purpose through visualization)

    3. Plan it. (A strategy to follow)

    4. Act on it. (Don't fall into paralysis by analysis mode. Once you have a plan, act! Not acting on your own plans is the surest way to lose confidence)

    5. Learn from it

    Follow this and you will never fail. Step 5 ensures it
