Visualization: Attracting Your Dreams and Desires

Visualization is an essential tool for attracting your dreams and desires. To manifest in your outer life, your dreams must first manifest inside your mind.

Visualization is a detailed, sensory mental motion-picture of God's ideas working in you to...

Achieve short-term and long-term goals...

Your vision must be clear enough to build and sustain your belief in its possibility. Direct your imagination toward your achievements with faith and courage.

Create prosperity...

The seeds of abundance are nourished to grow through visualization and gratitude for a prosperous life. See yourself as prosperous to become prosperous.

Expand perspective and possibilities...

Visualization allows you to see a wider perspective and find your way to life's richest blessings scattered across a vast landscape. Mao Tse-Tung (1893-1976) gave a great example when he said, "A frog at the bottom of a well thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view." A wider perspective allows you to extend your grasp further.

Design a compelling future...

A lack of vision places more limitation on your achievements than lack of talent or ability. Great dreams and visions pull you forward. With resolute focus on the outcome, you will develop the necessary skills and means of accomplishment. Your mental blueprint becomes clearer as you move forward.

Build character...

See yourself as you wish to become until the picture is clear in every detail. Grenville Kleiser wrote, "The first thing each morning, and the last thing each night, suggest to yourself specific ideas that you wish to embody in your character and personality. Address such suggestions to yourself, silently or aloud, until they are deeply impressed upon your mind."

What will your most appealing visualization allow you to create? What are the achievements for which you will be remembered? What will your creation make possible for others?

May you envision many bright and beautiful blessings today and always.
