You begin the process of becoming
unstoppable by dreaming big dreams. Since everything you create in
your world begins with athought, the bigger the dreams you dream, the bigger
the goals you will achieve. All successful men and
women are dreamers. All peak performers are what are called “blue-sky
thinkers.” They continually allow their minds to float freely when
they think about what is
possible for them. They look at the
unlimited blue sky above them as the only limit to everything and
anything that they could possibly be, or have or do.
Successful people continually practice
“back from the future” thinking. They project into the future
several years and imagine what their lives would look like if they
had achieved all of their goals. They look back to the present,
from the mental vantage point of the future, like looking from the top
of a high mountain down to where they are actually standing in the
valley, in the present. They
then look at the path that they would
have to take to get to where they want to be in the future.
By the law of correspondence, whatever
you can clearly see on the inside, you will eventually
experience on the outside.You should therefore visualize your goals with as
much clarity and vividness as possible.
Visualize your goals intensely
and
create within yourself the same feeling that you would have if you
had already achieved your goals. Visualize your goals frequently. Replay a picture of
your goal,
as if you had already realized it, on the
screen of your mind as many times a day as you possibly can.
Visualize your goals for as long as you possibly can, preferably just before
falling asleep each night.
Repeat these exercises of
visualization—vividness, intensity, frequency, and duration—until your goals become
absolutely clear, living, breathing, exciting, clear
pictures in your mind. The more skilled you become at moving from the
dream through the goal to the visualization, the more motivated and
determined you will be. The more clarity you develop, the more
courage and confidence you will have, and the
more unstoppable you will become. The most important part of dreaming big
dreams is for you to define your ideal future vision. It is for you to
think about what you want before you begin to think about what is possible
for
you.You dream big dreams by looking into the future and
imagining that you have no limitations holding you back from achieving anything
you set your mind on.
Detach yourself from your current
situation and allow yourself to dream. Pretend for the moment that you
have all the time and money you need. Imagine that you have all
the connections and contacts,
all the resources and opportunities, all
the education and knowledge, all the skills and experience
that you require to be, have, or do anything that you could dream
of. Imagine your ideal lifestyle. Imagine
your ideal job or income. Imagine where you would like to live and
how you would like to spend each day, each week, each month.
Imagine your ideal family life. Imagine your ideal state of health.
Design your perfect life in every respect.
