A few months back, upon maa's insistence, i read "The Secret" by Rhona Byrne. And i also committed a grave mistake of watching one of the most 'ugliest' movies of the year- Om Shanti Om. But one thing that struck me is that, both the book and this movie have a common msg and that is, the power of believing in your dreams.
"... Woh kehte hain na.. Tum agar kisi cheej ko sachhe dil se chaho, toh puri kaynat tumhe usse milane mein jut jati hai ! "
Below is one of the articles i had wriiten for a client, a year back, on the same... happy reading ...
The Power of Visualization
“I am thought. I can see what the eyes cannot see. I can hear what the ears cannot hear. I can feel what the heart cannot feel.”
- Peter Nivio Zarlenga, American Businessman.
That how powerful visualisation can be! It goes beyond any chains of fear or any other limits. Visualising is daydreaming but with a purpose. It is a form of testing how far you can go in achieving your goals. There is this uncanny grandeur in knowing that in the realm of thought - you are without a chain, that you have the right to explore all heights and depth, that there are no walls nor fences, nor prohibited places, nor sacred corners in all the vast expanse of thought!
Imagine what the great achievers like scientists, athletes, etc would have done if they had not visualised there victory or if they had not believed in their dreams and worked towards them. There would have been no great achievement, no discovery, no uniqueness that would have come to light if these people had not visualised. The power of visualisation is what gave them faith and courage in moving ahead to make such humongous achievements and thus becoming legends. History has proved time and again that all the peak performers mentally go through the important events or tasks even before they happen.
It is said that ideas cross mountains, borders, and seas. They go anywhere a man may not go. With visualisation, your mind starts formulating ways to get closer to your goal. Visualisation gives us the zeal and patience to reach the podium of victory.
Imagine an ideal life for yourself; who would not then strive to paint such an ideal life in reality too? Get yourself accustomed to visualising your aim. Mould your mind in believing that you can do better with each day and with each try as what you actually get is just what you see. Instead of being preoccupied with worry and concerns, daydream and visualise with an unwavering faith that whatever you dream of will come true. Visualisation is what will give you strength in crossing all the hurdles in your path towards your goal, it will give you the energy to withstand any negative forces, it will give you the enthusiasm to get what you truly want and deserve.
So, do not waste time worrying about failures or problems; just visualise yourself confronting your fears in your mind's eye and handling those fears like a winner in the pursuit of attaining your desires, your dreams, your fantasies!
