Visualization
is the most important foundation of success. You first
have to figure out what it is that you truly want – love,
respect, wealth, etc.
Second,
you have to believe that these things are already yours.
See yourself as having that loving relationship. Visualize
yourself being respected and admired by your peers.
Know that you are bringing home a million dollars a
year.
Third,
you must create a plan to bring these things into your
life – one action step at a time.
Wanting,
desiring, wishing – these are all important parts of
achieving your dreams. But participating in the realization
of your dreams by taking action says, "Hey, I believe
that I want is possible – so now I'm moving forward
to get it!" You are showing that you have decided
what you want and deserve, and that you have identified
the action steps necessary in attaining your dreams
and desires.
In
the beginning, taking action may seem a little scary.
You'll probably feel butterflies in your stomach when
you take that first step. You may even think the fear
will stop you, at some point. But think of how you would
feel if you never tried. If that doesn't convince you,
close your eyes and imagine the overwhelming joy of
seeing your dreams realized! There you are – in your
new home, or your fulfilling relationship, or getting
that promotion!
Don't
be surprised when fear shows up before you take action.
Greet it with a smile and say, "Hello, I figured you'd
probably be showing up." Then turn your back to it and
take that step anyway. You will be rewarded for your
decisive action.
"Action
eradicates fear. No matter what you fear, positive,
self-affirming action can diminish or completely cancel
that which you are fearful of."
