"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attraction." - Albert Einstein

Imagination relates to your ability to form pictures and images in your mind. Visualization is a major element of the imaging process.

Everyone has the capability to shape images or pictures of past events and situations or future outcomes in her mind.

We think about our experience or problems and events by seeing images in our mind with sounds and feelings attached to them.

However, the majority of people do not consciously use the power of the imagination to create and invent what does not yet exist.

We usually rely on our memories to live through our present existence. And because of that, we experience the same mundane life with no improvement in any areas. Our life seems to run on an automatic mode.

The mind thinks in pictures, either big, bright colorful ones or small and dim. On top of that you may recognize that there are even music, sounds and voices present.

You may have noticed that you have been able to make a movie out of your images that you run in your brain.

You can create a difference in your world by using your mental faculty consciously and constructively.

You can create what you want in your life, become the person you want to be and move in the right direction by creating them first in your mind.

You can improve your life and have anything you can imagine because all things are first created in the mind.

The mental pictures that you construct have an effect in your external world. Your mind is in fact a visualizing mind.

You can do almost anything in your mind. You have the same brain like that of Einstein and all the other achievers and great performers. But you have not learned how to make full use of your mind.

• Consciously create your mental pictures.

Mentally construct the most vivid, expressive and dramatic pictures of your future outcomes.

Create the images of the possibilities even beyond your present reality. You imagination can be limitless.

You can visualize a situation that has not yet happened.

You can even destroy the pictures and your beliefs that you do not want to keep on seeing or experiencing.

You can picture yourself not having the attitude or the behavior and see a second image of a new and better you after you have changed.

• Emotionalize.

See it, feel it and experience it. Add in the sounds and the sensations. A picture with intense emotions added to it is accepted as real by the nervous system.

Associate pleasant and positive feelings to your pictures.

By visualizing and emotionalizing your desired goal, your mind will move you toward that goal.

• Activate your mind by repetition.

Repeat the thoughts and ideas deliberately. Keep picturing yourself having and doing and successfully achieving your desired outcomes.

You are actually recording your success and forming new memories.

Repetition of the mental pictures is a high leverage mental activity. You will stimulate and mobilize your mind to connect to your body to produce the results.

It is better to spend your energy visualizing your dreams and visions repeatedly and allow them to become your reality.

If you have nothing else left but your mind, that is all you need to start creating a new life.
