Some might call it “the power of positive thinking,” or “mental visualization,” but here we are going to call it simply DECISION. To get what you want, create a picture of it in your mind, and make it as real as you possibly can. Focus on the color, feel, weight, size—any detail you can include to make the image more realistic will be beneficial. Create it just like an artist. Keep that mental picture of your creation and keep creating it, keep doing it. You should always be changing and improving the picture, making it even more real. Everyone’s mental images of what they want will be different, and that is why it is so important to give your mental image detail and specificity. Even people who want the same thing will have differing images. A woman wanting to get into shape might create the mental image of herself walking into a dinner party in a form-fitting little black dress. A man with the same goal of getting in shape might picture himself throwing a Frisbee with his buddies on the beach, showing off his toned physique. You have to personalize your mental picture—make it your own. The most important aspect of POSITIVE DECISION is repetition. You can’t just think about what you want once and be done with it. Do it over and over and over again, day in and day out. Picture your goal as often as you can. The more you visualize what you want, the closer you will move to that picture. The more the image is present, the more real it becomes. You literally think it into existence.
