V is for Visualization
Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary
people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by
visualizing
the impossible, they
begin to see it as possible.
—CHERIE CARTER-SCOTT
See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.

isualization, also known as
creative visualization or
mental
rehearsal, refers to the practice of seeking to generate positive results
in your outer world by using your imagination
to create mental
pictures of specific behaviors and outcomes occurring in your life.
Frequently used by athletes to enhance their performance,
visualization is the process of imagining exactly what you want to
achieve or attain, and then mentally rehearsing what you’ll need to do
to achieve or attain it.
Many highly successful individuals,
including celebrities, have
advocated the use of visualization, claiming that it’s played a
significant role in their success. Such stars include Bill Gates, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Anthony Robbins,
Tiger Woods, Will Smith, Jim
Carey, and yet again, the one and only, Oprah. (Hmm… could there
be a link between Oprah being one of the successful women in the
world, and the fact
that she practices most, if not
all six of the
Life
S.A.V.E.R.S.?)
Tiger Woods, arguably the greatest golfer of all time, is famous
for using visualization to mentally rehearse perfectly execution of his
golf swing on every hole. Another
world champion golfer, Jack
Nicklaus, has said: “I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without
having a very sharp in-focus picture of it in my head.”
Will Smith stated that he used visualization to overcome
challenges, and visualized his success years before actually becoming
successful. Another famous example
is actor Jim Carrey, who wrote
himself a check in 1987 in the amount of 10 million dollars. He dated
it for “Thanksgiving 1995” and added in the memo line, “For acting
services rendered.” He then visualized it for years, and in 1994 he
was paid 10 million dollars
for his starring role in Dumb and Dumber.
