IMAGINE YOUR IDEAL OUTCOME
One way to unlock the energy and power contained in your emo-
tional nature is for you to get the feeling that you would enjoy if you
had already achieved your goal. See it in your mind’s eye and create
within you the emotions you would experience if your dream came
true this very minute.
Imagine, for example, that your goal is to earn a certain amount
of money. Project mentally into the future and see yourself earning
this kind of money.
See
the larger house, the bigger car, the better
clothes, the nicer restaurants, and the more elegant lifestyle that you
will enjoy when you are earning this amount of money. Imagine
how you would feel if you were already enjoying all these ingredi-
ents of success. Imagine the feelings of pride, happiness, satisfac-
tion, pleasure, joy, and gratitude that you would experience once
you achieved this goal.
Just like a person soaking in a hot bath, soak your mind in these
feelings, exactly as if you were already at your destination. These
emotions will then trigger thoughts, desires, and actions consistent
with them. Each will reinforce the other.
