ideas, and insights that it probably contains. Is the glass half full or
is it half empty? It’s up to you.

YOU WILL BELIEVE IT 
WHEN YOU 
SEE
IT
The third part of the five-part process of supercharging your think-
ing is 
visualization
. You already know how powerful this can be in
helping you to achieve your goals. It is only when you learn to use
visualization on every goal and activity that you will truly tap into its
amazing power for good in your life.
As it happens, everyone visualizes, all the time. The difference is
that successful people visualize the things they want, and unsuc-
cessful people visualize the things they don’t want. Prior to every
new experience, a successful person will take a few moments to re-
call and relive a previous successful experience in that area. Unsuc-
cessful people, in contrast, prior to a new experience will recall and
relive a previous failure experience.
In each case, people are creating a predisposition to succeed or
fail. When they visualize, they send a command to their subcon-
scious minds. The subconscious mind then coordinates their words
and actions in the upcoming situation so that they perform consis-
tent with that picture.
