The secret power of positive thinkers is their faith. And this faith is the power of God working through their imagination. A sparked imagination is a sacred channel through which God performs his great projects.
How can you make your imagination work for you?
1. Pick a goal.
Positive thinkers are people who believe in setting goals for personal achievement. Almost, at first inception, these goals, are unrealistic. But the positive thinker inuitively knows that nothing is impossible until he stops setting goals.
Make up your mind that goal setting is absolutely necessary. Goals give meaning to living. Goals are necessary to motivate you. They are essential to really keep you alive. "Not having a goal is more to be feared than not reaching a goal."
2. Imagine a variety of possible ways to reach your goal.
You should have at least three or more possible ways to reach your goal before you plunge. Whatever your goal may be, draft a possibility list of ways in which you could concievably reach your desired objective.
3. Get fear out of your imagination.
Don't let fear push you down. It is amazing how fear will creep in as you begin to imagine yourself moving forward in an enterprise. Once you have created a noble goal in your mind you must discipline your thinking, prohibiting that fear from making his entrance into you imagination. It is amazing what fears can rise and none rises more quickly than the fear of failure. Think: " I would rather attempt to do something great and fail than attempt to do nothing and succeed !"
If you are tempted to fear that you might not make your goals, remember this: "Not failure but low aim is a crime."
Fear nothing more than fear itself.
4. Imagine yourself getting started.
The hardest part of any job is getting started. It requires very little to begin something big. The first sale is always the hardest. The odds are great that if you will begin, you will achieve. For, positive ideas are immortal. Even if your dream seems impossible, begin!
Begin by writing your idea on paper. Sketch an impression of what you hope to build or the name of the business you hope to launch.
5. Imagine goals beyond your goals.
The positive thinker holds goals beyond his goals in the back of his imagination. He realizes that he must never be caught in a position where he "arrives" and "weeps" because he has no more worlds to conquer. Challenge and achievement are the very ebb and flow of the tide of life. Without challenge and achievement we are living as dead men. When you catch up with your goals you are in trouble.
What are you hunting for? A job? An education? A marriage? A business? Whatever it is, you will never succeed at anything until you turn your imagination loose and imagine success at it. There are opportunities all around you!
Imagination is the power of the universe.
