Once God held a function to honour and award his office-bearers and angels. He said: In the next five minutes imagine in your minds the things you want to get, the powers you want to have and the traits you want to develop. You will be showered with all of them with my blessings. Immediately all of them closed their eyes and floated in the world of imagination freely and passionately. Their ecstasy of recreating themselves according to their wishes knew no bounds. What they thought they became and they got.
You will be very happy to know that Power of your mind can do the same miracle to change your life. God has also fitted the mind of the man with magical powers. You just need to learn how to use it with determination, diligence and persistence.
FOCUS ON THE RIGHT THINGS
Every prominent psychologist of the world has said that you get in life what you think or focus on . William James, father of American psychology, said: ‘The greatest discovery of the 19th century was not in the realm of the physical sciences, but the power of the subconscious mind touched by faith. Any individual can tap into an eternal reservoir of power that will enable them to overcome any problem that may arise. All weaknesses can be overcome, bodily healing, financial independence, spiritual awakening, prosperity beyond your wildest dreams. This is the superstructure of happiness’.
What we attract in our life is in direct proportion to our thought pattern. What we think daily about our body, relations, work, business, money, materialistic things God showers on us. So many people pray to God to get certain things in life and wishes of many people are fulfilled. It is not a miracle but a scientific law. By praying to God daily we try to focus our energies towards an aim, and immediately law of attraction starts working.
Name any successful person in any field – Bill Gates, Dhirubhai Ambani (great Indian industrialist), John D. Rockefeller, Abraham Lincoln, George Bush, , Akio Morita (the man who built Sony), Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Ravindra Nath Tagore, Tolstoy, Lenin, Mao-tse-tung, Mohammed Ali (the greatest boxer), Sachin Tendulkar, Richard Branson (rags to riches business tycoon of UK), Azim Premji (richest man in India)– the list is endless – everybody intentionally or unintentionally used the same formula for success and achievement.
OUR MIND INFLUENCES OUR PERFORMANCE
In one study, Australian psychologist Allen Richardson conducted an experiment with basketball players, dividing them into three groups A, B and C. He advised group A to practise free throws on a basketball court for 20 minutes a day. He advised group B not to practise at all. And group C was advised to mentally rehearse these throws for 20 minutes each day. At the end of the study group A improved their free throw ability by 25%. Group B, as expected, showed no improvement at all. Astonishingly group C improved by 24% (almost as much as Group A) although they had not even entered the basketball court. This experiment proved astonishing power of our mind on our performance.
This rule of the nature is both blessing and curse for human beings. It not only makes but mars many a career. You can compare it to the power of fire. Either convert it into a high-powered energy or destroy everything with it. If all sorts of negatives come in your mind you can never achieve anything worthy in your life. Law of attraction will start pulling negative things in your life. Therefore it is necessary to work intentionally to reformulate and recharge your thinking pattern. Redefine your vision about your future. Reset your priorities in life. Make yourself a positive thinker.
THE STORY OF TWO FROGS
The story of two frogs will further explain the theory of positive psychology very effectively. Once two frogs fell into a big bucket filled with milk. To jump out of the basket was impossible. One frog was a negative thinker. He thought that it was the end of life. He would die soon. According to his negative vision he made his grave in the milk bucket. The other was a positive thinker. He decided to try his best to come out of the terrible mess. He continued swimming and knocking the basket. He became very tired but he didn’t lose hope. He thought he would find a way out soon. He had a positive vision. His goal was to go out of the basket and join the stream of fun-filled life again. He was determined and tried again and again. His positive thinking pattern and persistence was rewarded soon. His efforts stirred the milk for a long time and a ball of butter was formed in the milk. He rode that ball and jumped out of the basket.
SET A GOAL AND PICTURISE
So you get in life what you want or visualise. You have the choice. To recreate yourself like angels of God you have to adopt this three-pronged strategy: 1. Define your goals clearly, 2. Use autosuggestion, 3. Picturise your goals. Here is a very simple method to use this strategy.
1. DETERMINING GOALS: Take a few days to decide what you want to do in your life. Write your goals (two or three major goals only. If you can focus on one goal at a time it is better) on a paper and read this paper often. As soon as you write your goals you enter the top 5% section of the people. 95% people don’t know what their aims are so your success chances for a better life immediately increase.
2. AUTOSUGGESTION: We also call it affirmation. Dose of daily affirmations keeps your mind positive and hopeful. You become focused and attract the same in your life. To become successful in life repeat this affirmation ten times in the morning and ten times before going to bed: ‘God has sent me in this world to become successful. I am achieving my goal’.
3. PICTURISATION: While repeating your affirmation see yourself in imagination becoming successful, achieving your goal.
