IMAGINATION
Arnold Schwarzenegger (Main Character in TERMINATOR popularly called Commando by Nigerians) was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger, "Now that you've retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next?"
Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently: " I'm going to be the #1 movie star in Hollywood."
The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger's plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound body builder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood's #1 movie star! As at the time, Muscular men had no place in Hollywood.
So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planed making his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said: " I" ll do it the same way I became the #1 body builder in the world. What I did was to create a vision of who I want to be, then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true." Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn't it? But it worked! Schwarzenegger DID become the #1 highest paid movie star in Hollywood!
Psychologists tell us that nothing controls our live more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are. If you don't think you'll see be successful, you won't. You can't be it if you can't see it.
The President and Founder of Believers Love world Nation once asserted: "The extent of your Vision is the boundary of your Blessings." He equally said, 'You can only go as far as you can see in your minds' eye.'
Take it or leave it, "You are today what you saw yesterday, and what you see today is what you'll be tomorrow" - Emmanuel Umukoro.
Nobody ever became something big who had no vision. Late Dr. Myles Munroe confirmed it when he said, "For true visionaries, the imaginary world of their visions is more real to them than the concrete reality around them." Same said The Most smartest scientific mind the world has seen of recent-Dr. Albert Einstein when he wrote, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. " On another occasion he said, " "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."
Counting Imagination and Vision as a tool of Success might sound childish but Many Successful people, in ministry, in science and other fields have found it to be a useful tool.
If you must become something or someone great, then you must first look away from your present small estate and live in the reality of your vision. Don't just read this, spend time to See yourself in the future right now, not later. Be Visionary.
Be Inspired
