“See yourself in your imagination taking positive, intelligent action toward solving a problem or reaching a goal. See yourself reacting to threats, not by running away or evading them, but by meeting them, dealing with them, grappling with them in an aggressive and intelligent manner.” – Maxwell Maltz, M.D. – Psycho-Cybernetics; Updated and Expanded
As you read this passage, the key words to focus on are “see yourself… taking action.” This is what successful people are doing in greater and greater numbers than ever before.
Some think they don’t “see” themselves taking action before doing something (even though it’s not possible), and they scoff at the idea that there is great power in your imagination or that it is a God- given faculty that all of us have.
You should do nothing to convince those who don’t want to discover the truth for themselves. Leave them alone and focus on doing what you are learning in this book and the other programs I have available on the psycho-cybernetics.com website.
Do more than see yourself accomplishing a goal. See yourself doing what you need to do to make your goal become a reality. This is fundamental yet often missed.
You can picture yourself achieving an objective, and this alone will get you going. But if you’re not able to gain traction to move yourself toward a goal, if you are resisting taking action, then begin at once to see yourself taking action.
Before you fall asleep in the evening, see yourself taking care of objective number one. As you see yourself acting, mentally say to yourself, “I am going to do (fill in the blank) tomorrow.”
These words, “I am going to . . . ,” when stated to yourself along with the picturing of yourself acting, are the keys that toss resistance out the window.
When you get up in the morning, picture yourself again while using the same type of self-talk. Repeat your statement as a command, with enthusiasm, then observe what happens in your world. I believe you are going to be stunned at how easy and effective this method truly is. Are you willing to give it a go?
