Today I’m going to talk about Success Principle #11 which is one of the 64 principles we use as Jack Canfield Trainers.
It’s called “See what you want, get what you see” and unlocks the power of visualisation.
Imagination, according to the genius Albert Einstein, is the key to life's coming attractions. So, let's explore how you can harness the incredible power of visualization to supercharge your path to success. ??
?? Visualization Activates Your Subconscious Mind
When you vividly picture your goals, your subconscious mind awakens its creative forces. Your brain can't distinguish between visualizing and real-life action. This process applies not only to your achievements but also to learning new things.
?? Visualization Enhances Performance
Harvard University researchers found that students who visualized their tasks performed with almost 100% accuracy, while those who didn't, achieved only 55%. This isn't just a theory; it's a proven method used by athletes and successful individuals worldwide.
?? The Process of Visualization
The process is straightforward: close your eyes and see your goals as already accomplished. If you aspire to own a dream house, imagine every detail, from the exterior to the interior, the furniture, and the view. Make these mental images as vivid as possible.
?? Add Sounds and Feelings to Your Pictures
Multiply the effectiveness of your visualization by involving all your senses. Hear the sounds, smell the scents, taste the flavours, and, most importantly, feel the emotions associated with your success. Emotions are the driving force behind making your vision a reality.
?? Fuel Your Images with Emotion
Intense emotions lock images in your memory. Use these emotions to supercharge your vision. Play inspiring music, shout your affirmations with enthusiasm, and add real-life sensations to your mental pictures. The more passion you invest, the more powerful the result.
?? Visualization Works
The power of visualization has proven results. Olympic athletes like Peter Vidmar used it to achieve their goals. By repeatedly visualizing success, they prepared their minds for the real deal. You can do the same.

??? Use Printed Pictures to Help You
If you find it challenging to visualize, use physical pictures, images, and symbols. Create a vision board or treasure map by assembling these images. This will keep your conscious and subconscious mind focused on your goals.
?? Vision Boards and Goal Books Made Dreams Come True
Many successful people, such as John Assaraf and Caryl Kristensen, created vision boards or goal books to manifest their desires. They cut out pictures and wrote affirmations, and almost everything they envisioned became a reality. I’ve found exactly the same.
??? Start Now
Don't wait; start visualizing your goals as already complete for at least 10 to 15 minutes each day. Psychologists even claim that one hour of visualization can be as effective as seven hours of physical effort. Imagine what a daily "Hour of Power" could do for your life!
Visualization is your ticket to transforming your dreams into reality. Embrace this powerful success principle and watch your life change.
?? Visualization Works: A Proven Method
The effectiveness of visualization isn't just a concept—it's a well-documented reality. To reinforce this, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of students in schools, colleges, and universities. Through these experiences, I've witnessed the transformative power of visualization in action.
So, if you're still skeptical or hesitant, I encourage you to give it a try. Why not embark on your own visualization journey? The potential benefits are immense, and the only way to truly appreciate them is by experiencing it for yourself.
Two things you can do today:
To your future potential.

1 年My whole life is about visualization. I have to picture things before I can move in any direction. Then I can change that picture according to what I want to happen. The greatest tool in my lifebox.
