Success is
development of power to get whatever one wants in life without interfering with
the rights of others. In an age of tough competitions success can come through
the use of such power only. Power is an organized energy or effort. It’s an
ability to organize knowledge and the faculties of mind. We call it HUMAN
SOFTWARE. Human mind can be compared with a computer, which cannot run a
programme without software. The thinking process and the life experiences are
what make our memory, which works like a human software.
Our
experiences are not what happened to us but what we did with what happened to
us. In other words our experiences are our responses to stimuli created by
events of our life. Our responses to forthcoming events are based on past
experiences in similar situations. Our thinking pattern plays the most crucial
role in creating our memory and influencing our attitude. In fact, thinking
creates memory and memory creates attitude which ultimately decides success or
altitude of life. In fact, thinking is the process of creating human memory.
All that we are is the result of what have been thought so far. Every word we
think is creating our life. Our very life is our thinking and the result of our
thinking process. The secret of success lies not without but within the
thoughts of man.
Thoughts make weak men strong and strong men weak. Whatever
all we do eating, wearing clothes, driving, playing, are preceded by
thoughts. The very way we walk, the way we carry ourselves, our talk, our
manner of dress, all reflect our way of thinking. What we exhibit outwardly, we
are inwardly. We are the product of our own thought. Whatever we believe
ourselves to be, we are.
Thoughts are
the original source of all wealth, all successes, all material gains, all great
discoveries and inventions and of all achievements. Our thoughts, those
predominate, determine our character, our career, indeed our everyday life.
Thoughts are
the guiding force behind all the actions. And our actions inadvertently lead us
to success or failure. It is rightly said, “Thoughts make or break a man. It
is also believed by great religious leaders that the universe is created by
thought of universal mind. This universal mind is the super highway of
information linking all the human minds together. That is why we react to
thoughts of each other even when not physically in touch. They call it
intuition or sixth sense. We are molded greatly by others through newspapers,
movies, radio and some thoughts generated through casual encounters. We are
constantly bombarded by varying degree of thoughts all the time. And some of
them may tune with our inner voice and can lead to greater visions. You all
might have heard a popular advertisement saying, “An IDEA can change your
life.” The perception of some great scientists changed the course of
humanity by channelizing common events into some great theories. The falling of
an apple could be an easy availability of food but a powered brain of Newton
took it as doors opening to great theories in Physics.
Mind is the
source of all power and success is the product of creative thinking and firm
belief in our ability to execute the ideas. Like attracts like is true when it
comes to mental interactions. And we start getting help from our surroundings.
Our mind sends silent signals that have magnetic influence. Positive frame of
mind only invites desired results as thought creates after its kind and
attracts upon which it is directed. For the thing which we greatly fear, that
comes upon us. Our fear thoughts are just as creative and as magnetic in
attracting troubles to us as are the constructive and positive thoughts in
attracting positive results. Hence our thoughts should be directed on success
and not on failure.
Visualization
of positive outcome of our efforts gives a great power to our mind to succeed.
This is a technique to deliberately foresee our success time and again in a
relaxed state of mind. It activates creative power of subconscious mind and
also focuses our mind towards our goal by programming its Reticular Activating
System [RAS]. RAS is like RADAR for us which can send positive signals to
others and can receive positive powers from others. In other words it
magnetizes and attracts to us the people, resources and opportunities we need
to achieve our goal. These people and resources might have existed earlier also
but as our RAS was not activated we could not recognize them. If we keep
visualizing happiness at destination point we will get strength and inspiration
to face all odds of journey, rather we will enjoy our entire journey. Einstein
says, “Imagination is everything. It is the purview of life’s coming
attraction.” All discoveries and inventions have been preceded by imagination.
The famous martial art champion and Hollywood film star, Bruce Lee, while
struggling to establish himself as an actor in Hollywood, once wrote a letter
to himself predicting that he would become superstar in coming ten years. He
took this statement written by himself as a message from heaven, read it again and
again every day and kept visualizing the glories and happiness attached with
him as a superstar. This practice activated his RAS and being fully inspired he
gave his best in acting to become a superstar in just two years with the
release of his famous film ‘Enter the dragon’. Today in Olympics almost in
every game players are advised and also trained to use this visualization
technique. Visualization, in fact, keeps us focused towards our main goal and
also keeps us fully inspired and confident to pursue it.
Visualization
has a power to transform our desire into will. And, desire is to obtain while
will is a power to achieve. Therefore, we should navigate our mind with right
thinking and through visualization technique we should reprogram our
subconscious mind to power it up for spontaneous move towards our goal.
