Imagination Part 2

At the age of forty, the age at which the average man or woman begins to think they are too old to start anything anything new.

What a mighty power is imagination, the workshop of the soul, which thoughts are woven into railroads and skyscrapers and mills and factories and all manner of material wealth.

Love brings love and hate brings hate.

If  you imagination is the mirror of your soul, then you have a perfect right to stand before that mirror and see yourself as you wish to be. You have the right to see, reflected in that magic mirror, the mansion you intend to own, the factory you intend to manage. Your imagination belongs to you. Use it! The more you use it the more efficiently it will serve you.

Imagination does the impossible
You will often find yourself in situation where you face a problem that offers no obvious solution.

Imagination helps you look at a situation in a novel way and make connection that you've not seen before. These exercises may not present you with million dollar solutions, but they do have the power to stimulate your mind to consider new approaches.

Call a council of advisers : There is a man who imagined himself at a table surrounded by great figures whom he wanted to emulate. The purpose for this imaginary group of leaders is to ask each of them how they would tackle a particular problem.
Seek random Inspiration : Select a book of inspiring words. Open it anywhere and read the first sentence your eyes fall upon.
Turn the world upside down : Make a list of the four or five major components of your problem. Underneath each, write down what the opposite situation would be.
Go away: sometimes focusing your imagination on a problem can be a trap. You need a way to break free of the mental boundaries you have created. The key is to reduce pressure on yourself and allow your mind a freedom that you have not been giving it.

Here lie great piles of loose bricks, lumber, nails, and glass, In its present form it is useless for it is a nuisance and an eyesore. But mix it with the architects imagination and add more skilled labor and it becomes a beautiful mansion.

I know I am here. I know i had nothing to do with my coming, and I shall have but little, if anything, to do with my going. Therefore I will not worry because worries are of no avail.

The greatest and most profitable thing you can do with your imagination is to rearrange old ideas into new combinations.

If you properly use yours imagination, it will help you to convert your failures and mistakes into assets of priceless value. It will lead you to discovery of a truth known only to those who use their imagination: that the greatest reverses and misfortunes of life often open the door to golden opportunities.

You will never know what your capacity is for achievement until you learn how to mix your efforts with imagination.

The products of your hands, minus imagination will yield you but a small return. But those self same hands, when properly guided by Imagination, can be made to earn you all the material wealth you can use.

There are two ways in which you can profit by Imagination. You can develop this faculty in your own mind, or you can ally yourself with those who have already developed it.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

How to Make Good Habits Inevitable and Bad Habits Impossible

Sometimes success is less about making good habits easy and more about making bad habits hard. This is an inversion of the 3rd Law of Behavior Change: make it dif icult. If you find yourself continually struggling to follow through on your plans, then you can take a page from Victor Hugo and make your bad habits more difficult by creating what psychologists call a commitment device. A commitment device is a choice you make in the present that controls your actions in the future. It is a way to lock in future behavior, bind you to good habits, and restrict you from bad ones. When Victor Hugo shut his clothes away so he could focus on writing, he was creating a commitment device. There are many ways to create a commitment device. You can reduce overeating by purchasing food in individual packages rather than in bulk size. You can voluntarily ask to be added to the banned list at casinos and online poker sites to prevent future gambling sprees. I’ve even heard of athletes who have to “mak...
 THE REAL REASON HABITS MATTER the true question is: “Are you becoming the type of person you want to become?” The first step is not what or how, but who. You need to know who you want to be. Otherwise, your quest for change is like a boat without a rudder. And that’s why we are starting here. You have the power to change your beliefs about yourself. Your identity is not set in stone. You have a choice in every moment. You can choose the identity you want to reinforce today with the habits you choose today. Building better habits isn’t about littering your day with life hacks. It’s not about flossing one tooth each night or taking a cold shower each morning or wearing the same outfit each day. It’s not about achieving external measures of success like earning more money, losing weight, or reducing stress. Habits can help you achieve all of these things, but fundamentally they are not about having something. They are about becoming someone. Ultimately, your habits matter because the...
