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.

 Loss is painful, guilt can be devastating. Worse than losing one's dream is the knowledge that the loss was self-inflicted. Problems are solutions that have outlived their usefulness. Problems are pattern that were learned in emotional circumstances during one period of life and that now have taken an existence of their own. Many times, outdated solutions replay themselves in a variety of life situations, leaving people mindlessly repeating their mistakes in work, love, and trading. There can be no free will for people who are locked into patterns developed for past challenges. Successful traders are therapists both learn to do what comes unnaturally. The resolution to problems can be found in what people are doing when those problems are not occurring. The problem with many traders is not that they have problems, but that they are focused on their problems. It is this problem focus that prevents them from appreciating what they are doing right, that blinds them to solutions alrea...

Three Choices

When we are unhappy and our Life Conditions do not match our Blueprint, we have three choices as to how we’re going to handle the challenge: First Choice: Blame The first choice people have is to assign blame, and there are three things you can blame: a) Event . There’s a story, something that happened, behind why things are the way they are. However accurate the story may be, blaming an event is convenient because it helps preserve an identity designed to shield us from our true fears: fear of failure and fear of not being loved or accepted. b) Others . “I’m in this situation because this person …” Similarly, the story may be true, but it’s convenient and gives you comfort in the moment. “There’s nothing wrong with me. It’s this other person. There’s nothing I need to change.”  c) Yourself . Most people think that this is being responsible, but blaming yourself will not make it better. There’s a difference between responsibility and beating yourself up—between “Here’s a pattern th...

Working hard is important, but working hard alone will never make you rich. Rich people can spend their days playing and relaxing because they work smart. They understand and use leverage.

Rich people think long-term. They balance their spending on enjoyment today with investing for freedom tomorrow. Poor people think short-term. They run their lives based on immediate gratifications.
