Imagination part 4

If the wind of fortunes happen to be temporarily blowing against you, remember that you can harness them and make them carry you toward your definite purpose through  the use of your imagination. A kite rises against the wind not with it!

If your imagination leads you to understand how quickly people grant your requests when those requests appeal to their self interest, you can have practically anything you go after.

All of use are much alike in many ways.
If you are a salesperson and would like to know what your customer is thinking, study yourself and imagine what you would be thinking if you were in your customers place.

Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of insight that leaves you. A changed person not only changed, but for the better.
-Arthur Gordon

The detective's biggest asset is Imagination. The first question he asks is: What was the motive? if he can find out the motive he can usually find the perpetrator of the crime.

If you want to know what the other person will do, use your imagination. Put yourself in the place of the other and find out what you would have done. That's Imagination.

Every person should be somewhat of a dreamer, Every business needs the dreamer. Every industry and every profession needs them. But the dreamer must also be a doer, or else they must form an alliance with someone who can and does translate dreams into reality.

Imagination and action
Your mind is capable of creating many new and useful combinations of old ideas, but the most important thing it can create is a definite chief aim that will give you what you most desire.

Your definite chief aim can be speedily translated into reality after you have first created it in your imagination. Because it would mean that you know what it is that you want and you have a plan for getting you want.

The battle of the achievement of success is half won when one knows definitely what they want. The battle is all over except for the "shouting" when one knows what is wanted and has made up his or her mind to get it, whatever the price may be.

Your selection of a definite chief aim calls for the use of both imagination and decision! the power of decision grows with its use.

All of us usually make a better fight when our backs are to the wall and we know there is no retreat. We then reach the decision to fight instead of running.

A man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains it's original dimensions

Learning from adversity

 If they knew that every form of defeat, and all failures, bring them the seed of unborn opportunity, they would keep on fighting and win. Success usually is but one short step beyond the point where on quits fighting. Failure is a man made circumstance. It is never real until it has been accepted by man as permanent. Failure is a state of mind; Therefore, it is something an individual can control until he neglects to exercise this privilege. Failure brings a climax in which one has the privilege of clearing his mind of fear and making a new start in another direction. Failure proves conclusively that something is wrong with one's aims or the plans by which the object of these aims is sought. Failure is the dead end of the habit-path one has been following, and when it is reached it forces one to leave that path and take up another, Thereby creating a new rhythm. It gives an individual an opportunity to test himself wherein he may learn how much will power he possesses. Failure als...

THE SUCCESS HABIT

“Success is simple. Do what’ s right, the right way, at the right time.”  —Arnold H. Glasow The choice we face is whether or not we want to form habits that get us what we want from life. If we do, then the Focusing Question is the most powerful success habit we can have. Whenever the outcome absolutely matters, I ask it. I ask it when I wake up and start my day. I ask it when I get to work, and again when I get home. What’s the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary? And when I know the answer, I continue to ask it until I can see the connections and all my dominoes are lined up. Obviously, you can drive yourself nuts analyzing every little aspect of everything you might do. I don’t do that, and you shouldn’t either. Start with the big stuff and see where it takes you. Over time, you’ll develop your own sense of when to use the big picture question and when to use the small-focus question. The Focusing Question is the found...
 All great leaders in every walk of life are highly sexed, but they follow the habit of controlling their sex desires, switching them into a driving force behind their occupation. The person who has self discipline understands the emotion of sex, respects it, and learns to control and transmute it into contructive activities. Q: Just what damage is there in over-indulgence of sex? A: The greatest damage is that it depletes the source of man's greatest driving force, and wastes, without adequate compensation, man's creative energy. Controlled sex supplies the magnetic force that attracts people to one another. It is the most important factor of a pleasing personality. It gives quality to the tone of voice and enables one to convey through the voice any feeling desired. It serves, as nothing else can serve, to give motive power to one's desires. It keeps the nervous system changed with the energy needed to carry on the work of maintaining the body. It sharpens the imagination...
