Bob Proctor, the famous author of Science of Getting Rich, is fond of saying, “Most people are not going after what they want. Even some of the most serious goal seekers and goal setters, are going after what they think they can get.”

Now, this is a very profound thought. Human beings like us perceive things at different levels. Most of us take a cue from what we can see visually. We read that so and so has become rich by working hard and we think, the secret lies in working hard. Some book says one should buy shares to become rich. We go and buy shares and burn our fingers and feel bitter about it for the rest of our lives. What I want to tell these people is that if you do the same things again and again, you get the same results, again and again.

In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill said, “An educated person is not necessarily a person with an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated person is a person who has so developed the faculties of their mind, that they can develop anything or acquires anything that they want, or it’s equivalent, without violating the rights of others.” What we want to do is start to understand these faculties. Perception, the will, reason, imagination, intuition and memory. These are higher faculties. So, through imagination we want to build a picture of what we want.

Now, when you build a picture, make it really big. Nothing like you has ever seen before. Let your imagination fly. And leave the baggage of your past behind and focus on the future. What will happen if you only look in the rear view mirror when you drive? I am sure you would crash in no time. But we keep looking into the rear view mirror while driving through our lives! No doubt we crash out fast and furious.

Forget the past. Put it behind you. Create a truly big picture of your future life. Don’t hold yourself back. Use all your higher faculties. Imagination, intuition. Give them a free play. Give your thoughts a free rein. And then watch the fun.

Stumble It!
