Another worker applies finish coats of varnish or paint to preserve and bring out beauty of chair design. Finally chair is packaged, put on another truck and shipped to a furniture store where you see it and think, 'That would look great in our living room. Let's get it and have it for this evening.'

You might not have ever imagined all that about your chair. But something similar did happen to make that chair appear in your home. Relax and go back over each step as you see it happen in your mind. In a little while you will see each of machines that you imagine created chair and finally you will see truck that brought chair to your house.

Practice...Practice...Practice Try this exercise for three or four days in a row and see if it doesn't get more real each time you do it. As you do reality of chair becomes something that you can believe in more and more. Just as chair becomes more vibrant and real in your mind. Any other thought can do same. A famous 19th century scientist Nikola Telsa inventor of "telsa coil" that makes your hair stand on end with static electricity, once said he made no invention without first seeing entirety of his experiment in his mind working as he knew it would. Mr. Telsa knew power of using his mind to work out problems he sought to solve. He actively employed his conscious and subconscious mind to solve these problems by seeing them as final solutions before he ever tried to perform any of work for project.

Now that's mental power. But all of us have same capability. All we have to do to make it work is to use our minds regularly and purposefully.

Write and let me know how you are coming along. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

In next segment I'll share secret to focused thought. How to keep our thoughts on track. Until then, don't just sit there....get Started. aa
