Enough already, what has this got to do with me?

Well if you haven't worked it out yet, it's all about having some direction in your life. You've got to have something to aim for right? Without direction you'll just be running in circles, or back and forth like our little squirrel friend. You simply must have some direction if you want to move your life forward, get it?

OK clever whatsit, how do I create direction?

The easiest way is by setting yourself some goals. I won't go into detail here about finer points of goal setting, that's for another article. I just want you to make decision to set yourself at least one. Make sure it's achievable, write it down, read and visualise it regularly using all of your senses so it becomes real to you.

Believe me, setting goals works! All successful people have been setting goals for themselves for years. So if you want to emulate them and achieve success for yourself, in whatever sphere, you must set yourself some goals.

So how d'you square up?

Are you a squirrel who has no direction in life, or are you a hedgehog who gets his head down and goes for it?

Be successful!

If you're wondering if it's worth effort, I'd like to give you an example of how powerful visualization is.

When Ali was preparing for his fight against Foreman, "experts" gave him little chance of winning.

Foreman was younger, bigger, stronger and hit like a mule.

So what did Ali do?

He went to his training camp and avoided reading all negative stories about his impending defeat.

He not only began physically training for fight, he began mentally rehearsing his reactions to being hit by Foreman.

Ali knew that there was a possibility of being knocked unconscious during fight, but how would he handle it?

He began mentally training his body to wrap his arms around Foreman and clinch as soon as he felt himself begin to lose consciousness.

The night of fight his mental training paid off.

In Ali's own words he admitted there were times in that fight when he was literally out on his feet.

The only thing that saved him from defeat was his visualization exercises.

Each time he was hit hard enough to be knocked unconscious, his body took over and held onto Foreman long enough for Ali to regain his senses.

That night history was made.

All because of power of Visualization.

Are you ready to make history?
