You may be familiar with an Olympic swimmer named Michael Phelps who won a total of 23 gold medals in his career and who is widely regarded as one of the greatest swimmers in history.
In a video interview, Phelps discussed how he extensively uses visualization to envision the desired outcome he aims for.
This is a practice I have consistently used and taught others to use in the past 5 decades.
When you visualize something in such a way that it is crystal-clear in your mind’s eye, you increase the probability of it becoming a reality.
This is something I learned when I was in practice many years ago. At the start of each day, I would sit in my reception room before patients arrived and visualize their arrival, including their names, complaints, conditions, and even details about their families.
I would go through the procedure of them coming in, signing in, and going back to the room, visualizing each step.
I found that previewing the day in my mind's eye helped make the day more fluent and even manifested some of the things I envisioned.
I also love to tell the story of a special moment when I was 17, while sitting in meditation at a yoga class in Hawaii, I unexpectedly saw a vision in my mind’s eye of me speaking from a balcony to a million people in a giant square below with iconic buildings from every major city around the world. At that moment I wanted to step foot in every country on earth and share what was in my heart with the world.
Today, I have spoken in 192 countries around the world and in some cases the very iconic buildings I initially envisioned.
I even have a painting in my office that visually portrays my vision – something I look at most every day.
It brings a tear of gratitude to my eye when I see how something I have visualized with such clarity in my mind’s eye for almost 50 years has become a reality, and continues to become a reality with each year.
Another example is when I was 20 and watched a movie featuring the great magician and escape artist Houdini performing at the Palladium in London.
I cut out a picture of the theater and put my face and body into it, envisioning myself performing there.
Over thirty years later, in 2008, I spoke to a completely full house of 2,000 people at the same theater, exactly as I had envisioned.
You may say that 30 years is a little slow in manifesting it, but I kept in in my mind’s eye for 30 years, until it became a reality.
I am certain that your innermost dominant thought becomes your outermost tangible reality, and that your innermost dominant vision becomes your destiny.
It is for this reason that it is wise to regularly audit your thoughts and vision.
Like many people, you may unconsciously be focusing on events that you perceive to be negative and go through life perceiving you are a victim of your history instead of a master of your destiny.
In this case, like many people, you may not be clear on your unique vision, mission and purpose in life.
These challenging events may be what you attract into your life instead of manifesting the extraordinary and masterful life you could be living instead.
As such, I believe it is wise to take the time to write out in detail how you would love your life to be, making sure it is something your life is demonstrating that you’re committed to that aligns with your highest values.
If you write down that you would love to become financially independent while continuing to spend your paycheck on consumable goods that depreciate in value, then this is likely a fantasy and not a true goal.
You may find it valuable to create a pictorial biography of your destiny to help you clarify your vision.
When you can see it so clearly that it is almost as if it has already happened, it tends to feel destined and become part of your internal dialogue. It feels almost impossible not to manifest it.
That’s what Michael Phelps did – he saw in his mind’s eye every stroke and movement leading him to win and prepared for them in advance with foresight.
It’s what I did back when I was in practice, when I visualized the day ahead and prepared for it. And it’s what you can do in your life going forward.
If you don't fill your day with high-priority actions that inspire you, your day fills up with low-priority distractions that don't.
In other words, if you don't fill your mind with a vision about how you would love your life to be, it tends to fill up with all the challenging and distracting obstacles that you don't want it to be.
Injected values from others can also distract you from your clear vision, so it's important to be diligent in creating and maintaining a clear vision for yourself.
It’s one of the key reasons why I present my 2-day Breakthrough Experience program most every week. To help individuals clarify their vision and increase the probability of achieving their destiny.
Part of the program includes compiling a "Love List" of what they would absolutely love to happen in their life so they can gain crystal clear clarity around their objectives and destination in life.
During those 2 days, I also teach a scientific process called the Demartini Method – quality questions to help individuals clear out distractions so they can increase the probability of manifesting their destiny.
In the Breakthrough Experience, I also speak in great detail about VALUES because I firmly believe they are the foundation of all human behavior.
Everyone, including you, has a unique hierarchy of values, almost like the rungs on a ladder. Whatever is highest on that hierarchy is the value that has the highest probability of being achieved. Because this is where you’re focused day in and day out. It’s where your innermost dominant thought is focused.
Living congruently with what you value most - your highest or core values - is the key to mastering your life and feeling the deepest fulfilment in life.
If you set sail as captain of your ship and master of your fate to fulfil your highest value, it is wise to ask yourself, “What are the highest priority actions I can do today to make that possible?”
What then happens is that you increase the probability of achieving it.
However, if you spend your days comparing yourself to other people, putting them on pedestals, injecting their values instead of focusing on your own, fearing the loss of them, not wanting to be rejected by them and therefore sacrificing what's truly important to you to try to fit in with them, you are less likely to stand out as a unique individual with an authentic mission in life.
That's why, in the Breakthrough Experience, I show you how to dissolve the infatuations and resentments which make you subordinate to others or superordinate to others; and stop trying to live in other people's values or try to get others to live in your values, both of which don't work and are futile.
Instead, I show you how to level the playing field and see that whatever you see in others is inside you, so you have equanimity and equity so you can love them and yourself equally.
As a result, you are less likely to be distracted by the comparisons, infatuations, resentments and judgments that result in noise in your brain.
Instead, the signal from your authentic self can get stronger so that the message of your most authentic self or soul can come through.
Your soul is the state of unconditional love you experience when you're not judging others or yourself. In this state of unconditional love, your mission, message and vision is most likely to be revealed. It’s a revelation. You are a prophet of your destiny when you have access to that state.
It’s almost impossible for you not to fulfill your mission when you're clear on it, and when you prioritize it.
It’s for this reason that I speak about values in almost every presentation I give, why I spend so much time during the Breakthrough Experience program helping people determine their values, and why I have made the Value Determination Process available to you on my website.
Your life already demonstrates what is important to you – your hierarchy of values.
When you align your life’s actions with those values, live congruently with them, and prioritize your life accordingly, you build unstoppable momentum in reaching your goals and manifesting your destiny.
It’s also when you are most likely to:
- Magnetize people, places, things, ideas, and events in your life to help you manifest what it is that you’re planning and what you see in your mind's eye.
- Develop your forebrain and executive function. This part of the brain is involved in objectivity, discipline, reliability, concentration and staying focused, having a long-term vision, calming the desire for instant gratification, and having increased space and time horizons.
This part of the brain is also involved in waking up creativity, genius, innovation and unborrowed vision.
- Wake up the natural-born leader in you.
- Transcend and get past any obstacles you perceive to be in the way.
I believe that obstacles are all self-imposed. They're primarily judgments you have on yourself or other people that are occupying space and time in your mind and running you. (As mentioned, I spend quite a bit of time teaching you to dissolve them in the Breakthrough Experience.)
- Experience gratitude, love and appreciation for yourself.
I am certain that there’s no reason why you can't be clear about your vision and manifest your life the way you would love it to be.
The moment you have a no-turning-back attitude towards what it is that you're committed to, inspired from within to do, and prioritizing your life accordingly, that's the day that you're a prophet of your destiny.
To sum up:
Those with a vision flourish while those without a vision perish.
When you visualize something in such a way that it is crystal-clear in your mind’s eye, you increase the probability of it becoming a reality.
Your innermost dominant thought becomes your outermost tangible reality, and your innermost dominant vision becomes your destiny.
It’s for this reason that it is wise to regularly audit your thoughts.
If you don't fill your day with high-priority actions that inspire you, your day fills up with low-priority distractions that don't.
In the Breakthrough Experience program, I speak in great detail about VALUES because I firmly believe they are the foundation of all human behavior.
- Every human being has a set of priorities or values that they live their life by.
- Whatever is highest on their list of values, in other words, what is truly most important and meaningful to them, they'll tend to spontaneously be inspired from within to act on and achieve.
As such, you are wise to ensure that your goals, intentions and objectives you would love to achieve, and your attentions, or what you would love to learn, are aligned and congruent with what you truly value the most.
This is because whatever you value most is where you are most disciplined, reliable and focused. It’s also where you tend to have the most stamina, perseverance, dedication and commitment.
When you align your life with those values, live congruently with them, and prioritize your life accordingly, you build unstoppable momentum in reaching your goals and manifesting your destiny.
What you think about, visualize, internally dialogue with yourself about, feel inspired and grateful for, would love to create in life, and what you act on, SIGNIFICANTLY increases the probability of achieving what it is that you want.
I love witnessing the transformations that people experience through the Breakthrough Experience program, as they become clear about their vision and become manifesters of their desired destiny.
