When working with the law of attraction, or toward success in anything we do, we first need to realize the power that our mind has in creating that success. Our ability to see our success in our minds eye is the first step toward actually accomplishing that success. The ability to visualize in your head and see yourself doing what it is you want to do or having what it is you want to have is a valuable skill and asset to have on your side. Take the time to practice visualizing and get good at it. This one skill alone pays dividends in return.

There was a study done a number of years ago with a high school basketball team that is note worthy. The basketball coach at the time split the team in half and worked with each half of the team seperately. One half of the team practiced throwing free throws over and over again. The other half of the team did nothing but visualized themselves throwing free throws. Both sides practiced their jump. Both halves practiced using their wrists properly to make a good free throw. Both sides practiced their aim and accuracy when it comes to making it in the basket. The only difference was that one half did it physically and the other half of the team did it all in their minds eye.

What were the results? The results were astounding. The half that did nothing but visualize did just as well as the half that physically practiced. Some of the players who visualized actually did even better. This is a powerful testiment of how powerful our minds can be. Of how important learning to visualize can be and how valuable such an exercise is. The most beautiful part of this is that you always have your mind with you. Everyone can find five minutes here and there through out their day to visualize everything they want in their lives.

Be careful though. Some people reading this will think that all they have to do is visualize what they want in their lives or visualize being a star athlete and their dreams will be fulfilled. Surely taking the time to visualize will help significantly, however, you have to take action with everything you want. Nothing gets done by simply dreaming about it or hoping for it. Everything takes action. The point of this though is that you must first use your mind to see what it is you want to have, do, or be. Then you must open up to opportunities and possibilities. Then we must take action when the moment presents itself. Nothing comes into the world through action that is not first a vision in someones mind. See it in your mind, then take action to make it a reality.
