POSITIVE BUTTERFLIES FOR A POSITIVE LIFE

Caterpillars, cocoons, and butterflies teach me about life.  Too many people are caterpillars, munching their way through life in a never changing existence.  They think that they are supposed to be caterpillars for their whole life.  Another group goes through the caterpillar stage into the cocoon stage and remains there forever.  They slip into an unconscious state and sleep away their remaining days.  A few people wake up, break out of the cocoon, and emerge as butterflies.  Their life is full of brilliant colors and they soar on the updrafts of God's love after they spread their wings and fly.  What's it going to be for you?  Caterpillar, cocoon, or butterfly?

 
VISUALIZATION - LOOKING WITH YOUR MIND

Sometimes you look with your eyes, and at other times you look with your mind.

Visualization is looking with your mind.

We know that what we look at expands into our lives.  If we are smart, we advertise our dreams to ourselves by displaying their pictures where we can constantly see them.  The more we look at them, the stronger the dreams become, and the more influence they have on our destiny.

Sometimes, it's impossible to create and display a picture of your dreams because an image doesn't exist.   That's where visualization comes in.  It lets you see things in your mind's eye that you can't see with your physical eyes.  Looking with your mind's eye - visualization - has nearly the same power as looking at an actual photograph.  For all practical purposes, your brain doesn't distinguish between an image that you see with your eyes from one that you visualize in your mind.

I put a picture of Bora Bora on my wall more than ten years before I actually arrived there on my yacht.  But if I didn't have a picture, I could have achieved the same result by visualizing Bora Bora in my mind.  It didn't matter whether I saw the image on my wall or visualized it in my mind; the net results were the same.  I had Bora Bora on my mind, and I was willing to move heaven and earth to get there.

Visualization has great power for both good and evil.  Unfortunately, not everyone uses it to visualize good.  They visualize bad health, poverty, and depression, and like night follows day, problems expand into their life.

Each day when I wake up, I visualize my future.  In my mind, I see myself doing dozens of things that move me in the direction of my dreams.  I visualize the path to my dreams so that when I walk down that path, it will be a trip through familiar territory.

When you visualize your future, don't forget that God has a dream for your life that is better than anything you can imagine.  If you get in agreement with God and visualize his master plan, your life will become an awesome adventure.
