What are the three ways to ultimate success with mind power_ (1).pdfDebasishChatterjee24
Mind Power is directing your thoughts towards a desired outcome. Focus on success and you attract success. Focus on fear and failure and you attract failure. Mind Power is understanding these principles and making our thoughts work for us. Your thoughts are the primary creative forces in your life.
Mind power is one of the strongest and most useful powers you possess. This power consists of your thoughts. The thoughts that pass through your mind are responsible for everything that happens in your life.
What are the three ways to ultimate success with mind power_.pdfOnlinegoalandstrategy
Don’t forget the preparation
Never ever think of giving up. Winners never quit and quitters never win. Take all negative words out of your mental dictionary and focus on the solutions with utmost conviction and patience. The battle is never lost until you’ve abandon your vision.
But what if you’re really exhausted physically, mentally, and most of all emotionally? Here are some sources of motivation to prompt you in reaching the peak of accomplishment.
Hard work
Success needs hard work. Don’t listen to these ‘get rich quick’ schemes. You need to build your character and work hard on yourself and your business to achieve greatness. Work hard and work smart. Do the right things and do them in the right way. Don’t procrastinate. Take bold actions. Work long hours and craft your legacy.
Learning from failure
Successful people do not see failures as failures. They see them as important learning lessons. Lessons that are capable of giving them insights to prevent such mistakes from happening again. By adopting this mindset of turning each failure into a learning lesson or opportunity, you can never fail until you yourself quit.
You should be able to find several indispensable facts about motivation in the following paragraphs. If there’s at least one fact you didn’t know before, imagine the difference it might make. It’s so difficult to go on when everything seems to fail, isn’t it? Are there times in your life when you really want to call it “quits” because you just can’t see any good results from all the hard work you’ve done?

In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Introduction
Our dreamsand goals arewhat give our lives meaning. They give us
purpose and keep us passionate and motivated. Our vision of what
we want to achieve in life gives us the courage and strength to keep
going indifficult timesand fuelsour determinationto succeed inthe
face of adversity.
Surprisingly, our digitally-centered world, while simplifying our life
in many ways, makes it harder to stay focused on our goals. As we
trytokeep pacewith our hectic lifestyleand unending commitments,
we often get sidetracked and lose sight of our vision. We put our
dreams on the back burner or shelve them away in our minds. The
danger is that we get so caught up in the proverbial "rat race", we
risk losing our vision altogether.
This is why a vision board could be just what you need. As the name
implies, it's a tool that helps you keep your goals and visions alive.
This book will explain how a vision board works and why it can be
an amazinglypowerfultool. It will providestep-by-step instructions
on how to create your personal vision board and how to use it.
Our goals and visions are unique to us. Whether your dream is to
createa successful online business, own your own house or become
CEO of your company, a vision board can help. If your vision is to

beautyof a vision board is that it can be customized tofit any vision
or aspiration.
Creating a visionboard iseasy, enjoyableand costsnext to nothing -
but the results can actually transform your life!

Chapter 1: Why a Vision Board
First, let's get familiar with thebasicsand benefitsof a visionboard
and understand why it's such a helpful tool.
What is a vision board?
A vision board isa surface(such asa bulletinboard, magnetic board,
or even a computer desktop) on which you display images of your
future goals and dreams. These can include what you want to be,
what to want to have in your life, and even people related to your
goals who inspire you.
A vision board works to keep you focused on your goals and
aspirationsbylooking at theimagesdailyand visualizing your future
life.
Benefits of using a vision board
• It brings clarity by helping you identify your specific goals.
• It gives your vision tangibility.
• It reinforces your purpose and keeps it strong.
• It relieves stress and anxiety.
5. Page | 4
• It's a powerful daily affirmation that wires your brain to
recognize its importance.
• It gives clarity on your priorities.
• It boosts motivation and productivity.
• It boosts your creativity.
Who can benefit from a vision board?
Absolutely anyone can benefit from a vision board, even children. A
vision board relies on visualization, one of the most powerful tools
available to each and every one of us.
For adults, a vision board can help with career, relationship, and
familygoals. It canhelp with personalhealth andfitnessgoalsaswell
as financialgoals. For children and younger adults, it canbe perfect
for educational goals and personal dreams.
Creating a vision board is a wonderful familyactivitywhereyou can
all get together and createyour personal boards. It's a great creative
activityfor childrenaswellasa great learning experiencewherethey
learn to identify the things that matter to them.
Now, you may be thinking, all of this sounds fun and the benefits
seem great - but does a vision board really work? Read on!
6. Page | 5
Chapter 2: How Vision Boards
Work
The vision board is not a bogus fad but it's understandable that
people may be skeptical. After all, how can looking at a bunch of
pictureslead toanything effectiveor tangible? Visionboardsarefun
to make and use but can they realistically achieve any results? The
answer is an emphatic yes.
The concept behind how vision boardswork is backed by some very
powerful research. Some of these scientific findings give us reasons
to take vision boards very seriously.
On the other hand, proponents of the Law of Attraction present a
plausible theory, although with less conclusive scientific evidence.
Let’s see how vision boards work according to both of these
categories.
7. Page | 6
The science behind vision boards
Visionboards rely on the power of visualizationto rewirethe brain.
Your brain is an amazing organ that loves to be stimulated by
learning and process new information. However, one important
study found that the brain doesn't have the capacity to distinguish
betweena vision of the futureand memory. This is where the magic
of visualization can be harnessed.
Whenyou learn something new, such as how to drive a car or bakea
cake, your brainmakesa new memoryof that activity. Themoreyou
repeat theaction, themore that memorybecomesimprinted inyour
brain. Over time, a new "neural pathway" is formed, which
transforms the memory into a learned behavior or a habit.
But remember, your brain can’t differentiate between the real
physicalexperienceofdoing something andyour imagination. When
you visualizesomething, your brainwillcreatea memoryinthesame
way - and respond to it as if it were real!
If you consistently visualize or contemplate a future idea, it will
become a reality for your brain. Your brain will form a new neural
pathway and begin to create deliberate behaviors that make that
visionmoreattainable. Whenyou begintouseyour visionboard, you
will noticehow your brainwillcomeup with creativeand innovative
ideasfor achieving your vision. You will be amazed at how it will fuel
your passion and drive to live your vision and keep it top of mind.
8. Page | 7
Thisisnot anidea from a sciencefictionnovel. It's backed bya study
done at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. One group of participants
was asked to do scheduled physical workouts while another was
asked to do "visual workouts".
The group that did thephysicalgym workoutsshowed a 30% muscle
increase. The group that worked out in their heads showed an
amazing 13.5% muscle increase! Yes, this is a real study that was
published in Psychology Today.
Just by visualizing that they were working out, the brains of the
second group actually believed that they were doing so physically.
They rewired themselves to give these participants the results of an
actual workout!
Today more than ever, the power of visualization is under serious
investigation. Research has already shown that visualization can
help relieve aches, pains and other ailments but the potential,
especially in healing chronic diseases is mind-boggling.
Thisisexactlyhow a visionboard works. It allows you toharnessthe
power of visualization by reflecting on your goals every day so that
your brain works with you to achieve them.
9. Page | 8
The Law of Attraction
In a nutshell, the law of attraction states that everything in the
universe is energy, including our thoughts. Positivethoughtsattract
positive energy that over time will manifest into reality.
The law of attraction is a scientifically-proven natural law but
whether it applies to thoughtsin this way has not been conclusively
proven. When it appliesto vision boards, it canbe viewed more as a
philosophy.
The famous book The Secret explains how the Law of Attraction
works to manifest physical abundance in your life through positive
visualization and gratitude practices.
Manyof itsadvocatesreportthatit hasworked miraclesintheir lives
by allowing them to attract and manifest wealth, love and success.
Although backed by a very small volume of research, there is no
definite evidence that it works – and there are many skeptics who
have refuted that it does.
The bottom line: There's no doubt that visualization, whichever
way it works, can create tangible results. If nothing else, the
psychologicalbenefitsaloneareenough reasonsfor creating a vision
board. Thinking about your vision daily reinforces motivation,
optimism, excitement and resilience.
Now that you've learned how vision boards work and what they can
do for you, let's start creating your own amazing vision board.
10. Page | 9
Chapter 3: Creating Your Vision
Board
Creating a vision board is a super simple, fun activitythat will bring
out your creative inner child. It's a simple and straightforward
process that requires no specific skills. Best of all, most of the
materialsneeded areprobablyavailableinyour home and ifnot, cost
very little to buy.
Materials you need
Any type of board- regular poster board, a corkboard or a
magnetic board. 20-30 inches is a good size.
Glue stick, tape, pins or magnetic holders depending on the type
of board you're using.
Scissors
Colored markers, glitter, stickers, bits of ribbon or other
decorating materials of your choice. These are totally optional.
You're free to make your vision board as simple or as decorative
as you like.
Magazines
Personal photos of yourself, friends or places.
Internet images. Again, thisisoptionalbut keep inmind that you
will need a color printer for these.
11. Page | 10
Create your vision board by attaching images and quotes related to
your vision and embellish it with the decorations of your choice.
Images and quotes
What kinds of images and quotes should you add to your vision
board? Basically, anything that inspires you! Here are a few tips to
help you along.
Your photos should clearly reflect your goal or future vision. For
example, photos of beautifulhouses with prettylawns if your goal is
to buy a house.
12. Page | 11
If your dream is to travel to France, --images of the Eiffel Tower,
ChampsElysees, the Louvre and French cuisineareperfect. You can
also add quotes about the beauty of Paris and so on.
You canalso includeimagesthat reflect thesteps required to realize
your vision. If your goal is to become a doctor, images of medical
schools or medical degrees can be used, as well as images of
graduating students. If the goal is a new car, you can add images of
cash or write down the sum you need to save for your new car.
Remember to choose positive, motivating and inspiring words and
quotes that will work as an affirmation of your goal.
Positioning your images
There's no right or wrong way to arrange images. Just let your
creativeinstinct guideyou. There are no set rules for the number of
images you can use.
Some people prefer to create a jumbled collage with their images
while others prefer to divide their boards into sections, with each
representing a different vision. Some people opt for a limited
number of photos while others like their board overflowing with
images.
In short, beas messy, organized, minimalistor elaborateasyou like.
Thegoalis that your visionboard should fireup your motivationand
excitement when you look at it.
13. Page | 12
Personalizing your vision board
Adding your personal touch is key for making your vision board a
perfect reflection of your dreams. Here are some suggestions:
- Add photos of yourself.
- Add mementosthat reflect your journeysuch asphotosofdegrees
you've earned or awards that you've won, which affirm progress
towards your goal.
- Add photosof events such as a graduation or wedding that speak
to your goals and represent important milestones.
- Write personalized messages to yourself to keep up your
motivation.
That'sit - you arenow readyto start making your visionboard. Grab
the stuff you need, find a spacious work surface and enjoy!
14. Page | 13
Chapter 4: Using Your Vision
Board
Where to place your vision board
Whenyour vision board iscompleted, thefirst questionyou'll ask is,
whereshould you put it? Your visionboard needstobe placed where
you can see it every single day.
Looking at your vision board every day doesn't mean glancing at it
in passing. In order for your visualization to be effective, you need
to look at your board for a few minutesat least on a daily basis. This
means placing it where you can comfortably look at it for that
amount of time, or longer if you choose to.
Here are some suggestions to consider:
- The wall across from your desk if you have a home office.
- A kitchen cupboard or the fridge if you spend a lot of time in the
kitchen.
- A small room or space in your home that you can convert into a
personal "visualization space".
- On the nightstand besideyour bed where you canlook at it every
night.
15. Page | 14
- This suggestion may not appeal to everyone but it could be an
option if you're at a loss for an appropriate space. If the back of
your bathroom door faces the toilet, well… why not?
Something you may want to consider is whether you want your
vision board tobe a privateexperienceor ifyou're okay displaying it
where others can see it.
Naturally, if you opt for privacy, this narrows down your placement
choices. You will either need to createa smallpersonal spaceinyour
homeor keep your visionboard ina drawer or cupboard. Thisisokay
but remember that you need to make time to look at it every day.
Another suggestionis that you move your vision board from timeto
time because we tend to become blind to things we're used to.
Displaying your vision board in a different place every 10 days or so
will allow it to catch your eye as you walk into a room, giving you a
rush of excitement and optimism.
How to use your vision board
Whether you believe in the Law of Attraction or take the more
science-backed approach, theresults of using your vision board will
bethe same. Your brainwillfire up and workdiligentlytomakeyour
visual affirmations a reality.
16. Page | 15
Sit or stand gazing at your vision board for 3-4 minutes at the very
least. Let your gaze slowly sweep over the pictures and words you
have added and really take them in. Feel the pleasure and
excitement, allowing it to flood your brain with positive feelings. It
will be helpful to keep the following points in mind:
Really internalize the images on your board and envision that
they have already become a reality. Allow this vision to fill you
with pride, joy, and a sense of mastery and accomplishment.
Read the words and inspirational messages on your board out
loud if possible. Repeat them slowly and with conviction. These
positive affirmations are an important part of the visualization
process.
Don't limit your visualization to just once a day. Look at your
vision board often and for as long as you can to keep yourself
inspired and your brain fired up.
Visualizeyourself already inthe futureyou have planned on your
vision board. Embellish the images with vivid scenarios of you
living your future. You canvisualizeother people, eventsand even
conversationsthat take place. But always remember that you are
thestar ofyour story. Makesurethat thescenariosrevolvearound
you.
Feel grateful for all of the good things you already have in your
life and givethanksfor thewonderful thingsthat willcometoyou
soon. Gratitude is very powerful for promoting hope and
optimism. It helps your brain believe what you are visualizing
because it recognized that it's good for you.
Ideally, some experts say that you should use your vision board
before going to bed so that the positive affirmations will be the
last thing your mind registers before you fall asleep.
17. Page | 16
Now for the million-dollar question: when can you expect to see
changesinyour life? Well, using a visionboard isa verypersonalized
process. The results depend on a number of factors, such as how
often you look at your vision board, how deeply you immerse
yourself and the goals themselves.
Giveyourself and your braintimetoget thehang ofit and bepatient.
The first change you'll begin to see will be in your mindset and
outlook. You'll find that you are becoming more hopeful, optimistic
and motivated. This will reflect on your productivity, decision-
making and resilience.
Gradually, your goals will begin to manifest. There's no set
timeframe within which this will happen – but it will happen for
sure!

represent the company vision.

on your goalsand visions. You mayhave several so identifythe ones
that you feel are the most important to achieve.

you want to becomewealthy, specify the sum that you would like to
have someday. If you want tobe highlysuccessful or famous, specify
in what sphere. For example, running your own business – and if
possible, what type of business and what product or service it will

Create more than one vision board
Naturally, most people have several goals in their lives. They relate
tohealth and fitness, family, personalrelationships, career, and even
spiritual; goals are very valid. Some people even create the perfect
"holiday" or "wedding" vision board where they envision the ideal
tropical cruise or the perfect wedding day.
If you createone of these, add relevant photos of tickets, invitations,
wedding cakes and dresses, along with people who will be with you
at the event.
Lumping everything together on one vision board can distract your
focus and divide your attention between several different things at
once.
The better option is to create several! Some examples would be a
health and fitness vision board, one for career goals and another for
financial goals. Basically, you can work on several priority goals by
creating separate boards for each.
However, do start with one at first and use it for a while before
starting another.
