The Power Of Positive Models

Recently, my brother told me that he'd met someone at his music
school who was younger than him but was already selling "beats"
to R&B music artists.

My brother told me that when he listened to this guy's stuff he
knew it had a professional quality to it.

Then he told me that he knew that sometimes when he was composing
beats that he could do better.

That sometimes he just let some things go even when he knew he could
improve it.

And when he realized that this "kid"--just a few years younger
than he and using the exact same computer software to compose his
beats--was already making money in the music business he knew he
would need to begin to really hone his work until it was perfect.

And as he spoke I could hear that he wasn't criticizing himself
for not getting as far as this kid.

Instead, he sounded focused and determined.

After seeing this man with the same resources he has accomplish a
goal, he knew he could do it to.

What does this tell us about how to achieve our goals?

It shows us the importance of models in helping us to understand
our own situation better, in inspiring us and in causing us to
believe we can achieve our goals.

And if you don't have any models to inspire you?

You can look for them.

And you can create them in the Theater Of Your Mind.

The emotional part of the brain does not distinguish very well
between what you visualize distinctly and what you experience.

So you can create the perfect model to motivate you to achieve
your goals.

And better yet, you can imagine that you are that model.

You can become who you want to be first in your mind, then in
your life.

To learn more about how you can use your mind to help you achieve
your goals, buy Psycho-Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz from
Amazon.com or from your nearest book store.

You'll be glad you did.
