Take the case of cancer patients who were given placebo pills.



These are just plain pills that have no healing capabilities.

So how did they get well?

The power came from their thoughts. They were told that these

pills contain the highest amounts of cancer-fighting ingredients

which can effectively cure them in a matter of days.

See how powerful your mind is?

They believed that their health will be restored. They have

registered in their minds that these pills will cure them of

their illnesses. In the process, the belief embedded within

their subconscious came to reality.

So how can you use your mind to achieve your dreams? One of the

most effective ways is to use the "as if" principle.

Act as if you are the person you want to be. Act as if you are

already in possession of whatever you long to have.

So what do you want to be? You want to be a lawyer, doctor,

athlete, or newscaster? Think, act, and feel like one. You'll

be much closer to your goal if you're constantly intact with

your objective. Be obsessed with your dream. It doesn't mean

that if you want to be Superman you'll fly out the window. Not

a good idea!

It's not enough that you act like one, but you have to actually

ACT. Do what needs to be done. You might get so lost in your

fantasy dream world that you've forgotten to take some action.

Let your visions encourage and motivate you to actualize your

purpose.

The problem with the people of the modern world is that they

are too preoccupied with worries, anxieties, and negative

emotions. As a result, they are adversely affecting their

state of health.

White lies have become prevalent nowadays in order to ease the

burdens or to persuade others to do things that they thought

are unattainable.

There was once a weightlifter who couldn't lift weights in excess

of 300 lbs. So his coach devised a clever idea and told him that

the barbell he has to carry weighs only 300 lbs. With all his

might, the weightlifter managed to put it above his head. After

he puts it down, the coach told him that he has just lifted 350

lbs. of weight! It's all in the mind!

A famous person once said, "Whenever you think you can or you

can't, you're right."

If you think you are poor, then you are; unless you properly

condition your thoughts to the positive mindset. I know it's

hard to think rich if your environment is not conducive to

such way of thinking. Use your imagination then! Visualize

your house to be a mansion, your old car to be a limousine,...

Well you get the picture.

There is absolutely no limit with what the mind can achieve. But

you have to combine belief, will power, and action with positive

thinking in order to arrive at your intended destination.
