While walking through the Crossword Magazine store, the only intriguing fact for me was the Biography/ Autobiography section is getting larger.Perhaps its part of the fact that people want to read, visualize and empathize with the protagonists more than ever before.
There was another thought on TV that made me visualize that came from Amitabh Bachchan's story about his father.He had won the award of best actor in school and next year could not participate due to measles.His father sat with him in what could have been the parallel time of the school event for 3-4 hours.He said "If what you think happens, its good.But if what you think does not happens, its even good." This is because in the second scenario, God wanted something better to happen for you.
Another important biography with impact is about J R D Tata in "Beyond the last blue mountain".The fact that National interest could be so important part of the business intrigues me.
But the auto biogaphy which is currently ruling the charts is that of Sachin Tendulkar. Released recently, it shows how dedication and devotion for the game made the person be called as "God" of the game.
Taking all the above 3 in context of visualization, I think Sachin would have visualized his innings like crazy (eg. Perth test when he scored the century), JRD would have visualized the enterprise to be still in the greater good inspite of various conflicts with the politicians of the day and perhaps Bachchan with age has visualized that acting as his forte will take him to new levels of recognition.
Creating a mental image of where you want to be down the line helps in focussing the energy and attitude in the right direction.But one should not get the mental image as wishful thinking but a belief system for which one is constantly driven to achieve.
Hence its critical to visualize first and make them happen next.
