Imagine - And It Will Happen!
I have always been a big believer in the power of one's mind in life - whether it is sheer enthusiasm, positive attitude or pure belief in the moment. One of the reasons why I titled this blog (and my prior one) - Imagine!
I believe there are wonderful aspects of our mind and Einstein says it well: "Imagination is more powerful than knowledge". It is a wide spectrum for me and it is "always on". From living life to the fullest with fun individually to powerful and long term relationships with family, friends and professionals to driving creativity and innovation in business.
So when I saw this article in The Wall Street Journal today - Why Thinking You Got A Workout May Make Your Body Healthier, I was delighted! I believed in mind before reality and it has always worked for me - but I really had no science ever to back it up. One of the big books that proposes this philosophy is Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach. It is a quick read and I would highly recommend it. Haven't read it but Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a classic by him.
Imagine - that elusive six-pack when you bend over for those shoe laces!
