Visualization for Success

Visualization is the creative ability of the human to use the imagination , see successes in our minds and make them come true. It is very applicable to trading too. If we include feelings and concentration , it becomes a great creative power that makes things happen. Used it in the proper way , visualization can bring changes into our lives. The thought is the blueprint or road-map ; the feelings provide the energy , the “power of success”.

Sounds weird and funny ? Obviously not. Many successful traders use this technique to achieve trading success. You too can !

This is the power of creative visualization. It has the ability and power to alter our environment and circumstances , cause events to happen , attract money , possessions , work and love , change habits and improve the health. It is a great mind power. It is the power behind every trading success …

Occasionally you hear someone who says , “I can’t visualize” . While this may be true in rare instances , it is not most of the time.

When someone says , “I can’t visualize ,” they usually mean , “I’m not very good at this.” That’s fine , for I would say , “Practice we can”

Whether you are practiced or not at the essential success skill of visualization , consider this interesting example of what one mind can do when absolutely necessary.

You probably have heard about Professor Stephen Hawking …

I came across the following article this morning , written by Allen Turnbull …

Professor Stephen Hawking possesses one the world’s more formidable minds locked in one of the world’s most useless bodies.

A victim of Lou Gehrig’s disease, Hawking has lived for decades with an almost total lost of motor skills. Yet, he is also one of the world’s most brilliant cosmologists and mathematicians, holding the Chair at Cambridge once occupied by Isaac Newton.

Since he cannot hold a pen or turn a page, he has to work out all the mind-numbing subtleties of his art between his ears.

So, after much practice, he can visualize complex geometric forms and study them much as a normal person might use a diagram.

On top of this amazing feat of concentration , Professor Hawking can think through arcane complexities about this forms that bring the acronym “MEGO” (my eyes gloss over) to mind. You might say , with some justification , that Nature has taken away one resource (the hands) and replaced it with another (the mind). While this is true , that is still some serious visualization. Fortunately , Dr Hawking is blessed with a mind as powerful as God makes them. Also as fortunate , we mere mortals don’t need such grey matter to master the art of visualization.

So , if visualization doesn’t seem to come naturally to you , look up and practice. As you can now visualize , you too can use this skill and reach for trading success ! I was on some business trips to some of the Asian countries recently. I did some good visualization during the flight. I am currently looking forward to some of the business venture success in the near future. Sometimes catching up with old friends abroad for round of drinks may strike some potential joint venture in businesses ….

By visualizing an event , a situation , or an object , such as a car , a house , furniture etc , we attract it to us. We see in our imagination what we want and it happens. It is like daydreaming. It resembles magic , though actually there is no magic here. It is the natural process of the power of the thoughts.

Start some real visualization about your trading success today … Remember to put in effort to achieve your visualization goals. Without effort it is just a dream and your goals will not come true , I think.

Good luck !
