I used to think visualization was hocus pocus—what’s the point in thinking about a future that you have no control over?
And it’s exactly that type of mindset that creates these self-limiting beliefs we have as adults. As a kid, I fell in love with movies and books because it carried me away into lands of fantasy…I could be whoever I wanted to be and do whatever I wanted to do—they inspired and motivated me. And it was this mindset of visualization that made being a kid…fun.
And then we grow up. And we lose the power of dreams. And yes—there is an indescribable phenomena that links visualization with the law of attraction or universe (I think it’s scientifically called the self-fulfilling prophecy)—but the power of visualization lies in shifting our mindsets. Just because we are adults does not mean we should stop dreaming. Visualization is a formalized way of saying “adult dreaming,” and we need to keep visualizing—if we are to truly write the most important Hollywood narrative—our lives.
