Recently I went it alone working from my bedroom. For the first 7 months I pretty much was surviving hand to mouth. But then I started visualising a new TV, a new garden and my 2 bathrooms totally refurbished. Guess what? I got some really big contracts and managed to get all those things that I visualised.
Visualisation works. You just have to persist with it.

I’m sure a lot of people are aware of Cynthia Stafford, the California woman who visualized and meditated about having $112 million dollars to help all her family and all the charities she was so passionate about, she knew and believed that number would come to her and she created an energy inside of her for 4 months with that figure in her head, not knowing exactly how that will come along, but just knowing IT WILL. Flash 4 months later when the Mega Millions hit $112 million, she knew it was a sign and bought only $2 quick picks, and won. She was not at all surprised at the win because she believes she brought it to herself. Subjectively, people could say this was made up but there is no reason to believe that it’s anything other then the truth. She has not tried to capitalize on any sort of visualization techniques or books or anything of the sort, she just simply stated that is what brought it to her. Had she started to try and build some empire based on visualization, she’d be called out, but she did none of that and she has indeed used most of her winnings to help the community and the places she visualized giving to.

The same can be said for Jim Carrey who drove to the top of the Hollywood Hills in 1990 and visualized himself getting movie offers and everyone wanting to work with him when he was just an unknown comic from Canada trying to make it. He FIRMLY believed and say himself getting phone calls with movie offers and he drove through town visualizing himself being sought after. Later (as most also know) he wrote himself a check for $10 million dated Thanksgiving Day 1995. Sure enough right before that date, he signed a movie deal for $10 million.

Also same with Oprah. In 1986 she was a random TV newscaster in Chicago who was absolutely obsessed with The Color Purple and she wanted to be a part of that in her heart so badly that she prayed on it and visualized being a part of the production in anyway possible (even so much as being a production assistant). One day music producer Quincy Jones (who didn’t know her at all) was in town to testify for a trial and was watching the news one day in his hotel and saw Oprah and immediately thought she would be great for the part of Sophia, and out of the blue Oprah got a call from a casting director that wanted her to come in and audition. She auditioned and months went by where she got no response. Finally, dejected but still hopeful she went to a weight loss center and was one day logging on the track praying that God release this obsession in her mind of being a part of the film, just then a woman came out to the track and told her there was a phone call…that call was from Steven Spielberg telling her to be in LA the next day and she had the part.

All three are wonderful and powerful examples. I have not (yet) realized a true visualization come to fruition, but I know that it will in time. I believe that visualization needs to be genuine, good-spirited and not based in greed or self-righteousness to have it come to life. I will keep my dreams firmly alive and I hope everyone else does as well. “You only get out of life what you put into it” — let’s make it a wonderful life.
