The most powerful concept in existence is the power of productive imagination and pretending before the fact of having something you genuinely want. From goal setting to achievement, it takes an intense version of what I just mentioned in the opening sentence to genuinely and ideally achieve anything. Whether it is a simple and repeated visualization that is consistently done, or the engineering of a vast life paradigm on a personal level, success takes this sort of work.
Success and winning is ultimately the most powerful thing we can do in existence, and when it is done it does not just leave clues, it leaves a definite map that almost anyone can duplicate with the proper effort, like successfully turning on an electric power switch to a lamp bulb, or improving upon that effort, like inventing something new for the electrical power switch to turn on. So, sure, “acting as if” is very important, but to transcend that into actually being what you want to be after the earning process of “acting as if” is even better business.
So, to genuinely win takes mastery. It is that simple, but the efforts involved are never that simple. They take dedication, visualization, effort, then fulfillment in that order. Devote yourself and your results will be just as devoted to you. The deeper the devotion, the more genuine the fulfillment will be.
Dedication and visualization are nothing without effort, then fulfillment. It begins with genuine dedication to your goal as the cause and ends with fulfillment as the effect. Visualization and effort are just the techniques or vehicles to get to where you want to go. Doing visualization and effort without dedication and fulfillment is like being a powerful ship with a captain, working engine and everything, but without direction or a rudder to steer with. You end up going nowhere and probably even sinking or doing nothing but ending up nowhere but crashed where the wind takes you without any “fortunate” docking at a port. Sure, with all four factors working, you are healthy and powerful in all ways that do count. You are the fully manned ship with the good rudder that works. You are the winner you want to be. You have mastered the part of life and existence that you want to master. I did not say that you have “instantly mastered it all”, but I did say that you did do what you wanted to do the way you wanted to do it in the area you wanted to master. That is what counts the most. Be the fully manned ship in all areas you want and need to master and all else will be added.
