How to Get What I Want
How to get what I want you’ve heard the expression, “What you see is what you get.” My grandfather used to say: “If you look at a tree long enough, it will move.” We see what you want to see. Psychologists tell us that nothing controls our live more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are. If you don’t think you’ll see be successful, you won’t. You can’t be it if you can’t see it. Your life is limited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life. How to get what I want Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger.”Now that you’ve retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next” Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently: “I’m going to be the #1 movie star in Hollywood.” The report was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger’s plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound body builder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood’s #1 movie star! So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planed make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said: ” I’ ll do it the same way I became the #1 body builder in the world. What I do was to create a vision of who I want to be, and then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true.” Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn’t it But it worked! Schwarzenegger DID become the #1 highest paid movie stars in Hollywood! Remember: “If you can see it, you can be it.” A successful businessman I know wears a shirt with these words on it. “Don’t just pursue your dreams. Chase them down and tackle them!” You only get one life to live, so why not live the best life possible so you can be fully satisfied at what you see and get. Just think a minute!
