4.10 DESCRIPCIÓN DE LOS A SPECTOS MÁS RELEVA NTES

Here’s an interesting story. During one of my entrepreneurship workshops, I asked those in the audience who own their own businesses to raise their hands. Virtu- ally everyone did. But here’s the odd thing. When I asked those who think they have a perfect business to keep their hands up, they all put their hands down. Every one of them.

The truth is, I wasn’t surprised. How’s that for a revelation? Naturally, I then followed up with the most logical question: “So what then in your opinion epito- mizes the perfect business?”

Here were some responses:

1. The perfect business allows you to make as much money as you want without sacrificing time for your personal life.

2. The perfect business provides security and creates wealth for current and future generations.

The truth is, one person’s definition of a perfect business might be another’s of a miserable business. Totally subjective. Therefore, I asked them why they believe they don’t have a perfect business.

One person said that since none of them really knew what their definition of a perfect business was, there was no way they could have one. How true! I mean, for the sake of discussion, let’s take this to a higher level and expand things to a broader vision of life in general, as opposed to focusing only on a business.

Now if I were to ask you whether you live the perfect life, what would your re- sponse be? Think about it. Do you know what your definition of a perfect life is? Have you ever thought about it, on a conscious level? (Keep in mind that I obvi- ously understand that with the exception of God, probably nothing can ever be perfect. What I mean by perfect is the next closest thing to it.)

Anyhow, let’s talk about your life and it being maybe less than perfect, whatever that means to you. The truth is, based on my observation, the key reason why most people don’t get anywhere near to the perfect life is because they simply

don’t know what the perfect life looks like!

If you have an inkling as to how the brain works, you’ll understand that you have to see your new life in your mind’s eye by replaying the mental movie over and over in your brain. Once a clear intention is set and consistently viscerally imprint-

ed into the subconscious mind, perceptions and behaviors find and produce the

desired results.

The thing is, you must visualize what your life looks like in crisp, precise detail and watch yourself in that movie. Only then can you bypass willpower or the tradi- tional goal achievement stuff and draw closer to your goal as quickly as possible, without having to overcome enormous obstacles and struggles!

Clearly, most people have no high-definition movie to play and watch in their minds, even though they sincerely hope, wish, desire, and pray for a better life. But you and I know that hope is not a cure. Simply hoping for things to get better or for you to become richer doesn’t change a thing.

I’ll say this again: if you have no specific, clear-cut, unshakable vision of what better or rich means, and therefore cannot turn it into a mental movie to watch in your mind’s theatre over and over again, you’ll never be able to manifest it in your life!

Understand this: The truth is, your subconscious mind cannot distinguish be- tween reality and synthetic experience. And if you play out your fantasy with great clarity and specificity in your mind often enough, your mind becomes con- ditioned into thinking you’ve already been there, done that. It will then allow you to skip the struggle and get right to the thing you’ve fantasized about!

So, how can you draw closer to a life you might describe as perfect? Well, first things first. You have to systematically list down what a perfect life—as you de- fine it—would contain.

Next, use the items on this list to direct a “virtual movie” with you as the star; the story should contain all the things on your list appearing in the movie. Now, replay this movie in your mind over and over again, taking advantage of every chance you can get.

Replay it when you’re at work, while in the shower, or while you’re just plain goofing off.

I guarantee this works because I’ve personally done it and still practice it daily. Regardless of the current state of affairs, good or tough times, I’m always replaying the movie of my perfect life as frequently as possible. And you know what? Granted that things don’t always turn out a hundred percent the way I pic- ture them to be; however, they do turn out pretty darn close, which is more than what most people can say.

You might want to ponder on this statement a little. I have a little exercise that I want you to do now. No, not later. Now!

Don’t procrastinate and sit on it, or say you’ll do it when you have the time, or make up any other excuse why you’re not doing it. Remember that your excuses may feel good to you, but they will never allow you to get a new life!

So instead of thinking or talking about it, why not push all distractions aside and do it right now?

Step #1: Identify your perfect life in great detail.

Step #2: Write down the list of things that your perfect life would comprise of.

(For example, no more commuting to work, no boss, no employees, only work- ing from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., sleeping until noon every day, living in a five-bedroom house with deluxe décor, owning a huge home-office complete with a private beach, shopping with your wife at a high-end mall twice a week, donating $10,000 a month to the Children’s Society, earning a monthly income of $100,000 after taxes, driving a brand-new BMW 7 series, and so on.)

Step #3: Picture what each item would look like if you were an outside observer,

watching yourself living or performing the items on your perfect-lifestyle list. See and envision each thing in great detail as if you were in a movie and others were watching that movie of you.

Step #4: Constantly see the movie of your perfect life in your mind’s eye or in, as

Dr. Maltz (author of Psycho Cybernetics) calls it, the Theatre Of Your Mind over and over again.

It’s actually daydreaming with a specific purpose.

See the movie while you’re waiting for the traffic light to turn green, while in the bathroom, while lying in bed before you go to sleep, while in bed before get- ting up, while cooking dinner, while sitting in your doctor’s office’s waiting room, while at a hated day job, and so on.

Fabian Lim Step #5: You must reprogram your subconscious mind: the self-image control

that’s in there. Only a repeated daydream with a mental movie of a perfect life can and will change your subconscious mind’s self-image control automatically in only a couple of weeks or so.

Step #6: Your subconscious mind cannot distinguish between reality and fantasy.

So mental movies force your self-image to think the fantasies are reality; as if they had already happened.

Step #7: Once your self-image has changed, and thinks your daydreams are real-

ity, the self-image control gets switched to a new one. This new self-image takes over and guides your conscious mind to take necessary actions in creating the new reality your self-image tells you that you are.

There’s no need for willpower because once you reprogram your subconscious mind to change your self-image control, your conscious mind will be guided au- tomatically to the perfect fantasy that will soon become your reality.

Why Does It Work?

Because creating movies of what we visualize enters directly into our sub- conscious as what has actually been seen by us. The truth is, our mind cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality. We have actually seen the image we created; thus, we create the reality we want on the inside first by creating new neural pathways and cells of recognition. It’s as the saying goes, “Seeing is believing.”

We believe what our eyes see. This is true for your mind’s eye as well. As you create an image on the screen of your mind, your brain believes that it’s hap- pening and that it’s real.

Spaced repetition of the visions causes the neuron patterns to strengthen, thereby causing the image to become more real. Your mind then begins to be- lieve it actually happened or is now happening. Subconsciously, it’s an event that has actually taken place.

Here are some examples in my life:

a. Owning a multi-million dollar condo in downtown Singapore. b. Driving a BMW 7 series.

c. Working with nothing more than my laptop, my cellphone, and, sometimes, my iPad.

d. Wearing jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, whenever I’m working or not. e. Taking deluxe vacations once a quarter.

f. Flying in first and business class comfort and staying in five-star hotels. g. Owning and flying on my own airplane for work and pleasure.

Does this stuff work? Heck yeah!

So what are you waiting for? Go play that movie now!

It’ll no longer be a case of if, but rather when you start owning the perfect busi- ness and living the perfect life!

A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. Here’s a parting thought:
