As we consider how our lives should be in the future, mental images pop into our heads. We could dream of houses, trips away, and super cars – maybe even performing a role that carries high esteem. It’s probable we’ll view our figure differently – with less body fat and a more toned physique.

Such ideas concentrate on things we’d like to have. Unless we have a vision of how things will look when we’ve reached the lofty heights of our personal success, we’ve little chance of ever getting there.

Positive visualisation alone won’t bring results though. We must accept that changes will be needed. “The definition of insanity,” according to Albert Einstein, “is to do the same thing and expect different results.” Or put another way, we’ll carry on having what we’ve always had if we carry on doing what we’ve always done.

We need to not only massively change the way we do things, but also massively change the way we think. Only then will we make big steps forward in what we have. Not a big revelation then to realise that a smidgen of exertion will be needed to get the things we want to have. The relationship between giving and getting is well understood! Yet simply doing the work won’t automatically give us the lifestyle we’re after.

People who achieve much in life internalise winning attitudes along the way. They adopt the right behaviour and thought processes. For instance, if our aim is to slim down and lose twenty five pounds in weight, then we must work-out and eat in the same way a lighter, healthier person would do.

If socialising beckons, but the work-out hasn’t been done, then socialising must wait. There will be time for enjoyment when the task is accomplished in the achiever’s mind-set. Slimming with a positive attitude brings results in faster and makes the whole discipline much easier.

Victory won’t come looking for us. Developing the mindset of an achiever is a powerful weapon against the knocks, criticisms and doubts that will inevitably come our way.

We can connect with positive achievers by watching films and reading biographies of others who’ve overcome challenges on their path to success. Almost all the stories tell the same tale. The winner visualised being a winner from the beginning and internalised the process. By focusing on becoming who we need to be, we’ll enjoy the exertions we have to do more and receive the things we want to have so much faster.
