31 Day Blogging Challenge ~ Day Vengt-Six ~ Mind Movie...
Have you ever noticed how the last few grains in the hourglass zip through like there is no tomorrow? I feel like this whole month has been this way. Like, what's the rush dude? Slow down. But as we know, time waits on no one and weights break down wagons.

Yesterday, I was busy as hard drives in both my MacBooks whirred and purred as I created another edition of Diehl Killerz and started to work on my Mind Movie.

Mind movies are nothing new. They are nothing more than audio/visual goals set to the sound of your voice and music. The premise is built upon stimulating the subconscious to deliver the necessary plan, desire and focus to acheive your heart's desire.

It was once said that if you repeat a lie long enough and believe it, it will become your reality. Men much wiser that I have also said, "That if the mind of man can imagine it, it will come to pass."

As we set about setting our goals and imaging what we would like to have and accomplish this year, consider adding the power of mind movies to your arsenal...

So are you saying you create a movie for yourself that sends a message over and over to yourself....and you listen to it periodically? It's kind of like getting in the shower and talking to yourself, out loud, about have a productive day and how successful you are.....I'm thinking....

A life time spent for the answers because a personal instruction manual is written by each and every one of us. The one you need nNot available at a local book store. With a few mentors along the way. Enjoy the ride, capture the inner joy that we create. I see a lot of folks out in the wild blue yonder that are lost, seeking acceptance and it all starts with self acceptance. Others come and go. Pretty heavy huh? (smile) The mind movie had me thinking about incense, peppermints, 1968 "gotta find myself man" and Jimi Hendrix. (Adjusting tie) Back to listing, peddling real estate full throttle with one more coffee. Like the green of dead Presidents, serial numbers sprayed on the back ground screen of the same color. Blue works well too for a rear back drop color to hitch a ride, to create a layer.

Michael, i assume more to follow on this mind movie thing...to know the truths & repeat them are fine..i have a problem with the ones who promote the untruths...so focusing on a good mind movie is as important as living well!

Good morning, All. The principles are derived from the books, "The Secret" & "Think & Grow Rich". Far too many folks live and believe the lie that they are a victim of life's circumstances. Mind movies give one the hope and desire that things can and will change. You play them in the morning when you wake up and in the evening just before you retire. I will post an example in the next few days...

Michael~I'll look forward to your example of a "Mind Movie." Although, if Flubber is your co-star I might have a hard time concentrating. I learned long ago from a Brian Tracy program on goals to continually to write your goals over and over each day until they're ingrained in your head. I'm thinking that a mind movie would be a better way to go.

Have an AWESOME day!

sounds sort of like affirmations. maybe the power of positive thinking? I am all for that so bring it on!! A visual with audio is a very positive way to start each day. We should all have a mission statement for ourselves and our businesses for the new year as well. keep us all focused with a massive action plan!

Michael, Read somewhere about mind movies before and it does seem like a positive way to begin each day. Didn't know about ending the day with it also. Look forward to your example!

Good morning Michael,

I call them "Mind Tapes". I've always told my kids the tapes you play over and over in your mind will become reality if heard long enough! That's why thinking positive thoughts and playing those thoughts over and over have always worked for me:). Visuals with audio is excellent..can't wait to see your example!

Mike,

If you don't think that man can create what he can imagine, than explain people like Walt Disney. Pure genius.

Hi Michael,

If we think it's possible, then there will be someone who will make it happen. Or at least try to do it.

I try and fail doing different things all the time I think will work.

Trial and error my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

It's so true. If we can imagine it, it will come to pass. And time waits for no one.

Big Scorpio - the power of the mind is an amazing thing and I believe only we limit ourselves, but when we believe the impossible is possible and act accordingly, we can do extraordinary things!

All of us will need a great deal of personal confidence as we face the challenges of 2012. Many labels are used for the process but the power of positive thinking is a very special power that is needed for business success.

Happy Holidays! Happy New Year!
