Now picture yourself-as vividly as possible-the way you want to be.Remember to picture your desired goals as if you had already attained them.Go over all the details of this picture.See them clearly and sharply.Impress them strongly on your memory.The resulting memory traces will supposedly start affecting your everyday life.They will help lead you to the attainment of your goals.
Of course daydreaming is no substitute for hard work.If it's athletic achievement you want,you also have to get lots of practice in your sport.You have to work hard to develop skills.If it's school success you're after,you can't neglect studying.Daydreaming alone can't turn you into your heart's desire.But in combination with the more usual methods of self-development,it might make a critical difference.It could be the difference between becoming merely good et something and becoming a champion.
