This article is about becoming a millionaire today, in the very “real world” of your imagination. If you’re ever going to become a millionaire in reality, you’re going to have first become an “imaginary millionaire.”
The imagination is a very, very real realm; it determines what our future holds. Our imagination pre-plays our future.
“You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality.” – Wayne Dyer
Put it another way, you create your reality.
You have to see yourself as a millionaire at all times. You must (on some level) disconnect from your present situation, and connect with your imagination.
If you can see yourself as a millionaire “all the time, ” it’s only a matter of time before you live it out. I’m not talking about dreaming about being a millionaire; I’m talking about living in a faith-filled world within your imagination. When you ride the bus, you see yourself riding in your brand new BMW, when you walk into your “little” home, you see yourself walking into your mansion, and when you arrive to the job that you despise, you see yourself arriving at your dream job. See every aspect of your life the way you want it to be in the future.
You have to go there first in your imagination, and if you can see it…if you can really see it and believe it…you will begin to “act” like you’re already there… Your actions will then create opportunities for you to go where you’ve already been in your imagination.
The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, and act as if what you want is already here, the more you’ll activate those dormant forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality – Wayne Dyer
The imagination is a real world, and if you spend enough time there, you will take on the characteristics of the person that are in that world…you will become the person you imagine. If you imagine yourself confident, you will become confident; if you imagine yourself rich (long enough) you will begin to take rich actions, which will lead to a rich lifestyle. The first step to becoming a millionaire is becoming a millionaire in your imagination.
If you can go there in your imagination, and if you can believe it, you can have it. Now, I’m not talking about sitting on the couch and wishing up “magical lollie-pops” without effort. I’m talking about going to a real place in your mind, and living in that realm until your actions bring you there on the physical plane.
I’m reminded of when my wife and I first got married…while I worked during the day, my wife would go out and look at beautiful homes (she’s always dreaming). She would tour those big beautiful homes, and then she would invite me to come and visit them. I would go, and we would walk around those homes imagining ourselves living there…
During this time in our lives we were living in a one-bedroom apartment. BUT, we looked at those homes, and we really believed that we could live in such a home. Why did we believe this? I don’t know …but we did. We certainly had no proof that we could live in such a home, however we could see it in our imagination.
We imagined it, and nothing could stop us. Just a few years later we moved into such a home [See the article: How I manifested a seven bedroom home at 24].
Act as if what you intend to manifest in life is already a reality, eliminate thoughts of conditions, limitations, or the possibility of something not manifesting. – Wayne Dyer
Once you have imagined it “long enough, ” once you have convinced yourself that the imagination is a real realm that shows you the future, once you’re filled with faith, you will begin to take the steps that will take you into the world of your imagination; you will feel at home; because you’ve been there before!
本文所要谈到的主题就是“今天就成为百万富翁”,而且是在真正的现实世界中实现这一目标。
如果你在现实生活中还不是一个百万富翁的话,那你首先要去做的就是想象自己是一个百万富翁。
想象是非常具有现实意义的,它决定了你未来的走向。可以这么说,我们的想象预演了我们的未来。
你创造了你的思想;你的思想创造了你的意图;你的意图创造了你的现实。——韦恩·戴尔
换言之,你创造了你的现实世界。
如何想象自己是一个百万富翁?
不论何时,你都要把自己当成是一个百万富翁来看待。你必须要(在一定程度上)与你当下的境况隔离开来,然后把自己与想象中的百万富翁形象联系起来。
如果你能“时时”视自己为一个百万富翁来看待,那你真正实现这个目标就只是时间问题了。我并不是在说做白日梦;而是说你要忠实于自己想象中百万富翁形象,有信仰地去生活。当你在坐公交车的时候,你要想象自己正开着一辆宝马车;当你回到自己的小居所时,你要想象自己回到了一幢大厦里;当你开始了一天乏味的工作时,你要想象你正在做梦想中的工作。在生活中的各个方面,你都要去想象你渴望在未来得到的那部分。阅读:The Power(《力量》)。
首先,你在头脑中要有一个想象,如果你能看到它,如果你能真真切切地看到它,并且对此坚信不移,那你的行为举止就会发生彻底的改变,就好像你早已实现那个期望那样。然后,你的行为就会促成真正的改变,它能让你在想象中的形象在现实里应验。
当你经常把自己视为你所渴望成为的那个人时,你的行为举止也将会发生相应的变化,而这些会让你想象中的自我认识在现实中变成可能的机会大大增加。——韦恩·戴尔
想象中的世界是一个真实的世界,如果你所花的时间足够多,那你最终就会继承那个想象世界中的那个人物的性格,你就会成为想象中的那个自我。要是你想象自己充满自信,那你也会变得自信;如果你想象自己富裕(想象的时间足够长),那你就会开始采取相应的行动,这最终就会让你过上富裕的生活。成为富翁的第一步,就是在自己头脑中想象自己是一位富翁。
如果你想得到,并对此坚信不移,那你最终就能够做到。当然,我并不是说你可以坐在沙发上不付出一点努力,然后期待着奇迹发生。我是说你先要在头脑中想象你想要的一个结果,然后就去采取符合这个结果的行为举止,直到你在现实世界里到达这个位置。
你的想象预演了你的未来
这让我想起了我和我的妻子结婚时的经历。白天,在我工作的时候,她就四处去看漂亮的房子(她很想要得到一幢这样的房子)。在看完了这些房子之后,她就会邀请我一起去参观。我就去了,当我们在看房子时,我们就想象自己就是这幢房子的主人。
而我们当时还住在一间单卧室的公寓里。但是,当我们看着这些宽敞的房子时,我们就真的相信自己住在这样的房子里。为什么我们要相信这件事呢?我也不知道,但我们确实这样做了。没有任何证据可以表面我们能够住在这样的房子里,但是我们在自己的想象中看到这可以做到。
我们就这样去想象,没有什么可以阻挡我们。没过几年功夫,我们就真的住进了这样的房子里。
你要表现得好像你已经拥有了这样东西那样
如果你渴望获得某样东西,你就要表现得好像已经得到了它那样,不要去想不可能,做不到,不要限制你的思想。——韦恩·戴尔
只要你想象了“足够长的时间”;只要你说服自己相信你的想象会在未来成为现实;只要你拥有信念;你就会开始采取能够让你的想象变为现实的行动;你就会感觉到自己的梦想在一步步实现;因为你以前就曾到过那里。
