Focus and Intent as a Key to Success

Napoleon Hill was one of the greatest visionaries of our time. His book "Think and Grow Rich" is a fantastic read. There is also a Facebook page you should add for frequent inspirational quotes.
Napolen Hill's belief system is basically based on the principle of "mind over matter".
A conscious effort to achieve your goals by conditioning your mind to create a desired outcome isn't only a myth. One of the best examples I came across are professional athletes who were asked to act out every stage of, let's say, a track race in their mind and winning while being closely monitored by medical equipment. It was found that their body reacted precisely the same as if they were actually running that race. Their muscles contracted according to their imagined movements and their heart rate, blood, adrenaline and endorphin levels corresponded in the same way. It has been known that many of the greatest athletes go over their routines, etc. in their mind prior to the actual physical performance and increase the probability of a win over those who don't. The reason for that is that, like in a dream, your brain cannot differentiate between our reality and the reality of your dream, i.e. your thoughts.

When you focus your mind on a positive outcome and imagine the correct steps, you prepare to take the right actions when they are needed. The more you practice, the greater the success!

Some tools you can use, are:

Dream or Vision Boards
Make a collage from pictures and magazine snippets that symbolize the goals you have. Look at it every day and let your daily actions correspond to the fulfillment of your dreams!

Visualization
Imagine yourself in that new car or house you want. Feel yourself getting in, driving, hear the noises, smell the scents in your imagination... Experience all the details ahead of time and get a "feel" for it as if you already had it!

Expect for Good Things To Happen
A positive outlook makes you more approachable and opens you up for new possibilties. Unlike depressive thoughts, happy ones automatically give your body more energy to be more productive due to heightened endorphine production.

Focus
Somehow, when the weekend or a vacation is right around the corner, we become incredibly busy and productive to get work over with so we can go and enjoy ourselves. When you focus on a desired result, suddenly, you tend to see less obstacles in your way and work harder and faster to achieve results. Try to approach every goal with that intense focus!
