Perhaps Einstein said it best: "Imagination is more powerful than knowledge." Time and again it's been proven that our brains cannot tell the difference between something we vividly imagine and something we actually experience.
Once we understand this, it can transform our life. For example, many people are afraid to try something just because they've never done it before. Yet the very foundation of leaders' success is that, despite past experiences to the contrary, they repeatedly imagine obtaining their desired results. In this way they forge the sense of certainty that guides them to tap into their true potential.
Do we have a goal that excites us but involves doing something we've never done before? When would now be a good time to start imagining ourself succeeding?
