It's the journey not the destination

I love telling stories and describing events in a way that helps to understand a little more about ourselves and why we do what we do.

Dream Your Way to Success

 Mohammad Ali was probably the greatest boxer ever, but did you know that his pre-fight predictions were uncannily accurate, somewhere around 80% in fact.  How did he do it?

In an interview, Ali described his preparations.  Ali would research the opponent and devise a strategy to beat him.  Once the strategy had been developed, Ali would go to bed and dream the fight exactly to his strategy.  Once he had ‘seen’ the fight play out in his dream, he’d go to the gym and train for the dream.

That’s a powerful story and one that demonstrates the importance of having a clearly articulated dream or vision. Such was the strength of Ali’s vision that more often than not ,it came to fruition exactly as he had seen and planned it.

Along with his powerful vision, Ali was a very positive thinker.  Everything he said, thought and did affirmed his deeply held beliefs.  He was once quoted as saying “It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.”

Dream yourself to the success your heart desires.
