What's your first thought each morning?

The thoughts you think before lopping off to sleep at night - as well as the thoughts you think first thing in the morning, set the course for your life.

Yet, the average person is totally unconscious about what he thinks about during these important moments.

What you picture in your mind's eye when you arise each morning sets the tone for how you will feel - and what results you will get - for the rest of the day.

What you picture before you go to bed at night has a major influence upon what you will dream about
- and how you will feel when you awaken.

You can go to bed with the final thought, 'I'm really tired.' And guess what? You'll wake up hours later still feeling tired. The mental movie of fatigue played all night long programming you to wake up almost as tired as when you went to bed.

But if you change your thought before bed to, 'Mingtian, wo yao gan dao fei chang hao - that's Mandarin Chinese for, 'Tomorrow I will feel great' - and if you picture yourself arising in the morning filled with energy and pizzazz - then I assure you - it will happen.

I've taught this technique to thousands of people - and when they try it - they're simply blown away at how powerful and TRUE it is. Yet, it's really a simple concept.

Now let's think about how the above applies to other areas of your life. For example, let's say you want to wake up leaner and healthier than when you went to bed. Don't go to bed with a mental picture of being overweight and unhealthy because that's what you'll wake up thinking.

Sure, physical reality for you right now may be the opposite of what I'm telling you to mentally imagine. But the only way out of the maze is to begin imagining different. Begin seeing yourself the way you want to be in the future, as if you are there right NOW.
Then do whatever it takes to make your imagination become the reality you seek.

If you go to bed with the image of waking up richer, wealthier and more prosperous - then your subconscious will work on this image as you sleep. In turn you'll begin each day with prosperous thoughts.

Carry prosperous thoughts with you during the day - and before you know it, you'll be bumping into one opportunity after another - all designed to make you move up in this world.

Live your day with powerful movies playing in your imagination and before long your imagination will be what you're living.

"What's the difference between imagination and reality?"

Long pause.

"TIME," "Time is the only difference between imagination and reality. There's a fine line between the two - and no one knows where that fine line begins - or ends."

P.T. Barnum once said, "Imagination is the elixir of life."

When you use your creative imagination to build a brighter future
- you feel the effervescent energy of an elixir bubbling up all around you. You come to understand that everything in the Universe vibrates - including YOU.

Put negative movies into your mind and you lower your vibration. No bubbling energy can be felt.

Play positive movies in your mind and you instantly stand up straighter, breathe more fully, get a gleam in your eye and power in your step. You immediately begin to vibrate with MORE life.

To change your results you must change how you feel - and how you feel is based on how you picture things in your mind. If you don't feel a strong, pulsing vibration inside your mind and body right now, it is because you're looking at low-level mental pictures and movies.

Upgrade, my friend. Play only the best. Think only of the best and the best will pursue you while you move toward it.
