*WILLIAM JAMES On: VISUALIZATION*
There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep and hold that picture there long enough, you will soon become exactly as you have been thinking.“ ―WILLIAM JAMES (1842–1910)
American philosopher, psychologist, and teacher William James was a gifted writer in theology, psychology, ethics, and metaphysics.
To activate this law in your life, here are a few suggestions:
- Be willing to wish for anything you want. Refuse to limit yourself or see yourself as unworthy. You are entitled to share in the abundance of the Universe.
- Be willing to ask for help. Don’t be embarrassed to put your request in writing as well as voicing it.
- As much as possible, keep your pictures to yourself, along with your intentions to materialize them.
