Phil's Personal Finance Tip of the Day:
Visualize Success
February 24, 2013 By
One of the best ways to use your imagination is to visualize or fantasize success. Long ago I came to realize that projecting myself into a successful situation was the most powerful means of attaining my personal goals.
That’s what a placekicker does when he comes on the field to kick a winning field goal. Three seconds left in the game… 80,000 screaming fans… 30 million people watching on TV… and the game is still in balance. As the kicker begins his moves, he makes the hundred tiny adjustments necessary to achieve the mental picture he’s formed in his mind so many times—a picture of himself kicking the winning field goal.
The ability to project is a common trait among all great athletes. They have vision. They see things happening a split second before they actually do.
Jack Nicklaus, one of the greatest golfers of all time and a PGA Tour Hall of Famer, was asked about his tremendous success, especially in making crucial tournament-winning putts. He thought about it for a bit and said, “I never missed a putt in my mind.”
Nicklaus is not considered to be the best at hitting his woods, long or short irons, or even at chipping and putting. But almost everyone considers him the greatest thinking golfer of all time. There has simply been no equal at the mental part of golf, which for me is half the game.
