Visualize what you really and truly desire, and what will make
you happy and satisfied. Your mind will probably interfere with
fears, worries and disbelief. Your job is to educate your mind and
change its habits, and you can do so if you realize the power of

positive thoughts, and visualizing positive mental images again
and again, will eventually change the habits of your mind and
your thinking. This will lead to understanding and realizing the
power of mental images.

our meal. When we have a function to attend we picture what
type of outfit to wear and where we might shop for it.
