Visualization?

I love reading books alot. One book that remained in my hands for a long time was one by stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of highly Effective People. One of the chapters was titled begin with End in Mind. I kinda love that phrase. It has become one of my favourites for some time now. What does it mean to begin with the end in mind?

All of us humans have an ability to use creative imagination. The ability is one of the abilities that distinguishes us from animals. 
Our imaginations have enabled  us to invent thing from the wheel to putting man on the moon. It could enable us to make things that never existed before in reality but in the mind of the one who has the idea.

If this ability works in inventions and all that, I believe it should work also for other aspects of our lives. The term visualization has been used to describe this process of delibrately creating a desired outcome that we want to see come to past in your life. It is a normal human ability. No one should decieve you into going for meditative classes to be able to do this. I do not agree that it is magical and only a chosen few have the secrets to achieving it.

We all find ourselves in different states where are completely oblivious of our surroundings. These are states that trigger creativity in us. Sometimes we are not just passionate enough about enhancing our lives. By subscribing to all the ads we see in our newspapers and the internet, we use our laziness and gullibility to enrich these people with thier fake methods and new so-called revolutionary procedures that were created just for that purpose.

If you can't visualize properly in begining with the end in mind, write. I do a little of both We all have imaginations, even if we use them wrongly. 
Spend some time thinking how you would want your future to be like. Have it in mind that not all you want can come to you. 

Prayer is a key way of begining with the end in mind. Spend time in real positive prayer, telling your Creator how things are and how you want them to be. You could think through your prayer or speak out as if He were next to you.Then end the prayer with "Not my will but thine Lord." He owns the future. He knows whether it fits with your role in the scheme of things. Before you begin any major project, spend sometime in real prayer. Use your imagination well.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine" Ephesians 3:20

If you can write out your prayer on a piece of paper, you could spend time reading it out to yourself. From the verse above, you can see that even our imaginations could be answered by God. Think only good things as much as you can. If you can spend some time studying scripture, knowing the will of your Creator and thinking them would greatly enhance your manifestation process because "His Blessings make rich and adds no sorrow to it."
