You At A Dead End? Look Deeply Into My Eyes!
The president of a large North Eastern company, doing business
internationally, was visiting his California division. While he
was there, he saw a very large photograph of, of all people,
himself, hanging on the wall.
He was in the office of his Vice President's private secretary.
He said to her, Linda, that's a very large picture you have of
my mug for this size room isn't it?
Linda said you know what I do when I have a problem? He said
yea, you throw darts at it. Don't you? She smiled and said no,
here's what I do. Then she demonstrated by propping her elbows
on her desk, placing her chin in her cupped hands, and looking
up at that picture said, Boss, what the heck would you do to
solve this?
What Kinds of Images do you visualize?
Linda used a very powerful motivator to help solve her problems.
She identified with a successful image. This sort of
visualization can break the cycle of self-defeat and bad habits
those years of struggles have set up with-in a personality.
Linda went on to testify, I find it extremely helpful to
identify with a successful and positive image that inspires me
to make the right decisions. She said, sometimes it's a slogan,
a picture, or any symbol that has deep meaning to me.
What do your images say to you?
Some people may find what Linda does humorous. But, the results
of her actions are startling. Do you have a picture or symbol in
your home or office that could give you the right answer for an
important decision?
It might be a picture of a father, mother, husband, wife,
Benjamin Franklin, maybe Benedict Arnold, nah
