Seeing is What?

You have heard “seeing is believing.” I would ask “Seeing is what? or “To what kind of seeing do you refer?”

Here’s why. Unless and until you see “it” in your mind’s eye, you won’t see “it” in your everyday reality.

And it doesn’t matter what “it” is. This can be anything that you can see, hear, touch, smell, or taste.

I know you have probably heard this a time or two. This wisdom is as ancient as ancient gets. It’s been around for as long as there have been people.

And sometimes that’s the reason we need to hear it so many times. It’s so much a part of how our minds work that we easily forget it. And we do so at great cost in terms of success and money.

So when someone one says “Seeing is believing,” recognize that this person is essentially clueless about how the mind works. And this is equally true when someone says the sister statement “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Quite the opposite happens. You see it in your mind’s eye, then you begin to believe it with a greater and greater intensity, and then you see it in everyday reality.

So let your imagination envision some desirable outcome in your mind’s eye. Add color, brightness, clarity, and motion. This will make your image a very compelling experience.

And as you continue to let yourself connect with this image on an emotional level, you can believe in something even though you do not see it physically.

This is the kind of seeing that makes believing and subsequent success possible. This is so because the mind works this way.

And how very fortunate that this is so! Here’s why.

If you could only believe what you physically see, you could never get any farther ahead in life that what’s in front of you. If this was so, I imagine we would still be in caves.

So see with your mind’s eye. The success and money you desire will be along presently.
