If you can dream it, you can do it!

Positive pictures in our mind can have tremendous impact on our performance. Peak performers have the ability to imprint images of successful actions into their minds.

Our self-vision or picture of ourselves is a major factor on our performance. We become what we think about most. Too often, we excuse our performance because 'I am always late,' 'I am not creative,' or 'I am disorganized.' These belief statements are the first step in a self-defeating cycle. A more accurate statement would be, 'I've chosen to be late,' 'I've chosen to be disorganized.'

Until you see your choices and change your self-vision, you will never become the high-performance leader you want to be.

Establishing focus and context helps develop a powerful passionate vision of where you are going. If you have no vision, but only formal plans, then every unpredicted change in the environment makes you feel like the sky is falling.

Picturing your destination is a key source of energy as you blaze your pathway to higher performance.
