Monday Motivation….. December 23, 2013 (150)
Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger.”Now that you’ve retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next?”
Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently: ” I’m going to be the #1 movie star in Hollywood.”
The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger’s plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound body builder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood’s #1 movie star!
So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said: ” I’ll do it the same way I became the #1 body builder in the world. What I do was to create a vision of who I want to be, then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true.” Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn’t it? But it worked! Schwarzenegger DID become the #1 highest paid movie star in Hollywood.!
Moral:
You are what we think You are. If you don’t think you’ll be successful, you won’t. You can’t be it if you can’t see it. Your life is limited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life. Always remember, the mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master..!
Have a great week ahead!
