“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”
-Napoleon Hill
In today’s blog, we’re going to look at visualization in a different perspective. You probably expect this to be individualized, however, we will take a slight detour in our way of thought.
Hesitation and insecurity will almost 10/10 times lead you to failure. If you don’t truly believe in your own vision, do you think someone else will? This reminds me of when Tim Manson, Isaiah Thomas’ trainer said, “We’re social creatures; nothing important in life has been accomplished without each other - none of us have done anything by ourselves.” How does this tie into visualization? Well, imagine you have a vision you don’t wholeheartedly believe in, and yet, try to pitch that vision to people - do you really think they’ll be confident enough to go all in with their own tools to invest in you? You can’t sell it, if you yourself don’t buy it first. Same concept goes for the leader/captain on a sports team; can you really lead if you’re unsure in your own abilities?
Kobe Bryant used to visualize himself making a game winning shot over and over and over again, so when the time actually came, he wasn’t fazed because he had driven his mind to that particular moment, countless times. When you see a guy that sure In himself, as a teammate or coach, you naturally do what? Well, you ride or die with him and wholeheartedly believe in him regardless of the outcome, right? I don’t want to stretch this blog out too long but i’ll leave you with this; Believe in your own vision, so others do too - you’ll be surprised how much you can accomplish together.
Thank you!
