WRITE A CHECK TO YOURSELF
IT'S EXTREMELY POWERFUL TO FORMULATE IMAGES OF SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES- COMES-AND TO RUN THEM THROUGH YOUR MIND. BUT, THERE'S ANOTHER TECHNIQUE YOU CAN USE TO ACCELERATE YOUR SUCCESS. YOU CAN CREATE VISUAL AIDS TO MOVE YOU TOWARD WHAT YOU WANT.
IN 1990, WHILE HE WAS STILL RELATIVELY UNKNOWN, COMEDIAN JIM CARREY WROTE A CHECK TO HIMSELF WAS POSTDATED. THANKSGIVING 1995. AS CARREY EXPLAINED, IT WASN'T ABOUT MONEY. HE KNEW THAT IF HE WAS MAKING THAT MUCH, HE'D BE WORKING WITH THE BEST PEOPLE ON THE BEST MATERIAL.
CARREY EARNED ABOUT $ 800,000 FOR HIS WORK IN ACE VENTURA AND THE MASK. THEN, IN LATE 1994, HE WAS PAID $MILLION FOR HIS ROLE IN DUMB AND DUMBER. IN 1995, HE EARNED MANY MORE MILLIONS AND IS NOW GETTING $20 MILLION PER MOVIE!
JIM CARREY, "POSTDATED CHECK" EXERCISE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE POWER OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND TO ACTUALIZE A GOAL THAT IS HELD WITH DEEP CONVICTION AND FEELING. THINKING ABOUT YOUR GOAL AND FORMING IMAGES IN YOUR MIND WILL GO A LONG WAY TO CREATION THE SUCCESS YOU DESIRE. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU ALSO USE A TANGIBLE REPRESENTATION OF YOUR GOAL(SUCH AS A CHECK), YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS ARE EVEN GREATER!
NOW, I'M NOT SHARING THIS EXAMPLE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S AN INTERESTING STORY ABOUT HIM CARREY. THE SAME TECHNIQUE CAN WORK FOR YOU, TOO!
WHY NOT TEAR OUT ONE OF YOUR CHECKS RIGHT NOW AND POSTDATE IT THREE OR FIVE YEARS FROM NOW WITH THE AMOUNT THAT YOU WANT TO EARN FOR "SERVICES RENDERED"? MAKE SURE TO LOOK AT THAT CHECK AT LEAST ONCE A DAY.. AND BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE MOVING TOWARD THAT GOAL.
