the Art of Mental Pictures

Chapter 5 of the self-help classic the Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol is the Art of Mental Pictures.

Assume the virtue in your imagination. See yourself doing the thing and go ahead and just do it.

With vision, the people prosper. Act as if. Act as if you were confident and in control of your destiny.

Plant the right kind of seed and reap a rich harvest in due season, like a farmer.

A true mental picture is proper use of the imagination – a clear and dynamic desire.

Faith combined with works, deeds, action is alive and powerful.

“ If you can dream it – You can do it.”  – Walt Disney

Suggestion is Power

Suggestion is Power. Chapter 4 of the Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol.

Suggestion is power. Repetition of mantras, words or formulas is basic to all religions and play their part.

This brings us to the power of suggestion and autosuggestion which causes the subconscious mind to begin its creative work.

Once belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen. It is the law of suggestion.

Suggestion is power – through raising our expectations. It’s the ACT of BELIEVING that is the starting force or generating power that leads to successful accomplishment

Suggestion is a powerful weapon in the hands of anyone who knows how to use it positively.

“ Every person is the creation of himself, the image of his own thinking and believing. As individuals think and believe, so they are.” – Claude Bristol
