Visualize outcomes

Visualize outcomes

Not events, but outcomes. Visualize outcomes.

Not the cracking of the bat, but gliding over home plate.

Not the throwing of the football, but the  scoring of the touchdown

Not the twists and turns in the air, but the medal around your neck.

Not the inking of deals, but the kind of life you'll lead.

Not the scale, the diet, or the food, but the admiration you have earned.

And not the whens, the wheres, the whos, or the hows, but the laughter, high-fives, and wows.

Not events, but outcomes. Visualize outcomes.

Seeing the outcome, allows you to understand the enormity of what you did or are attempting to do. 

Humans are capable of great things. My grandson is a big air skier and is one of the best in his country for his age. The tricks he performs when he is in the air, never fail to amaze me and others. They start when he visualizes the event and the outcome. He then practices the event over and over again, until the events become part of his muscle memory.  My brother when he was younger was the fastest runner (middle distance) in our country in his age group. He practiced and worked hard, but when he ran he did not focus on the running he focused on the outcome. I was for a time the second fastest runner in my area but I focused on the mechanics and the events, I never learned to focus on the outcome, so although i was good, I never became great.

Great actors and athletes do not just enter an event, they work hard and never perform without practice, and a lot of rehearsal, The actor or the athlete, who are great, do not focus on the events they focus on the outcome.  Visualise outcomes to become great.
