\nWhen you want something you cannot easily get right away, all you have to do is imagine<\/strong> having it.
\nNo, no, not in the “imagination-will-get-you-it” way (although that works more often than you think!)<\/em>
\nWhat you do is imagine you have it now<\/strong>.
\nImagine it under every<\/strong> circumstance. When you are at home, at work, at play.
\nWith friends, alone.
\nOn your way to<\/strong> somewhere, coming back from<\/strong> somewhere.
\nAll the time. In every setting. Everywhere.
\nAt most it takes a year to either burn-in<\/strong> or burn-out<\/strong> that desire.
\nThen you are sure!
\nI did this for a ‘mansion’ I was positive I wanted.
\nI imagined I was<\/strong> living in a mansion. All<\/strong> the time.
\nWhen I turned into the driveway of my townhouse I imagined I was turning into the driveway of my mansion.
\nWhen I went in the front door, it was the front door of the mansion. And so on.<\/p>\n
\nWhat a complete surprise!
\nWhen I finally had enough money to build a nice home, I built… not<\/strong> a mansion!
\nAnd am I ever glad that I did that imagine thing.<\/p>\n
\nAn airplane
\nLots of homes all over the world
\nA large yacht<\/p>\n
\nAnd what an easy way to see if you really do<\/strong> want it!
\nThe smaller the item the less time it typically takes to burn-in<\/strong> or burn-out<\/strong> that desire.<\/p>\n
