The way we can do this is by developing our six mental factors. These six mental faculties largely control what and how information goes into our consciousness. These faculties are Perception, reason, imagination, will, intuition and memory.Becoming aware of how we currently use these faculties and then consciously changing them will allow us to choose what we think and ultimately our results.

Perception
Perception is that ability we have to see our world.Its not what we look at but what we see. This explains that even though we may be in the same situation as another person, while all they see and focus on is limitations we can choose to look at and dwell on only the possibilities. Whatever we focus on will grow in our experience.There is a natural law called the law of polarity, It states that everything we see or feel has an opposite.The one cannot exist without the other.So if we see something negative in our lives that means there must be something positive about it.The law of polarity also states that through our perception we choose which of these possibilites to focus on… So what is it that you are choosing ?

The will
The will, this is the faculty that allows us to focus our attention on one thing, to the exclusion of all else. The will is like a magnifying glass, it channels our attention and energy toward a particular goal or outcome. In doing so we can choose to focus on what we are creating and ignore all other disturbances in our environment. Emerson said, “The only thing that can grow is that to which you give energy to.” Using your will properly will ensure you are giving energy to those things that help you grow and achieve your goals, not to the things which are easy but get no results.

Reason
The next faculty to understand is reason. This is a conscious faculty we use to think.Reason gives you the ability to choose our thoughts. In the book mans search for meaning by Victor Franckl who endured and survived torture in a Nazi death camp wrote “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way” Thinking is the highest faculty we as humans possess. So the next time someone accepts conditions in their life and  tells you that is just the way it is. Think about it and decide for yourself…

In the next post I will be discussing the other three mental faculties:the imagination, intuition and memory.

Intuition
This is the factor in us that allows us to tune into another persons vibration. We can feel their “vibe” so to speak. This mental faculty allows us to pick up the emotional feeling tone of another. Married couples would have experience with this. You can tell when your spouse is in a funk, even if they say everything is OK. The words are noise and the vibration never lies. Our intuition allows us to make decisions based on gut feel.
We can develop our intuitive factor just as we can any muscle in our body. We have been conditioned to believe that women have intuition and men don’t. This is false, as men we have been taught to suppress this emotional guidance system. We are conditioned to be macho and not express emotions. Men and women both have intuition and we can all start improving on it by tuning in to our emotions and what thy tell us about a particular person or situation

Imagination
Napoleon Hill stated, “The imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has ever known.”
Einstein said “The imagination is more powerful than knowledge”

Our imagination is totally unlimited, It can image an endless amount of possibilities for our lives. For most of us our imagination is largely unused or we use our imagination and create amazing fantasies and then don’t take action to realize them.Everything around us from the computer you’re reading this on to the internet and the Ipad were all created in the imagination first. Our ability to imagine our life as we want it is an amazing asset.The subconscious mind(which silently controls our life) cannot tell the difference between a real event and one that is vividly imagined. In the book psycho cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, he gives countless examples of professionals, from Jack Nicklaus the golfer to astronauts  preparing for missions in space who use imagination practice to simulate an action BEFORE they do it in reality. He states that we must have a clear picture of ourselves performing the action successfully. This imagination practice can be more important that form or swing dynamics he adds.

This is just one example of the immense power we have locked up in our imagination. How can you stimulate your imagination to create a life that inspires you. Take a look at the people who have succeeded in the past.You will see that they had a vivid picture of their life and business the way they wanted it long before they created it in reality.
