Last month I posted an article called…

How to Unleash Your Superhuman Mind Powers

Many people wrote to me and thanked me for it. They said it was inspiring and motivating.

I’m glad!  That’s the whole purpose of this blog!  To get you — and me — thinking of accomplishing the impossible.

Please stay tuned, I have many more interesting articles and tidbits of information coming in the weeks and months ahead.

Anyway …you may recall that I also posted a follow-up video about a totally blind painter from Turkey named Esref Armagan.

In case you missed the video showcasing his amazing powers, go here.

In addition to all of the positive feedback about the Amazing Mind Powers article, I also received a lot of questions about another one of the “stars” of that article…

…”Wim Hof” (pronounced “Vim” Hof) — the ICE MAN.

To briefly summarize…..

The ICE MAN has the ability to withstand extreme cold temperatures — temperatures which would incapacitate or even kill most people.

He’s able to control his internal body temperature using merely his “thoughts”.

But that’s not all…

The ICE MAN has the extraordinary power to heal his body.

During a barefoot run in the Arctic Circle (which you’ll soon see), he suffered severely frostbitten toes. The doctor told him they would have to amputate.

He didn’t like that option (in fact, he didn’t even take the advice seriously).

The ICE MAN simply *willed* his dead frozen toes back to life.

AMAZING!!

Check out the video and then please read my 3 Lessons to Learn below…

============================
3 Lessons to Learn from the ICE MAN
============================

As you watched the video, I hope you noticed the following 3 REVEALING things about the ICE MAN…

LESSON #1-  Attitude is Everything

The ICE MAN has a great attitude!  At around 7 minutes into the video you see him and his doctor discussing the possibility of severe damage to his toes caused by the extreme cold temperatures.

She asks him if he wants to continue.  He says “Yes” in the most confident and nonchalant way.

=> Clearly, your attitude is one of the most critical factors in your success of failure.

In my opinion — when it comes to getting results,  it’s important to realize that attitude is everything!

This applies to ANY of your goals, whether it’s physical, mental, educational, financial, or spiritual.

The way you look at the world affects how you feel, your health, your relationships and every other aspect of your day-to-day existence.

“Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.”
~ John N. Mitchell

If you see the world as a friendly place, it will be.  If you view the world as hostile, guess what?  It will certainly be an unfriendly and malevolent place for you.

Your attitude is also a powerful unseen force which has a profound effect on others.

A positive attitude invites and attracts good luck and makes life an interesting game and a thrilling adventure.

And attitude counts far more, to help us succeed, than ability or talent, or even brilliance or genius.

And YOU control your attitude by your thoughts!

Take it from the ICE MAN – it’s absolutely essential to maintain a positive mental attitude at every opportunity.

 

LESSON #2 – Meditation & Visualization are Critical to Success

Although you don’t see too much of it on this video clip, the ICE MAN uses meditation and visualization as a way to harness his extraordinary mental powers.

If you’re not meditating or visualizing on a regular basis — then you aren’t doing all you can to succeed in life …period.

One of the most effective ways to re-program your subconscious mind is by meditating and visualizing on a consistent basis, preferably daily.

If you’ve been a student of self improvement for as long as I have, then you already know how important meditation and visualization are for:

* reducing stress,
* promoting health,
* creating abundance
* achieving higher states of consciousness
* producing optimal thoughts,
* and more…

And since the brain is the tool you use to create thought, you must learn how to harness and re-direct your brain’s incredible powers.

You must be able to shift your state of mind into optimal patterns of thinking and consciousness.

It is in these optimal mind states where magic and miracles can happen.

“The subconscious mind is the universal mind — the God mind — where all power dwells and where all things are possible.”
~ Frank Tibolt

Do you know a lot about positive thinking, the law of attraction, hypnosis, goal-setting, affirmations and other self-improvement aids?

Are things still not working out the way you want them to?

Then perhaps you need to unleash your INNER GREATNESS by sticking to a plan of regular meditation and visualization.

LESSON #3 – View Problems & Challenges as Your “Friends”

At the end of the video, the ICE MAN refers to the cold has his friend.  He states ..

“The cold is my friend.  Why wouldn’t I go back to my friend?  I will always go back to my friend.”

I am convinced…

The only way to defeat problems and overcome challenges is to make them your friends.

Welcome all of your difficult problems. That cuts their size in half.

Nature’s purpose for throwing challenges and obstacles in your way is not to torment you, but to force you to grow.

Growth demands that you do something harder than you ever did before.

Tough problems build tough people; easy problems, soft people.

If you want to succeed …learn to see your problems and challenges as allies and opportunities instead of enemies.

 ”Every adversity, every failure, every heartache, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” ~Napoleon Hill

I just recently read somewhere that when you learn to love something — even if it’s something you’ve never liked in the past — it’s burden and effect on you dissipates …oftentimes almost instantly.

It’s obvious that the Ice Man can easily deal with the cold because he has learned to love and appreciate it.

I challenge you to befriend your obstacles and challenges. Doing so may add a whole new positive dimension to your life.

You may even surprise yourself…

It’s All in Your Mind

As we have seen from these and other amazing people with extraordinary mind powers — your true source of power is in your own mind — with your thoughts.

Many people feel that the answers to their problems will come from having more money, a better economy, a new government or something else outside of themselves.

Not true…

Your mind and your thinking has EVERYTHING to do with how your life ultimately turns out.

The thoughts you are having right now are the seeds you are planting for the future.  So be careful.

Learn to control your thoughts and you will undoubtedly have control of your life.

Christmas always reminds me of what I believe is one of the most powerful life-changing stories of all time…

…Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (which incidentally was published exactly 165 years ago today, December 19th, 1843).

As you probably know,  A Christmas Carol is the story of a wealthy and bitter, old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge.

If you recall the story, Mr Scrooge holds everything other than money in contempt, including love, friendship and the Christmas season itself.

He’s just a ‘cranky and nasty old codger‘, as they say.

But all is not lost because Mr. Scrooge undergoes a profound, life-altering experience over the course of one night (and I highlight one night here because it’s very important as you’ll soon see).

Ebenezer Scrooge’s entire life is literally transformed for the better in an instant because of his encounter with three spirits: The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come.

While each of the three Ghosts play a vital role in Mr. Scrooge’s transformation, it is The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come who has the most impact.

This last spirit frightens Scrooge more than the others, and shows him a vision of a future Christmas in which a rich miser, whose death saddens nobody and whose home and corpse have been robbed by ghouls.

“Ghost of the Future,” exclaimed Scrooge, “I fear you more than any specter I have seen. But as I know your purpose is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, and do it with a thankful heart. Will you not speak to me?” ~ A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens

When the Ghost reveals that this is the fate that awaits Scrooge himself, Ebenezer weeps profusely and swears to change himself for the better and ultimately does.

Mr Scrooge goes on to gain a reputation as a kind and generous man who embodies the spirit of Christmas; love, peace and goodwill to all.

What a wonderful story of redemption, wouldn’t you say?

“Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.” ~ Oren Arnold

Self-Help Lesson and Technique

In addition to all of the wonderful insights and sentiments about the Christmas holiday, Charles Dickens’ classic story also encompasses a very important lesson and related technique that we can all use to change our lives for the better.

Let’s take a quick look at what they are shall we?

Important Lesson:

Change can (and often does) happen in an instant

Ebenezer’s life — especially his thoughts — changed in the course of one night.

…And so can yours (it’s no secret that if you want to change your circumstances, you must first change your thinking).

When a person undergoes a positive change in his or her life, there is usually a specific turning point which marks the transition from an old way of thinking to a new one.

In an article I wrote a couple of months ago, I called this instant of change The Tipping Point.

What exactly is the tipping point?

“It’s when a person acquires the impetus for sudden change. It’s the point where possibility begins to turn into reality.”

And this sudden change is usually brought about by a dramatic or emotional event (which, by the way,  you can “trick” your mind into experiencing as you’ll soon discover).

Author Frank Tibolt explained it like this:

“The most valuable thing that can come into anyone’s life is that book, that proverb, that experience, that person, that emergency or incident that introduces a man to his or her inner unknown powers.”

For Ebenezer Scrooge, the vision of seeing the misery and loneliness of his future life was enough to change him literally overnight.

We can all do the same thing.

Each of us can summon the power of The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

How?

=> By meeting your future self just like Ebenezer Scrooge did.

Meet Your Future Self

Charles Dickens’ story describes a very powerful NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) technique known as Future Pacing.

It involves looking at your future life in two ways:

1. By the consequences of your present actions and;
2. From the vantage point of how you would like your life to be.

Personally, I like to focus on meeting my future self from the perspective of how I would like my life to be instead of the opposite — but I suggest you try Part 1 at least once and then briefly think about it on occasion.

Here’s how it works…

Part 1 (this should be done infrequently)

=> Imagine yourself at a future point in time looking back over your life having NOT achieved your goals.

=> Experience the PAIN of loss and regret just like Mr. Scrooge did.

=> Use these feelings and the visuals that go along with them to drive yourself towards accomplishing your goals.

“The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you’re in control of your life. If you don’t, life controls you.”
~ Tony Robbins

Part 2 (I like to do this part every day).

=> Imagine your life exactly the way you’d like it to be. This can be accomplished through visualization or meditation.

=> Fast forward to the future. Pick a future point in your life where things are exactly the way you’d like them to be.  This could be tonight, tomorrow, next week, next month or next year.  The future time period is entirely up to you.

=> Have a meeting. Imagine having a meeting with your future self.

=> Take notice of your future self. Notice how your future self looks (happy, fit, strong, wealthy, etc.) Imagine your future self being totally confident and thrilled to meet you.

=> Ask your future self for advice. Ask your future self what you need to do today to start heading in the right direction.  If it’s money that you seek, ask your future self to give you the ideas or steps necessary to acquire it.  If you’re looking for the perfect mate, see this person seated next to your future self and ask what steps you need to take to meet him or her.

=> Listen for clues.  Oftentimes ideas will start popping into your head from your subconscious mind.  Be alert to any and all possibilities.

=> Act fast.  Be sure to implement the ideas that have merit. These ideas could potentially change your entire life around.

Meeting your future self is important because it helps you to change your self-image.  If you can change your self-image, you can change your world.

“Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.” ~ Maxwell Maltz

Your Self Image: Friend or Foe?

One of the most important discoveries of the last 100 years is the discovery of the self-image.

Whether we realize it or not, each of us carries around a mental picture of ourselves.   Most of us aren’t even aware of it.

But rest assured, the self-image plays a huge role in our success or failure in life.

All of your actions, feelings, behaviors — even your financial situation — is goverened by your self-image.

For example, the only reason why you don’t have the income you really desire is because deep, down inside you don’t see yourself as someone who earns that kind of money.

You are literally programmed to earn a certain amount of money; nothing more, nothing less.

You may have a goal to earn a few million dollars a year, but your self image is preventing you from achieving it.

Interestingly, you may come up with several million dollar ideas every single week (you’d be surprised how many people do).

Unfortunately, your self image may be depositing negative thoughts into your mind such as…

“I’m not smart enough to do that…”

“I’ve never generated that kind of money before and probably never will…”

“I haven’t struggled enough or put in my dues yet…”

“I don’t have the resources to do that.”

“I’m too busy..”

“I don’t have the time…”

…and a million other self-talk statements that have the power to stop you dead in your tracks.

And…you probably don’t even know you’re having these thoughts!!

 

Donald Trump is worth a few billion because his self-image is set to earning a few hundred million dollars each year.

What’s your self-image income level set to?

In essence, your self image causes you to act like the person you think you are instead of the person you could become.

This is why it is so important to meet your positive future self as often as possible.

By meeting your future self on a regular basis, you will provide yourself with the visuals and programming necessary to overcome limited thinking.

And as in Ebenezer Scrooge’s case, you may even begin to see changes immediately.

So have fun and meet your future self!

If you want your life to stay the same, keep thinking what you’re thinking and keep doing what you’re doing.

If you want your life to change, have a meeting with your future self today.
