What’s the difference between an average athlete and a world class Olympian, or your average working class person and someone with great wealth?  The answer is there is no one single factor.  But I will venture to say that one of the most prominent is desire and belief in the possibility to achieve.  How often have you come across someone really successful in life and thought, “eh, there’s really nothing special about them”?  Admittedly, I have done this a few times, until I learned about personal power and being a powerful creator.  What separates the good from the great is one’s ability to have a desire and hold a picture of that desire in their minds until it becomes a reality.  As a society, we have been conditioned to believe that hard work equals success.  I believe there is nothing further from the truth.  Not to say that having good work ethics is not important, it is.  But there are other factors that play a larger role in achieving our goals and dreams......... <a href='http://lotusessence.com/2009/04/21/the-power-of-visualization/' rel="nofollow">Read more</a></p>]]></description>
