Mindset Mastery 57 – Exemplary Dreamers
As if Copernicus and Columbus were not proof enough, we have more examples of dreamers who rose above cynicism to bring the world great things and enjoy great success in life.
Dreamers Become The World’s Best Doers
Henry Ford, poor and uneducated, dreamed of a horseless carriage, went to work with whatever tools he had, without waiting for opportunity to turn in his favor, and now evidence of his dream is everywhere on earth. He set more wheels turning than any man who ever lived, because he was not afraid to back his dreams.
Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamp that would run on electricity, began where he stood to put his dream into action, and despite more than ten thousand failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality. Practical dreamers do not quit!
The Wright brothers dreamed of a machine that would fly through the air. Now the evidence of their sound belief and success crosses the world over countless times every day.
Marconi, father of the modern radio which has burgeoned in so many useful and entertaining ways, dreamed of a system for harnessing the intangible forces in the atmosphere. Evidence that he did not dream in vain can be found in every radio, television, and wireless device. Moreover, Marconi’s dream brought the smallest shack and the largest mansion side by side. It made the people of every nation on earth back-door neighbors. It gave the leaders of every nation an immediate means for reaching out to their citizens.
It may interest you to know that Marconi’s “friends” had him taken into custody and examined in a psychiatric hospital when he announced to them that he had discovered a principle that he could use to send messages through the air, without the aid of wires, or other direct physical means of communication. Luckily for us, today’s dreamers fare much better.
What Do You Have To Lose?
You have nothing to lose, everything to gain. Your fate will not be so severe as being committed for insanity simply because you dare to dream a better life. The worst that could happen is not so bad indeed, and should certainly not be the impediment to your success.

Hey Sean,
I believe having a dream is the key to success! 12 months ago I did a powerful exercise and wrote down the top 100 things that I wanted to experience in my life time. Each day I visualise those things as if I have already achieved them and feel the emotion. I have been able to tick many of those things off my list this year and have had the most amazing 12 months of my entire life! If we combine our dreams with visualisation and emotion then it creates an incredible attraction toward our goals.
Cheers, Brad :o)

In your book the Secret Law of Attraction, it’s mentioned in the pages 44 - 46 about acting in a certain way, I can’t quite grasp what is trying to be suggested, could you enlighten me as I’m getting frustated ‘cos I don’t know what to do.

Acting in a “Certain Way”
Let’s see if I can simplify it:
Act like you think.
Act as if you already have what you manifest for yourself.
Act like you are living the way you would if you had already succeeded in reaching your dreams.
Act like you are already there: Success is now.
Dreams = Thoughts = Actions = Reality
