They use imagery to prepare themselves to get what they want out of training, to perfect skills within the training sessions, and to "see" themselves being successful. The refined imagery they have developed for running through skills and performances in their mind, is one which takes an "inside" view, as if actually doing the skill, and one which involves feeling the action and excitement, as if actually being there. Most of these athletes call up these inside images or perfect feelings before every attempt at executing a skill. It is interesting to note that these athletes did not initially have good control over their mental imagery. It was through persistent daily practice that they perfected these skills.

If all the people in the world suddenly 'disappeared', through some inexplicable reason, and you were left alone (perhaps with only your loved one and children remaining), would any one of you then really want to have 'lots of money', or a Ferrari, or a house 5 times bigger than you have now? Think about this carefully and, if your answer is 'NO', then our 'problem' with achieving happiness can be directly related to the fact that we NEED to 'prove ourselves' relatively to all others. We use 'others' as a yardstick to define our own successes... we have 'won' when we are higher up this stick... relative to 'others'. The ONLY KEY to true happiness is to measure yourself against a DIFFERENT kind of 'yardstick'. I do NOT say get rid of 'measuring yourself' because we are human beings and, as a 'social animal', it is natural to do so. When you surround yourselves with the kind of people who use 'money' (as an example) as a 'yardstick', you naturally bring yourself to 'compete' against this 'yardstick'. Many years ago I competed too. Working for blue-chip companies, driving the new BMW's.. this was my yardstick. Eventually i came to realise it was the people i surrounded myself with.. they used the same stick. And, you will remain UNHAPPY because you can never 'win' on this particular stick. I measure myself now with people who have really unfortunate lives and i realise, very quickly nowadays, that I am very fortunate. I get three meals a day and, if i can only afford one meal a day, then i am more fortunate than the person who eats one meal a week! I will also say i've never been happier in my life than I am now.. without the BMW and crippling mortgage! A thought for everyone…

I am an alumni of the course and this part of the course really made an impact on me and how I see happiness and how it's portrayed in the media. I can't say enough good statements about the course and if anyone felt that this article is good, I'd suggest looking at the book and audiobook (I'm a big fan of Professor Rao's booming "guru" voice" myself) to further explore this subject. Great article & great course in general....I wish everyone had access to this information.
