Zyn’s Reviews > The Magic of Thinking Big > Status Update

I loved David’s extrapolation of his main point being -> ‘You are what you think you are’.. I loved his examples concerning the three brick layers and their attitudes/frequencies being midwived through their actions and just how much of a difference It’ll make. Or.. even the most recent example concerning Groups B & A of employees and how the more constructive attitude always wins out. Great examples again!

I loved David’s explanation of you are who you KNOW you are… nothing more, nothing less. I loved how he explained how some individuals attain respect from others as they know that, internally, they deserve respect. Additionally, I loved how I can connect this to the impending fact that ‘as within, so without.’ I loved his last point, pointing to the fact that your appearance says a lot to others about you.

Great book so far.. David is sharing his ideas on how to think and dream creatively through stimulation. I loved the example he used when it came to the man who attended the luncheon… for stimulation from the speaker regarding a 5-acre lot… and put that stimulation and materialized it by buying a worn out farm land, dividing it up into 10 lots, and profiting $19600 or today -> over 200000 in 6 weeks… very nice

I got to pg 112, and I can say that the ideas here are quite practical. Now, although I do indeed alter them with my knowledge of metaphysics (as it trumps all), the examples that David uses are actually quite good… and I like how he uses friends of his from different industries to describe indirectly how these ideas/concepts can be applied absolutely anywhere.

The book as it is now is pretty good, I learnt a lot about David’s opinions on focusing more on why you ‘can’ rather than ‘can’t’.. the benefits of doing so, the reason why it is the only thing worthy of your concentration, etc. In my humble opinion… rather than concentrating on ‘why you can’ do a certain thing.. focus your energy on the fact that ‘you have already done’ and only one path remain

In what I’ve read today which turned out to almost be a third of a the book completed.. zI learnt about David’s view of Self-Worth, on adding value and still maintaining that particular level of self-worth despite present circumstances. Listen, although it’s a fair way to go about things, instead of believing in the future, simply KNOW in the NOW by reconditioning the subconscious into believing you have it now

In this particular part of the book, I got a little reminder from the book to look at things not as you see them in reality, though beyond the constraints of this third dimensional realm. Inside this third dimensional realm, this illusionary realm, it is the world of affect; cause… and therefore to look at things solely as they are is too humanistic. Think like the Universe, and you’ll get the benefits of align

Short read as of late, though what I’ve taken from what I have read is a simple but quite nice reminder on how to use ‘Positive Mind Images’ to induce positivity/Motivation/Excitement into not only yourself but others. Alongside techniques on speaking to others, the section of the book I’m reading is an incredibly useful guide when it comes to leading a group of people. I’m looking it so far!

I’ve read a fair amount, though not a whole lot. What I can say is that I’ve come across a unique concept which I was aware of, but never seen it put it out to words and that is the ‘mind pictures’ David J Schwartz speaks of readily. I find it interesting how he explains it, and how great leaders portray positive/hopeful mind pictures into both themselves and their compatriots in order to boost morale. Nice!

Just finished chapter 3: Build Confidence and Destroy Fear, and although it does focus on doing.. it’s definitely validating a lot of things a valuable man such as I do naturally… speak up more often, walk faster, centralize energy towards positive wins, and emotionally-charge only positive thoughts… yield a frequency filled with conviction to materialize a ‘self-certain’ reality. All in all, quite nice.
