- Abstract
Our civilization is nothing more than the sum of all dreams that earlier ages have brought to fulfillment. The renowned visionaries of the past understood that the reality of tomorrow awaits latent in the imagination of today and that the greatest achievements are at first and for a while a dream. Robert Goddard, the father of the American rocketry said that it is difficult to know what is impossible, because the dream of yesterday is the hard work of today and the reality of tomorrow. The honored visionaries that put man on the moon, flew spacecraft to the end of our galaxy and landed robots on Mars are the definite proof that what we see in our imagination and believe in our hearts, we can transform into reality. These leaders left behind something far more important than the innovations they developed in the process. They left behind a model of thinking that allowed them to transform the impossible into living and breathing realities. Through their dreams, enthusiasm and passion, through their failures, misfortunes and endurance, persistence and success, they opened our minds and hearts, so that we truly see and understand our own potential. All achievements are glaring evidence of an underlying process of thinking that can be observed, modeled and applied into your life to support you achieve your greatest goals. And what you become in the process of achieving your goals is far more important than what you get by achieving those goals. We fly across the oceans, we explore other planets and we travel deep into outer space, but beyond all these accomplishments, as human beings we are actually creating and climbing our vision of ourselves. It doesn’t matter if you are a kid, a student, a young professional or advanced in your career, just imagine for a moment how your life would be like if you overcame your fears, had more confidence in what you can accomplish, lived more purposefully and had the results you actually value and care about. What do you have in common with NASA leaders, rock stars, award winning space entrepreneurs, polar explorers, New York Times bestselling authors, Buddhist monks and the Angry Birds? What are the mind models of some of the best minds in the world and how can you apply the same processes to accomplish your greatest dreams in life? This paper offers you the answers.
