In our search for ways to achieve our goals in personal development, many people find success through using the techniques of visualization and affirmations.
Marc Allen, in a video of just over 11 minutes in length, talks about some of the ways he has achieved his dreams.
He explores a number of the techniques for self-realization that he used and continues to use, and answers some common questions.
- Why don’t more people achieve success?
- Setting and achieving goals
- Overcoming doubts and fears
- The power of affirmations
- When and how should we affirm?
- The power of our subconscious
- How negative or limited thinking interferes with our achieving our goals
- How to stay on course with your goals and aspirations
- The power of the Internet
Here’s the link to the video in which Marc shares his views on why “The power of our minds is incredible.”

None of us is entitled, nor likely expects, to enjoy a life free of problems and major challenges, but it would be a relief and make us more effective if, while experiencing the normal difficulties of existence, we could be largely free of worry and anxiety.
Some problems in life are so life-altering or threatening that we cannot escape a significant emotional impact, such as the death of a loved one, a catastrophic illness, a sudden physical disability, or possible financial ruin.
But for many of our problems, even major ones, it may be possible to replace worry, fear, and anxiety with their less crippling emotional cousin, namely, the emotional and intellectual quality of “concern.”
An endless cycle of worrying, visiting “our problem” again and again, playing an eternal loop of regret of the past and/or foreboding about the future is destructive and counter-productive.
Conversely, concern about a problem implies a moderated approach coupled with the important ingredient of action, of goal-directed activity.
In fact it is the quality of action that helps turn worry into concern, because it is the beginning of finding a solution to our problems.
Not suggesting anything here that we don’t already know, if only intuitively.
But we do need to constantly remind ourselves that worry in itself does not move us forward, rather it paralyzes us, eventually making us go backwards.
I’m still learning on this particular internal journey.
