Use The Power Of Pictures In Your Heart

When he got married, Rudy was so poor, he couldn’t even buy an electric fan. He and his wife were renting a tiny room for P90 a month. And this tiny room got warm during summer, and without a fan, it got really hot.

But even in his poverty, Rudy believed in his dreams.

He was also a great believer in having pictures to remind him of his dreams.
So he did the ridiculous. He got a newspaper, cut out a photo of an electric fan, and pinned it on their wall. And each time he saw the photo, it reminded him of his great goal in life (at that time): That he’d be able to buy an electric fan for his beloved wife.

Whenever he saw beads of perspiration on her forehead, he’d go to the photo, and “press” the switch of the fan. He focused on his dream.

Four days later, Rudy heard a knock on the door.

When he opened it, he saw his neighbor holding an old electric fan. The neighbor said he was moving out and wondered if Rudy wanted to buy his old fan for P50.

Rudy was overjoyed. “Yes!” he said.

In four days, the real fan now the replaced the photo.

The next photo he pinned on the wall was a beautiful white van. Foolish, right? How in the world can a poor man who couldn’t even buy an electric fan now dream of buying a van?

But he kept on dreaming for that van and worked hard. The white van came. And so did the larger homes. Both here and
America.

Today, Rudy is a multi-millionaire. Because he had pictures that guided him through his journey….

Having photos work!

Hang In Your Heart Your Divine Self-Portrait

But I’m asking you not just to hang a photo of an electric fan on your wall.

Use the power of pictures for a more important task: Hang a photo of yourself in your heart—the kind of person God wants you to be in the future. Like Rudy, I want to you focus on that photo—your Self-Portrait—and dream big dreams.

See yourself as a holy person.

See yourself as a loving person.

See yourself as a successful person.

And see yourself as a “truly rich” person.

Redefine yourself. Now.
