What are some of the most common factors that may stop a person from achieving his or her goals?

Lack of self-belief, fear, the inability to activate their latent powers, and lack of awareness of the life-principle may stop a person from realizing his or her goals.

To believe something as true means we accept it.

Belief is the most common factor that stops a person from realizing his or her goals. Think of all the false ideas you have accepted about yourself and you will see how you built your prison and sentenced yourself to failure, lack, and limitation.

Why do we accept ideas like:

"I'll never be financially secure. I can’t make ends meet."

"I am not smart enough and I don’t have the right connections."

"I'll always be fat and anyway I am just not good enough."

"They said there’s no cure."

"I'm not smart enough. I feel like a loser. I am sure it will fail."

"I’m too old; no one is going to want to hire me."

Many of us fortify these negative messages with our self-talk and daily conversations and we don’t even know we're doing it. Yet we reject new messages of approval, hope, acceptance, and love because they don’t fit our error patterns and negative self-image. Did you know that your ability to attract the fulfillment of your dreams becomes possible when you have a strong belief in yourself and feel capable of achieving your dream regardless of appearances?

One negative message/ belief can paralyze a person. Once fear is in control it can keep you from taking action and moving forward in any area of your life. When we have beliefs fueled by love, courage, confidence, hope, and gratefulness we have opened the doors of life to a greater awareness and possibility. Courage rises above fear.

It is important for all of us to think about that for a second.

How 'powerful' is the power of imagination?

Before anything can be created by anyone it must first be imaged, pictured, imagined. What you imagine you become and what you feel you attract so I would say that imagination is extremely underestimated and very powerful. The person of imagination sees what their outer senses deny. Everything you see in the physical world is a projection of someone’s mental image and blueprint. All things are brought forth through the creative use of imagination.

Who is the target audience for your program?

Every person who has a desire to fulfill their dreams, and advance spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially, professionally, socially, and personally. My work is for the person who wants to learn how to retrain their imagination, apply spiritual laws and live in tune with the living spirit and achieve their goals.

Tell us a bit about your audio program, "Power of Imagination", as well as your various other works in ebook and CD forms.

Excellent interview. Ms Zollo's comments are inspiring and thought provoking.

Well done. It seems alot of us would benefit if we would re-train our imagination and learn how to focus on our dreams instead of our fears. I enjoyed reading it.

#3 — May 12, 2008 @ 13:08PM — Ray

Very interesting. I guess I've had ideas like this but never had them expressed in words that I can use as a program. Thanks.

Melissa hits the nail on the head. Her method seems to be different from the other "secrets" out there, in that she explains exactly what we must do to get results. I want to know more. Thanks.

The article offers new insights into the use of spiritual laws and inspired me to want to bring myself into harmony with my deeper power.
