    T. Mullen

    T. Mullen was born in sunny St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and then moved to the suburbs north of Chicago, where he lived until he was seven. His family then moved to Ireland, which became home base for the next eighteen years. He studied architectural and civil engineering as well as business administration and spent fifteen years working outside the U.S. as a consultant regarding water resource and environmental projects in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Spending half his life in the U.S. and half outside influenced the topics Mullen writes about - including travel, history, and cultural clashes. He has written several magazine articles related to environmental issues and has also written a few books, including Wine and Work - People Loving Life, as well as Rivers of Change - Trailing the Waterways of Lewis and Clark.

      Visual Magic - T. Mullen

      ONE

      Visual Magic Overview

      As a child I wanted to encounter magic - not illusions from entertainers or tricks found in gimmick stores, but the real deal. I was told that magic was fictitious, and shelved that dream. Decades later I discovered that aspects of magic – the ability to bend the fabric of reality – exist.

      By harnessing techniques to tap into this ‘magic,’ I began wishing for things that subsequently happened. I closed both eyes and envisioned the approximate week and month when an ideal job would be offered – then received a telephone call and offer on time. I was given salaries and desired positions. When I was assigned projects to manage, they were routinely completed ahead of schedule and under budget, even though staff worked reasonable hours in an easy-going office atmosphere. Older supervisors with decades more experience scratched their heads because this reality did not match with their expectations. I used techniques explained in this book to navigate a successful career throughout Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the US – ensuring that projects ran smoothly.

      During these years I learned that we can lull our minds into semi-hypnotic states and suspend disbelief – then cultivate relaxed expectations capable of altering the fabric of reality and coaxing desired success into our lives.

      If this sounds too far out or ‘new age’ to you, then send me an email and I’ll refund what you paid for this book. Otherwise, read on – but I suggest you maintain an open mind.

      Magic exists. But to tap into its powers we have to disregard skeptics, banish the lazy lure of clutching onto negative attitudes, jettison the practice of sidling up to supposed ‘friends’ who happily commiserate with angst, hostility, anger or hopelessness – and instead begin to cultivate expectations of success.

      The gist of this book is that the key to successfully completing projects comes first, and most importantly, from creatively imagining their completion before they begin.

      The advice provided here is valid for completing multimillion dollar technical contracts, or ten dollar personal home improvement projects. It can help solve problems in your personal life, increase your sense of freedom, boost your wealth and alter your reality so that your free time and serenity increase while you gain greater control of the daily events in your life. The techniques and suggestions in this book meld personal and universal energies, letting you achieve more in life while, paradoxically, putting in less effort.

      If you can accept and test notions explained in this text with an open mind, your life may start changing in ways you never dreamed possible. Rather than marveling at the success of others who seem to possess incredible ‘luck,’– you will become that person.

      The basic techniques highlighted here are simple, but take practice to master. Slow and steady wins this race. Each failure should be regarded as a lesson. When the movie director M. Night Shyamalan was young, he borrowed about $700,000 from his friends and family to make a movie. After he was finished, the movie made a profit of approximately $7,000. Did he give up after this initial failure? Hardly. He went on to write and direct successful films that included The Sixth Sense, and Signs.

      Real success comes from living the life we are brave enough to choose and deriving satisfaction from service provided to others. The techniques described here can help realize such success. Though the primary method is simple and powerful, your life will only change after you begin altering your mental expectations. The most magnificent successes come to those who, at some point in their lives, accept the challenge to transform a huge ‘no’ into a resounding ‘yes.’ By doing this they learn how pliable the universe becomes in the presence of persistence and belief. Those who learn the skill of cultivating expectations of success can harvest amazing dividends.

      This book was written specifically for completing projects. But the advice applies to all aspects of life. If you move toward executing challenging projects, you will exercise the faith, persistence and self confidence required to modify other aspects of your life.

      A Tool for Success

      Watch What You Aim For

      A couple I knew met with habitual success. During weekends they flew their private airplane to a cabin they built on several hundred acres of gorgeous New Mexican land. They each worked only twenty hours a week to manage a successful business, took months of vacation each year and appeared happy and prosperous. When I spent time with them one summer, their secret became apparent. When obstacles appeared, they rapidly identified opportunities these presented. When problems loomed, they discerned solutions. Their minds stayed focused on moving toward what they wanted in their lives, rather than on problems that might hinder attaining them. They looked beyond whatever difficulties arose to see only their desired goals.

      This way of regarding the world reminded me of a friend’s explanation in Colorado of how to ski through groves of evergreen trees without hitting any. Look at the open spaces, instead of at the trees, he explained.

      We tend to move toward what we look at, which is usually the most prominent image ahead. Researchers have shown that drivers veer slightly in the direction of oncoming headlights – the brightest presence in their fields of view. Just as my friends blazed a trail of success by focusing beyond obstacles toward achievement, we navigate toward desired outcomes by keeping our ‘eyes on the prize.’

      The key to real accomplishment lies in first considering what you want to achieve. After you decide you create a mental image of where you want to head – an end result, completed project, or goal to attain. This visualization of the end point moves us toward our desires
