Nelson Mandela spent 29 years in a tiny isolated prison cell where sunlight didn’t enter. After he was released, reporters asked him how he spent his time in that cell. He replied, “I dreamt. I dreamt of free South Africa. A South Africa where blacks are ruling and I am leading them.”

A mental image or monchobi is your vision or dream for your future. It is the picture of where you want to be. Every successful person started with a vision. Mental image is much more than idle day dreaming, it is the first step in the process of achieving something. Once you imprint the picture of where you want to be deep in your mind, your mind uses its power to direct you towards that goal like a self guided missile. It develops your talents and gradually makes you deserving of it. It helps you translate your talent into service, which is the secret to achieving prosperity.

Your vision has to be specific and come from the depths of your mind, where your mind touches your soul. If you are emotionally stirred by your vision, and believe that you will get to that place anyhow, than nothing can prevent you from getting there.

The best way to imprint your vision deep into your mind is meditation.
