Do you know that most of the time you think in pictures rather than in words?  If I say the word giraffe, a picture of a giraffe pops into your mind.  If I say the word mother-in-law, you don't see a word travel across the motion picture screen of your mind.  Instead, you see a picture of your mother-in-law in all of her glory.  When you describe an event, you attempt to create a mental picture so other people can visualize what actually happened.

Your brain isn't very interested in looking at words.  It wants to see pictures because that's they way the brain works best.  A book without pictures is boring in comparison with one full of colored illustrations.  The difference is that the book with pictures speaks the language of the mind.  It's difficult to capture the hearts and minds of people using nothing but text.  That's one reason why children fall asleep while reading text books, but the same child can read illustrated comic books for hours on end without the slightest fatigue.  The comic book speaks the language of the mind much better than the text book.

If you want to communicate with people, show them a picture.  If you don't have a picture, tell them about it in such a way that you paint a picture in their mind.  If they can see it in their mind, they will get the message.

If you want to communicate with your brain, show it a picture, and your mind will instantly receive the message.  That's why the Third Law of Focus is so important.  It recognizes that your mind thinks in pictures whenever it can, and that pictures are the most powerful component of the language of the mind.  Positive images work wonders, so send your mind a positive message by filling it with pictures of your dreams.

All of my books and web sites contain Power Graphics because I want them to speak the language of the mind.  I use the Power Graphics to create a positive focus in my reader's mind.

When I sailed around the world on my yacht, I took thousands of photographs that I now share with others on my web sites.  On each picture, I write a positive message that goes straight into the viewer's mind.  If you want to fill your mind with positive images, go to my web site PositiveGraphics.com and push your mind in a positive direction.
