If you don’t think the eyes are the door to the brain, why do you think people watch television five hours a day?  Why do you think there are hundreds of cable television channels?  Why do you think Hollywood makes so many movies?  Why do you think there are stores selling only videos?  Why do advertisers spend billions of dollars on clever TV commercials?  Why are there millions of billboards littering the highways?  Why do they make music videos rather than just sell audiocassettes and CDs?  All of these enterprises exist for only one reason.  What you look at expands.

The business world, news media, and government know that what you look at expands.  They try to manipulate you with images created by them so their agenda expands into your mind.  They want to hijack your mind and fly it to their destination.

Whether you realize it or not, you are a STICBOP.  What is a STICBOP?  It’s an acronym that means you are Susceptible To Images Created By Other People.  That is why advertising bombards you with thousands of enticing images.  They know you are a STICBOP, and they will use every image imaginable to sell things to you.

Fortunately, you are also a STICBY.  What is a STICBY?  It is an acronym that means you are Susceptible To Images Created By Yourself.  The fact that you are a STICBY is excellent news.  You are susceptible to any positive image you show to your mind.  You can transform you life by putting positive images on the motion picture screen of your mind.  You can take a picture of your dreams and deposit it straight into your memory banks.

I am massively susceptible to the images I put on the motion picture screen of my mind.  I continually use this susceptibility to push my mind in the direction of my dreams.  I surround myself with pictures of my dreams.  I have pictures of Land Rover trucks, Hummers, and catamarans on the walls of the room where I do my writing.  I keep photo albums of my yacht at my bedside.  I have videos of my sailing adventures.  I have thousands of pictures of expeditions in the Arabian Desert.  I display copies of my book covers where I can see them as I write.  I bombard myself with the images of my dreams because I am a STICBY.  I am grateful the advertising industry showed me how to advertise my dreams to myself.  There is no doubt about it.  What I look at expands.

You should show pictures of your dreams to yourself three hundred and sixty five days a year.  You should advertise your dreams to yourself many times each day.  You should have a library of inspirational graphics you can flip through to instantly put positive thoughts into your mind.

Can you use positive pictures and graphics to install a Positive Operating System?  Absolutely!  In fact, pictures are one of the fastest and easiest ways of pushing your mind in a positive direction.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and positive pictures are weapons of mass destruction when you use them in the battle against depression; they effortlessly blow mood disorders out of your mind.  They are easy to use, and you can use them again and again without losing their power.

Positive pictures not only blow negative thoughts out of your mind, they also replace those negative thoughts with positive ones.  That’s one of the great advantages positive pictures have over other types of therapy.  Most types of therapy are designed to only eliminate the negative, but they don’t take you the rest of the way and fill your mind with positive things.  You end up with a mental vacuum and negative thoughts quickly return to fill the empty space.

Positive pictures don’t leave a vacuum after they blow away your negative thoughts; instead, the positive pictures move in and take over.  It’s substantially easier to have a consistently positive mind when the motion picture screen of your mind is full of pictures of your dreams.  It’s much harder for negative thoughts to bully you and push your thoughts in a depressing direction.

On my trip around the world on my yacht, I took thousands of photographs that I transformed into Power Graphics. Every time I look at those pictures, I instantly feel their powerful message pushing my mind in a positive direction.  When negative thoughts come to pay a visit, the only thing they see is a no vacancy sign hanging on the door of my mind.  They aren’t welcome, and there’s no room for them because my mind is full of positive things.

How do you install a Positive Operating System?  It’s easy when you use Power Graphics to push your mind in a positive direction.

All five of my books contain Power Graphics that speak the language of the mind.  They are designed so you can quickly flip through them whenever you need a quick mental boost.
