We are striving to find our real selves not a fabricated one.  We oftentimes short change ourselves and feel that we are inferior because of certain something or another.  Maltz argues that there is no such thing as a superiority complex because someone who feels superior is most likely covering their own inferiority about something.  We must escape our own self sabotage by envisioning where we want to be using a visualization exercise through a mental movie we talked about.

Focus vividly and concretely in your mind where you want to be in life.  Sometimes it is easier to have your image projected on a movie screen that you are watching.  Then for 30 minutes a day watch this movie and fill in all the details so that it becomes seemingly reality.  Rather than force of will (which is our conscious mind), use your imagination so that your unconscious mind will begin to take over and effortlessly fulfill what you desire to be.  Creating the right self image means first eliminating all of your false beliefs.   More about that coming up.
