I'LL PICTURE MYSELF SUCCEEDING (2:39)

CHORUS (SUNG TWICE)
I'll picture myself succeeding when it's help with my goals I am needing;
and then, in everything I do, all my best can come shining through.

I'll picture myself succeeding when it's help with my goals I am needing;
and then, in everything I do, all my best can come shining through.

(1)
Whatever the goal I want to reach,
I'll clearly see myself succeeding in my mind.
That helps me focus my energy on getting there
so what I picture can come true in time.

CHORUS
I'll picture myself succeeding
when it's help with my goals I am needing;
and then, in everything I do,
all my best can come shining through.

(2)
When a problem comes up for me to solve
I'll get in touch with my emotions and my dreams
I'll turn my feelings into helpful words,
If we connect with each other, our success rate will be higher, and...

CHORUS
I'll picture myself succeeding
when it's help with my goals I am needing;
and then, in everything I do,
all my best can come shining through.

(INSTRUMENTAL: "Use this time to picture yourself being successful at something that is important to you.")

CHORUS
I'll picture myself succeeding
when it's help with my goals I am needing;
and then, in everything I do, all my best can come shining through.
And then, in everything I do, all my best can come shining through.


Think and Share Invitations
* What does success look like to you? Think and share about something at which you very much want to succeed ...
something you want to be able to do or achieve... a goal which is important to you.
* Next, create in your mind a video, seeing yourself moving towards your goal -- or goals -- and, finally, having success, and celebrating. You may wish to close your eyes as you run the video through your mind.
* Afterwards, share what you've been seeing in your video.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a wealth of information available online regarding how powerful it can be for anyone to
picture themselves succeeding and how students, workers, professional athletes, musicians, and other performers have done so with impressive results. This is also called "visualization," "dynamic imaging," and "imagined practice."
