Tip#404: Visualize and Magnetize – The New York Times – Julie and Julia

On the day of this posting The New York Times has featured me for the first time. In the 4 years of writing this movie blog this is the biggest news I've shared. I am very excited! And I hope this reminds everyone that dreams do come true when you first visualize what you desire.

It is also proof that, despite the many hardships I've endured this year (see tip#400) following and sharing my passion for movies has been my fuel to persevere and maintain my indestructible optimism. Being featured in The New York Times is proof that if you dream big you can achieve big.

The New York Times

The New York Times has a daily circulation of over 950,000 and over 1,375,000 for the Sunday edition. That means over a million people may be reading about me because I'm in the Sunday paper. Synchronistically last weekend I was featured in Canada's largest-circulation national newspaper The Globe and Mail with a circulation of over 400,000 (see article). It’s as if I've reached an exciting tipping point from the time I've invested in using visualizing techniques from movies I loved.

Movies have been a profound resource for me in visualizing the future I want. Movies kept my positive emotional energy active. And the film Julie & Julia is the one that fueled the excitement of being contacted by The New York Times. Seeing blogger Julie Powell receive a call from this newspaper is what excited me because it led to a whole new world of attention for her blog. It gave me something to visualize for myself.

Julie & Julia 2009

The movie Julie & Julia is based on two true stories of French Chef Julia Child (Meryl Streep) and food blogger Julie Powell (Amy Adams). Julie endured her own hardships while blogging about her passion. And she persevered to complete her mission to document online her daily experiences of cooking the recipes in Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

What you see is that she learned to enjoy the journey of following her passion for food. What you see are the relationships that supported her on her quest. And ultimately you see that after The New York Times publishes a story on Julie's blog, she attracts the attention of journalists, literary agents and book publishers.

Positive Emotional Energy

Witnessing these cinematic moments in Julie & Julia is what helped me visualize what I wanted with my movie blog. It helped me fill my heart and mind with the excitement of successes I could have, especially when I knew the movie was based on true stories. And I believe that somehow this positive emotional energy within me radiated out into the world and made my dream come true with The New York Times.

Let true-life stories inspire you to keep following your passion. Let favourite movie heroes be your cinematic role models and help you visualize the future you want. It may take time and many hurdles to reach your goals so remember you are not alone. Your heroes have already taken similar journeys and they can help you stay motivated. Let them remind you to keep moving forward with indestructible optimism!
