You've probably heard the expression, "What you see is what you get." My grandfather used to say. "If you 1 a tree long enough, it will move." We see 2 we want to see. Psychologists tells us that 3 controls our life more than our self -image. We live like the person we see in the 4 . We are what we think we are. If you don't think you'll be successful, you 5 . You can't be it if you can't see it. Your life is 6 to your vision. If you want to change your 7 , you must change your vision of life.
