Similar to a mantra, visualizations play a huge role in future success. You used the UFC video as an example, I remember watching a few sports videos about why Connor Mcgregor has been able to succeed. He asserts that he used to visualize being the champion and that was what kept him going all those years, when he was poor and a nobody.
Like Connor, the famous actor Jim Carey said he used to write himself checks for large sums of money and even though he didnt have the money yet, he visualized it and that made him work hard and able to cash the checks. Good post
