“You first have to picture it in your mind before it becomes a reality. Vision is tomorrow’s reality expressed as an idea today.” -Orrin Woodward
Advertisers know that in order for us to buy their product, they have to put it in our mind first. That’s why there’s so much publicity out there. How would I buy a new game if I didn't know it was coming out? Publicity create the picture and try to provide the need for us to go out of our way and buy their stuff.
In other word, they provide a vision for us, that has the potential to become a reality if shown in a way that’s appealing to us.
The bible also put emphasis on the mind as well. Those who read it know what I’m talking about.
