"Perhaps one of the most convincing pieces of research to verify the power of imagery in sport was an experiment performed with two groups of basketball players who were trying to improve their free-throw percentage. One group shot one hundred free throws every day for three weeks; the other group simply visualized doing the same. The study found that the visualizing group showed significant improvement over those who actually shot the ball."
The power of our thoughts is significant. While Oprah is rich, famous and her life has been actualized - this clip with Larry King depicts how Oprah utilized the power of her thoughts to be in the film, The Color Purple. Her obsession to be in the film, her dreaming, thinking, and praying for a part and her getting a call to audition without knowing anyone producing the film portrays the power of thoughts.
