I must admit I never thought about picturing, imagining others seeing me as I would like them to.
(Oh, probably cuz it's not a priority....dah.)
Now, imagining myself as the person I am destined to be, the person I am meant to be,
the person that is my real self, the person I want to and will be, the person I am becoming...
now that I had a therapist have me do in maybe the mid 90s.
I thought, 'What?' At the time, I was a mess with anger, irritability, control issues ---
(I went to get help to forgive my horrible father ...wrecking my relationships, cuz of all the unresolved 'stuff'.)
But, OK, I pictured myself not being bothered by things, kind of like a compassionate image of some saintly, nurturing,
understanding mother.
I thought to myself - ''Yeah right? Like maybe in a few lifetimes!!!!''
But, within 10 years - I started to become more and more mellow and
light-hearted - forgiving, fun, happy, unbothered.
Wow,
So I saw: there WAS power in me imagining myself a better person!!!
A diff twist on the topic here. (10 yrs is nothing to change that much.)

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
