Would you like a gift? A gift that keeps on getting better, even without sunlight or water. Maybe you can’t guess what that could be, can you.
Maybe the best part is that you can give this to yourself. It is the gift of imagination, and each of us has the seed. Our ability as humans to call up our imagination for problem solving or just pleasure is quite a gift. Everyone is born with some, and some people have an abundance available. We humans are specially endowed with this ability.
What is it that creates our dreams, born in the night as we wander among the stars? Are nightmares just the dark side of our imagination? Remember that it is your imagination. Use it wisely.
So much of our education today ignores the wonders of the imagination. Some find it in their gift to write fabulous stories that others can enjoy. When we dive into a story or a movie, our imagination gets tickled, and we can be expanded as humans and enjoy the ride along the way.
It is not something that just awakens as if by the cosmic alarm clock inside each one of us. However it expands, it is something to be nurtured, trusted, and exercised in order to flourish. We in the developed world have much available for those who practice and develop their imagination, whether it is in the arts, or in our everyday lives when we need to find ways to deal with problems.
Imagining a desirable result and a good way to get there is the gateway to having a world we want, and pleasures that come with that. It hinges so much on imagination. In ways that most of us don’t imagine possible.
Whatever you can imagine, you can move towards your desires. Just watch out for the monkeys that lurk somewhere in that thinking box on top of your shoulders, they will try to throw a monkey wrench into your creation.
A personal gift to you: Celebrate that you are a part of the everything, the continuing creation of life. Imagine enjoying the ride.
