The Power of Imagination

Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not perceived through the five senses. It is the ability of the mind to build mental scenes, objects or events that do not exist, are not present, or have happened in the past.

Everyone possesses a certain of imagination ability. In some, it is highly developed, and in others, it manifests in a weaker form. Imagination manifests in various degrees in various people.

Imagination makes it possible to experience a whole world inside the mind. It gives the ability to look at any situation from a different point of view, and to mentally explore the past and the future.

This ability manifests in various forms, one of which is daydreaming. Though too much idle daydreaming may make one impractical, a certain degree daydreaming, while not being engaged in something that requires attention, provides temporary happiness, calmness and relief from stress.

In your imagination, you can travel anywhere in the speed of light, without any obstacles. It can make you feel free, though temporarily, and only in the mind, from tasks, difficulties and unpleasant circumstances.

Imagination is not limited only to seeing pictures in the mind. It includes all the five senses and the feelings. One can imagine a sound, taste, smell, a physical sensation or a feeling or emotion. For some people it is easier to see mental pictures, others find it easier to imagine a feeling, and some are more comfortable imagining the sensation of one of the five senses. Training of the imagination gives the ability to combine all the senses.

A developed and strong imagination does not make you a daydreamer and impractical. On the contrary, it strengthens your creative abilities, and is a great tool for recreating and remodeling your world and life.

This is a great power that can change your whole life. It is used extensively in magic, creative visualization and affirmations. It is the creator of circumstances and events. When you know how to work with it, you can make your hearts' desires come true.

Imagination has a great role and value in each one's life. It is much more than just idle daydreaming. We all use it, whether consciously or unconsciously, in most of our daily affairs. We use our imagination whenever we plan a party, a trip, our work or a meeting. We use it when we describe an event, explain how to arrive to a certain street, write, tell a story or cook a cake.

Imagination is a creative power that is necessary for inventing an instrument, designing a dress or a house, painting a picture or writing a book. The creative power of imagination has an important role in the achievement of success in any field. What we imagine with faith and feelings comes into being. It is the important ingredient of creative visualization, positive thinking and affirmations.

Visualizing an object or a situation, and repeating often this mental image, attracts the object or situation we visualize into our lives. This opens for us new, vast and fascinating opportunities.

This means that we should think only in a positive manner about our desires, otherwise, we might attract into our lives events, situations and people that we don't really want. This is actually what most of us do, because we don't use the power of imagination correctly.

Are You Negative or Positive?

A negative mind will never give you a positive life.

Every day we are bombarded by media, family, friends, experiences that shape our mind unknowingly to be negative. It then becomes a cycle where negative thoughts reinforce negative emotions, which in turn produces negative actions. Which affects others negatively and continues the cycle. If the cycle is not broken, and left to run uninterrupted, it inevitably has a detrimental effect on our ability to receive and perform positive actions and succeed.

The key to avoiding this negative thoughts is to understand what initiates the cycle. Once mindful of the triggers, people can train themselves to avoid it, overcome it, or stop it before it does any harm.

Some keys to keeping a positive mind

Don’t take other people’s negativity personally.
Spend more time with positive people.
Change the way you think.
Focus on solutions.
Love whoever is around to be loved.
Realize that life is a series of ups and downs.
Concentrate on today.
Let go and move on when you must.

Dare

“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.” – Michael Jackson

Eliminate Limitations to Ensure Success

If you lead an active outdoor life you will think of the September dusk as coming too early and making your evenings shorter. If you spend much of your time indoors you will see them as longer evenings. The hours of darkness are the same for everyone. It is only your perception of them that is different.

No two people see the world in exactly the same way. The art of achieving success in life is to ensure that you see every challenge or opportunity in its most positive light – and this is a great time of year to start doing this.

Many of us are too busy working at earning a living to actually take time out for living fully. What would you choose to do in your life if you could do absolutely anything with no limitations, no prospect of failure and no accountability to anyone?  Individuals usually answer this innocent question with a long list of what they want to do.

It seems to be a natural reaction, eventually with a lot of soul searching people will admit to themselves, and often this is for the first time, what it is that they really want to do”.

This is a painless procedure that seeks to eliminate limitations, ensure success and allow individuals to take personal responsibility for their own lives. It is amazing how liberated one can feel when they realize that they can and should take control of their own lives. Too many just go with the flow and respond to the pressures of what others think they should do. 

This process can change one from ‘victim’ mentality to one of ‘victor’ thinking. And anyone can do it”.

Steps to Stimulate The Subconscious Mind

First: Go into some quiet spot (preferably in bed at night), where you will not be disturbed or interrupted, close your eyes, and repeat aloud, (so you may hear your own words) the written statement of the amount of money you intend to accumulate, the time limit for its accumulation, and a description of the service or merchandise you intend to give in return for the money. As you carry out these instructions, see yourself already in possession of the money.

For Example: Suppose that you intend to accumulate $50,000 by the first January, five years hence, that you intend to give personal services in return for the money, in the capacity of a salesman. Your written statement of your purpose should be similar to following:

“By the first day of January, 20--, I will have in my possession $50,000, which will come to me in various amounts from time to time during the interim.”

“In return for this money I will give the most efficient service of which I am capable, rendering the fullest possible quantity and the best possible quality of service in the capacity of the salesman of …… (Describe the service or merchandise you intend to sell).

“I believe that I will have this money in my possession. My faith is so strong that I can now see this money before my eyes. I can touch it with my hands. It is now awaiting transfer to me at the time, and in the proportion that I deliver the service I intend to render in return for it. I am awaiting a plan by which to accumulate this money, and I will follow that plan, when it is received.”

Second: Repeat this program night and morning until you can see (in your imagination) the money you intend to accumulate.

Third: Place a written copy of your statement where you can see it night and morning, and read it just before retiring and upon arising until it has been memorized.
