I would like to talk a little about our intellectual faculty (I will discuss all of our intellectual faculties in detail later) of imagination. Imagination is our ability to conceive and envision something. I want to share with you two powerful quotes regarding imagination:
1. "Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future" - Charles Kettering, Inventor and holder of over 300 patents.
2. "Imagination is more important than knowledge" - Albert Einstein
You see many people imagine the worst case scenario about anything. For example, lets say someone has worked in their job at the factory for the past twenty years and one day he/she hears that the factory may close. What usually happens? Most people start imagining all the bad things that will happen - How will I afford my house, food, car, kids college etc...? What if he/she instead imagined themselves, lets say, starting a business they have always wanted?
Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, said that with every seemingly bad situation comes a seed of oppurtunity. You may say well what does he know? Well, during the Great Depression, Hill lost all of his money and had to start over again. He was in his late forties at the time. He perservered and became even more successful.
I would suggest to all of you that you begin imagining the life you want. Whatever it is that you want, imagine yourself as if you have already attained it. Stop letting your current results control your future.
Until next time......
