Imagination

What is it that we spend most of our imagination on? The future!

Our imagination is simply an "image" we create of that which isn't a reality yet. It is what we think will be. If we use our imagination to think that our future is going to be bad - we call that pessimism - and pessimism will never help you to become a success.

When we use our imagination to think of a great future - we call that optimism - and optimism is the thing that will give your life flight. When you have positive imagination, when you can see all of the possibilities, and see them as good, then will your life take flight on the wings of optimistic imagination!

Since what we imagine is simply a choice of the will, I suggest you take some time today to begin to foster optimism in your life. I know it not easy. Since when did anyone say that good and great things are easy? Take a situation you think is going to turn out poorly and begin to change how you think of it. Use your imagination to see how that situation could turn out great!

Thought it Over

"As the biggest library, if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself."

- Arthur Schopenhauer
