Our imagination is one of our greatest assets. If we can imagine it, we can create it. However, we often censor our imagination. We limit what we allow ourselves to imagine. The problem isn't that most people imagine too much it is that most people imagine too little.

The imagination is unlimited and can create incredible possibilities if we allow it. Unfortunately, as we mature we can get so caught up in reality that our imagination gets put on the back burner. We begin to think that imagination is something only for children. We begin to live in a world of black and white where the imagination is considered foolish or frivolous.

New possibilities do not come from seeing things as they are; they come from imagining how things can be. Our imagination is the gateway to new ideas, concepts and inventions. Everything that exists today started in someone's imagination.

Coaching

Imagination is one of our greatest gifts. Sadly so many people fail to open their gift. They leave their imagination wrapped and untouched.

To have our imagination work, we need to exercise our imagination muscle. The imagination muscle is like any other in our bodies. If we don't use it, we loose it. If we let it lie around untouched it will become week and useless. But, if we give our imagination a good workout everyday, it will produce more ideas than we can use.

Start an imagination journal. Each day, for just five minutes, write down all the ideas that come to you. It may take awhile for the imagination to kick in, but once it does, look out. You will be surprised at what you are capable of imagining.

When was the last time you let your imagination run wild?

Quotes

"The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were." John F. Kennedy
