=============================================
We can do anything we can imagine. That
sounds simple, but it isn't. If we can't imagine it, we
can't do it. If we can't imagine ourselves being successful,
getting promoted, running our own business, or simply living
a happy life, then we cannot create it. We have to create
the possibility for what we want in our minds first. Once
we have imagined ourselves having or doing whatever it is
we want to do, we then can get busy bringing it into reality.
There was a time when I couldn't imagine
myself being a successful business owner. It was a concept
that was too far out for me. It wasn't in my scope of reality.
Because I couldn't imagine it, I didn't create it. It wasn't
until I got laid off and the opportunity presented itself
that I began to imagine that running a business was a possibility.
The more I imagined the possibility, the more it began to
seem real. I imagined the steps necessary to bring the idea
into reality. The more action I took the more my imagination
fueled me to continue. I began to imagine that I ran a successful
business. I could see myself doing things that I never even
thought of before.
Coaching
If we cannot imagine it, we cannot create
it. If you cannot see yourself doing something, chances
are you will not be able to do it. It won't even occur to
you that it is possible because it will not be in your realm
of reality.
Before you can even start imagining something,
you must first become aware of what you want and create
that possibility. It took a long time for me to bring into
my awareness the fact that I could be successful as a business
owner. Once I allowed that awareness into my consciousness,
I was able to imagine what that would be like. My imagination
spurred me on to take the necessary steps. What I have found
is that so often we don't need to know how to create something.
We merely need to imagine it and see ourselves doing whatever
it is we want to do. Once we get clear on the what, the
how will present itself.
Are you ready to open up your imagination
to the possibilities?
Daily Success Formula
Imagination = Creating
the possibility
Quotes
"Seeing all possibilities, seeing all
that can be done, and how it can be done, marks the power
of imagination. Your imagination stands as your own personal
laboratory. Here you can rehearse the possibilities, map
out plans, and visualize overcoming obstacles. Imagination
turns possibilities into reality." Unknown
"We are told never to cross a bridge
till we come to it, but this world is owned by men who have
"crossed bridges" in their imagination far ahead
of the crowd." Speakers Library
"The great successful men of the world
have used their imagination. They think ahead and create
their mental picture, and then go to work materializing
that picture in all its details, filling in here, adding
a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but
steadily building, steadily building." Robert Collier
"First comes thought, then organization
of that thought into ideas and plans; then transformation
of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe,
is in your imagination." Napoleon Hill |
