Why what we think is often the first step.

It all started with a little mouse.  It all began with an idea.  It all began with a dream.  Walt Disney imagined a world where everyone could just forget about life for a day and enter his magic kingdom and loose themselves in a land of make believe.

Today we can see the results of Walt's imagination.  We have Disney Movies, Disneyland, Disney World, and countless other attractions and events, all because he dared to imagine the what ifs.

I encourage you today to throw away any notion that your imagination is nothing more than random thought, and pick up on a new paradigm that says that imagination is the beginning of everything.  First you have to know that your imagination comes directly from your spirit, your essence.  I've said this many times before but there is nothing around you today that did not begin in someone's imagination.  Those first thoughts that began a process of doing something, saying something, discovering something, all leading to things that we see, use, and work with each day of our lives.  This computer was once just a thought.  Your car, a thought.  Your clothes, a uniform, just a thought.  There are people who have begun business empires because of a single thought.  The race to space began with a thought.  There have been millions of things created because someone believed in their own imagination and ran with it.

If we fail to realize the power of our own imagination then we are doomed to live a life that is void of anything of significance.  I've known many people who discount those tiny thoughts they have because they have so little faith in who they are.  If you cannot see the significance of you being here right now then I guess it really doesn't matter what thoughts come to you and ultimately what you might do with those thoughts.

Albert Einstein said this, "Imagination is more important than knowledge.  Knowledge is limited.  Imagination encircles the world."  Imagination is truly a gift from your creator.  Imagination is what will place you on your path to your true destiny.  When I first thought about writing a book I also imagined what I would be doing once the books were written.  I could imagine all the crowds that I would be talking in front of.  I imagined the doors that I would be able to open for others to walk in their destiny.  I saw things that would change the face of this planet.  My imagination was ripe with thoughts about what if.  I've never thought of anything as much as I have thought about True Destiny and the direction that I wanted to take the company and the effects it would have on other people's lives.  I have begun to live my life as thought what I have imagined is already in existence and what I desire is already mine.

Imagination is such a powerful thing, and it is yours.  Allow me to give you a word of warning:  just because you have a thought does not mean you go out and shout it from the roof tops.  Even though you may believe that what you have imagined can and will come to fruition, there are those around you who would love nothing more then to talk you out of it.  It is wisdom to lock some of those things that are churning in your imagination into a lock box until such time as it is prudent to bring them out in public.  There are far more naysayers out there then there are people who believe in their imagination.  There will be people who will tell you why you can't do what you are dreaming, and they will try to tear apart any thought that would make them feel as though they have missed opportunities in their own life.

What are some things you have imagined for your life?  Have you believed any of them or have you discounted them because others thought you crazy or insane for thinking such things?  If you can imagine it chances are there is a reason you are having these thoughts, and if you have begun to look at your destiny then chances are these thoughts go hand in hand with what your destiny is all about.  Your imagination is powerful and it holds the key to you walking in your destiny and accomplishing those things that you were created to do.  Your imagination is in touch with your spirit and your spirit is never going to tell you something that does not benefit you in some way.

It is time to embrace your imagination and those things that are coming from it.  Imagination does indeed encircled the world, and your imagination is there to take you on the trip of a lifetime.  I wish you well in your journeys and I know it will be a trip that will be written about for days and years to come.
