Where it all begins.

Where does it all begin?  When did it all begin? Does everyone have the capacity to do it?  Just what are its limits, and when will we know when to use it?  These are all great questions, and these are questions that people have every day when we talk about imagination.  What I want to do for you today is lay a foundation.  This foundation is what will change your life forever, and in making these changes, you will see that you have always been, and that you will always be.   

First and foremost your imagination needs to be focused on things that bring you joy, that brings you happiness, and that brings you contentment.  If you find yourself focusing on things that bring you the opposite, stop!  Imagination is the building block on which all things become reality .  As crazy as that might seem to some, imagination is really the beginning point of everything we do, of everything we are.  Too many people discount their imagination.  I've found myself delving into the topic of imagination as of late.  It's not that I haven't used my imagination in the past, but what I hadn't been doing is realizing the significance of my imagination.  Once you come to an understanding of the power you have when it comes to imagination, you will begin to live the life you were always intended to live, and when that happens everything changes.  

Now some might call imagination simple thoughts.  Some might explain it as dreams, or even day dreaming.  No matter what time of day it is, whether you are asleep or awake, imagination is always a constant in your life.  The challenge we have is what do we focus on, and do we really believe that what we imagine is really something we are supposed to be focusing on.  Let me tell you that there is no limit to what you can imagine.  What happens to most people is they feel that it's impossible to have what they imagine.  If you take on this mindset I can assure you that the results will be less than stellar.  If you think about what is surrounding you today, everything began in someone's mind.  It all began with a single thought.  Surely it may have taken many people to bring something to fruition, but it all started with a single person, with a single thought.  We are always imagining, but what we aren't doing is believing in that imagination.  It's time to put some weight behind your imagination and see where it takes you. 

Many, many people have the mindset that imagination is just foolishness gone to seed.  How many times have we been told to get our heads out of the clouds?  How many times have we been told to stop dreaming and simply be?  How many times have we stopped before we even started? I can bet you that those people who discount dreams, those who throw away imagination, are the very same people who have yet to do what they really desire in life.  I cannot stress enough the importance of your imagination, especially when it comes to being the person you were always intended to be.  Just for a moment I want you to think about the perfect day.  I want you to imagine doing the things you love most in life.  Do these thoughts bring a smile to your face?  Do these thoughts bring you joy?  Do these thoughts bring you to a place where you can simply relax and know that all things are as they should be?  I cannot stress enough that you focus on those things that bring you that joy, peace, and happiness that we discussed earlier.  Why someone would want to focus on anything other than that is beyond me.  

Just as it's impossible to stop thinking, to stop having thoughts, it's impossible to turn off your imagination.  We have millions and millions of thoughts each day.  We also imagine throughout the entire day.  When I begin any writing project, be it a new book, or even this blog, I imagine people reading it, enjoying it, learning from it.  I imagine lives being changed.  Now can I determine at what point in time those lives will be changed?  Nope, but I can imagine it.  In my imagination people will discover their destiny, and they will walk in all those things that were meant for them.  I can imagine speaking to large and small groups.  I can imagine my production company putting out products that will change humanity one life at a time.  Do these thoughts bring me joy, oh yes they do.  Can I hold fast to these thoughts, oh most assuredly.  This is what imagination is all about, and this is what will usher in the change that I want to see around me. 

If you discount your imagination, you stifle any or all of what really should be taking place in your life.  Let me stress this one point.  There will be times when we imagine things that we really shouldn't. Thoughts of doom and gloom.  When you find yourself here you need to nip it in the bud.  We are all going to have thoughts from time to time that do not serve us well.  When that happens simply wipe the page clean, and move on.   We have the ability to move past thoughts thoughts and not continue to focus on them.  Yes there are people who love to stay in places where they only think of doom and gloom, but if you look at their lives they are probably miserable at best.  

Why is imagination so critical right now?  We are living in changing times.  We are living in a time where there are many things happening that we can't explain.  We are simply living in times that make things a little darker, a little bleachers, a little more unclear.  You do not need to give up on your dreams simply because others have given up on theirs.  You don't have to stop imagining good things because others have only focused on the doomsday scenario.  Living from your imagination is what will set your feet on the right path.  Living in your imagination is what will usher in the best times of your life.  Living in your imagination will bring you a peace that will never be able to be taken away from you.  

As unbelievable as it might sound, if you can imagine it, you can process it.  If you can imagine it, you can live it.  If you can imagine it, you will be it.  There are all kinds of sacred words that talk about thinking on things that are kind, things that are peaceful, things that are loving.  Why do you think it so?  If you focus on darkness then darkness will surround you.  If you focus on light, then light becomes your reality.  Given the choice, light or dark, what is the better choice?  Imagination is the starting point, it is the foundation.  A strong foundation is required any time you attempt to build something.  There are no limits to your imagination, so why not use it, and see where it takes you.
