One of the greatest gifts of God to mankind is the gift of imagination. Imagination simply means forming an image about a particular thing in your mind. It is painting mental pictures about something. Imagination has with it the power or force that can transform such mental pictures or images into reality. The level of success you will enjoy in life is determined by how well you harness and maximize your imagination. In this post, I am going to explain the power of imagination, and how to maximize your imagination for optimal success.
Our imagination is an audacious asset in achieving optimal Success. Hence, we cannot underestimate its great power. Even God himself, confirms the audacity of imagination.
… And now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined, (Genesis 11:6).
What do you imagine about your life? What picture do you paint about that business, project, contract, relationship, or life circumstance? Is it a picture of conquest or defeat; success or failure? You must understand that the power of imagination can drive you to succeed or fail in life depending on the image you paint in your mind. Moreover, when a man has a positive imagination, he has everything it takes to achieve in life. Imagination helps you see vividly your success before it happens. It helps you to demystify challenging issues of life. Imagination consists of hope, optimism, and enthusiasm. And these three elements work together to turn your all dreams into reality.
He did see it, that’s why it’s here – Lillian Walt.
A man once imagined and conceived a project in his mind. Along the line, he died and could not see to the completion of the project but his legacy lived on. However, exactly five years after his demise that project was completed, and at the dedication ceremony on October 1, 1971 someone remarked, “Isn’t it a shame that Walt didn’t live to see this”. “He did see it, that’s why it’s here” the wife replied. She told him that her husband had already seen the completion of the project right from the day he imagined it. He saw it vividly because he had formed the image and painted the picture in his mind. That project is Disney World; it is still a monumental testimony to the power of imagination.
A fulfilled and rewarding life is a function of imagination. Through the power of your imagination, you can transform circumstances, and turn your dreams into realities. Despite the challenges of life it is still possible to imagine plenty in the midst of famine, conquest in adversity, and optimal success in life when defeat is imminent. But it all boils down to how well you can engage and maximize your imagination.
How to Maximize Your Imagination
Maximizing your imagination is all about increasing the wavelength of your imagination. This entails stretching and maximally engaging your vision for a life of optimal success and fulfillment. It would help if you increased the wavelength of your imagination. One thing about imagination is that it comes with a sense of urgency. It comes with a can-do attitude. Once the image is formed and impressed in our mind, there is this feeling that we can turn these images into realities.
Power of Imagination
Possibly, you might want to ask; why are some people defeated in the battle of life? Or why do some people fail in life even with the power of imagination? Whatever we do we must understand that there is positive and also negative imagination. And that failure is a creation of negative imagination. Negative imagination is a creation of any mind manipulated by fear, and doubt. With such negative imagination the person sees nothing else but failure and defeat in life. All they see is the doomsday ahead of them.
A young man once told us that he doesn’t think he can pass a JavaScript test. Why does he think so? He has imagined a failure in his mind. We tried to persuade him not to quit, and that he can do it which he did. In the end, he was not successful. Why was he not successful? His mind was riddled with fear and doubt. Such is the power of our imagination. It functions like a camera the image we capture in our imagination is what we will print in real life. We cannot capture failure and print out success. If we capture failure in our imagination we will print out failure in real life. However, to avoid failure and secure our conquest over challenges we must deal with every negative imagination.
The Key to Optimal Success
… Casting down imaginations... (2 Corinthians 10: 5).
In any space you find yourself, arm yourself with positive imagination. It is the key to optimal success. You must therefore do everything within your power to cast down every negative imagination because it breeds failure in life. You must always imagine yourself succeeding in the midst of circumstances and challenges of life. No matter what always imagine conquest, success, breakthrough, and possibilities. And it doesn’t matter the impossible outlook of your challenges. Imagine yourself doing the impossible. Positive imagination breeds ideas, creativity, innovation, insight, vision, and originality which are all qualities you need for a life of optimal success and fulfillment. We must understand that our imagination carries with it the power to turn all our dreams into reality.
You can Achieve More.
In the words of Walt Disney, “If you can dream it, you can do it”. Finally, you can succeed and achieve greatness in life if you can maximize your imagination. What do you dream or imagine? The truth is that you can turn it into reality such is the power of imagination. The point is that we can do more, achieve more, and succeed more if only we can increase the wavelength of our imagination. Stretch your imagination beyond limits. Whatever you want to achieve is possible. Just imagine it no matter the prevalent challenges. If you can imagine it you can become it. GOODLUCK.
