Imagine ~ can you do that simple thing?
I have heard things said before like “they have no imagination” about some people and I have never understood it because I can imagine things all of the time.
Do you have the ability to bring up images in your imagination?
It is a key part of making changes in life. We must first see the difference we are looking for. When we bring about a vision of what we wish life to be and how we want things to be, we need to see it first. The key to shaping your life the way you want it is by seeing it and then doing all that is required to make that happen. And the wonderful part of it all is that it is totally possible.
Where do we start?
We must first see what it is we want or we must first see how it will be. The dreaming it all up part is step one. The next set of steps require us to work towards it happening.
Nothing will change and nothing will become unless we imagine it first.
The steps then are to have full faith in and begin to try it on for size. See how it feels for you now. How do you feel inside of your vision for yourself and your life. Kind of like this.
I imagine a tomatoe sandwich for lunch this week. I can see the sandwich in my mind, I can see the work required to get the bread and the tomatoe and see myself slicing the tomatoe thinly just the way I like it. A little salt sprinkled on top. I can smell the juice of the tomatoe as I cut into it to make those slices. I can begin to taste the sandwich and it tastes great.
I am licking my lips now with what my imagination has created for me.
Funny thing is, if I do not buy the bread and the tomatoe during the week this will never happen, right?
So there are some actions I must take to make my image and vision become a reality. This is the work part that is upon me. I have seen the sandwich and tasted it already and it all felt right.
If I do not put the work in, it will never happen. That is pretty straight forward isn’t it? I believe it is within my capabilities and so I CAN make this sandwich happen for me.
Back to our imagination though, where did it all start?
I had a vision, an image in my mind and I believed in it because it was a good idea of mine and something I wanted to have. How did this come about?
It took my imagination first or nothing would have become. There would be no sandwich. I guess a simple way to use words to explain this is something I have used from time to time ~ Perceive – Believe – Achieve.
So 1st we must perceive it. See it in our mind, use our imagination.
2nd we got to believe in how we CAN and that we WILL do the work necessary to bring our vision into existence.
3rd We carry out the work and trust in the process.
The sandwich becomes made and I enjoy it.
The exact same set of principles and concepts applies to achieving anything that you can bring about in your imagination.
Look at this website I am using to write all this down. The internet even or the social media platforms I am usimg to share this post on. All of these things were someones ideas once. Yup they had imagination and got into seeing how it could work and what they must do to make it work and they brought these things into existence. The individuals who had these visions made quite a lot of money bringing all these things into reality.
They knew what they wanted to create and they went for it and are enjoying the fruits of their labour.
Point being that everything in existence and that we use today all came from some person’s idea. They had a vision, they created something inside of their imagination.
See it ~ Feel it ~ Become it.
What is that you want? Have you been struggling to make it happen?
Go back to basics first. Use your imagination and get serious about your vision. Imagine it first, the whole concept relies on you having a clear vision. Otherwise it can remain a simple idea and pass away into the memory bank.
Oh but it is gonna be so much hard work. Is something you might say. To this, I say you are not even close to believing in your vision. One must believe in it.
Take any olympic gold medal winner. There are many of them to choose from, the greatest example of all is Usain Bolt. I believe the quote goes or what he has said and many who have watched his career.
He trains for 4 full years. Day in and day out to perform and run and win the gold medal in the olympics by performing and competing in a race that lasts approximately one minute.
4 years work going in for 1 minute of performance and the result is GOLD MEDAL WINNER.
Seems a fair trade off doesn’t it?
Though if we were to think of ourselves putting in 4 years of hard work to get what we want we might be put off a little.
Then do not look at the 4 years. Look at what you believe you can achieve, take all the baby steps necessary to get there and when you are clear in how your imagination can bring you to feeling it and enjoying it then you are on your way.
It could even take 8 years who really knows.
What I do know is that when we trust in the process we will get there and all it took was for us to use our imaginarion in the beginning.
Have fun and enjoy making your life the way YOU wish.
