Tip #57: Embrace Your Imagination

Your imagination is the preview to life’s coming attractions.”
-Albert Einstein

Imagination is often hindered by day-to-day life. It can be scary! So why is something “exciting” — scary? Why do we often resist imagining our lives differently?

Our imagination often reveals what we want and need within our lives — something that may be exciting. But if you’re anything like how I used to be, you avoid embracing your imagination because it’s often easier to believe that ignorance is bliss. Why know what we’re missing out on?

Now, consider how you use (or don’t use) your imagination. For a few minutes, allow your creativity and imagination run wild. You must decide if your imagination is worth embracing. [Yes, it is!] Then, you are left with two choices: ignore what you want and keep this knowledge hidden deep within yourself OR begin working incredibly hard to create personal change. I choose change.

Letting your imagination run free allows you to dream, play, plan, and create. These are not childish or irresponsible activities – instead they are the natural extension of your thoughts and aspirations. By denying yourself the ability to imagine the unreal, you are limiting your full potential.

Take Home Message:

Embrace your imagination – without it, you cannot dream or visualize your creative genius!
