Make Your Own Reality

We make our own realities that were birthed from our imagination. God created us in His image. Part of that image is to create; thus, a person who gets in touch with his creative side can, if he thinks it, and wills it, recreate the world around him.

Focus on one dream.  What do you wish to be. For example, you want to write a book. Imagine that you are already an author. Feel the rewards of being a well-known author, even if the rewards are not yet there.

Let that thought become a driving force for you to research the secrets of becoming a successful author. Learn the disciplines and habits that will lead you to your dream. Invest at least 30 minutes in a day towards your passion to be an author. Interact with successful authors. Squeeze the wisdom from their experience and drink every drop of it.

Of course the most important thing is to write and write and keep on writing, then you must rewrite and rewrite and keep on rewriting…

Consistently move in this direction and you will see improvements and changes. Your imagination can become a reality.

Have Support Groups

Every person who had achieved something significant had other people backing him up. Nobody does the big stuff alone. Those who tried to do things by themselves, well… ended up alone.

“In order to be happy we require all kinds of supports to our self-esteem. We are human beings, therefore human beings are the purpose of God’s creation” – Bertrand Russell

The Power to Imagine

“I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see. ” – Duane Michals

The power to imagine possibilities beyond obvious limitations is one of the grandest gifts God gave humankind.  Every person must recognize in himself the capacity to think through a situation no matter how difficult and come up with unconventional solutions especially if conventional solutions have failed.

There are few important things before one unleashes the power of imagination: (1) One must believe that limitations are meant to be stretched,  what we cannot do can be overcomed, (2) detach oneself from mental and emotional pressure even though there is every reason to be bothered mentally and emotionally, (3) look at the big picture and understand the big picture impact, (4) mind the details because it matters too, and (5) entertain possibilities, even outrageous ones.
