“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.
