Your imagination is the single most important asset you posses....

It's your power to create mental pictures of all things that don't yet exist and that you want to bring to life. It's the magic wand you use to access your creative fire and shape your future... in your own way, you are a creative prophet. You generate countless predictions every day. Your imagination is the source, tirelessly churning out images and scenarios of what you will be doing later.  It may start as an incy wincy thread of an idea, or a highly advanced thought for a briefed event with a limitless budget.... (dreaming of....)
your imagination comes from ‘feeling’ ... and not thinking (well, not too hard anyway....).

The prophecy of the moment may be as simple as a psychic impression of yourself eating a ham and cheese toastie at lunch, or as monumental as a daydream of your current event brief turning into an ‘Oscars-like’ reality (with Eddie Murphy as host); or maybe one day building your dream home by the sea. Your imagination is a treasure when it spins out scenarios that are hooked to your deepest desires. In fact, it's an indispensable tool in creating the event in life you want; it's what you use to project images of the places you'd like to inhabit and the objects you hope to covet. Nothing manifests on this planet unless it first exists as a mental picture.

We all do it.... depends on where.  Could be the vague out and arrival to our mind’s eye when we are relaxing... (sometimes driving? eeek) that perfect daydream that pops up in our morning shower (hang on, did i shampoo once? or twice?) we think, feel and ponder about all the facets of the possibilities - some ideas are dashed as just beyond impossible, but others remain.... lingering and peppered in the recess of our imaginations.

But whether our imagination is in service to our impossible desires or in the thrall of a massive leap of faith, there is one constant:
the prophecies of our imagination tend to be accurate. Many of our visions and dreams of the future do come to pass. The situations we expect to occur and the experiences we rehearse, dream about over and over and dwell on are all-too-often reflected back to us as events that confirm our expectations. Does that mean our mental projections create the future? Let's consider that possibility.

What if it's at least partially true that what we expect will happen does tend to materialize?

Here's the boom boom and logical conclusion: it's straight up stupid and self-destructive to infect our imaginations with pictures of ‘it won’t happen’ and predetermined failure, doom and gloom, fear and loathing. The far more sensible approach is to expect great things and putting it out there is the place to start.  Get in touch with that place... take the time to let the thoughts flow; it sometimes takes a lot of practice to dial up when we are in the process of all the doing!

If your imagination is your hatchery for self-fulfilling prophecies, let’s conspire to disperse fear and invoke creativity and joy.
