One of the reasons you are given a brain is so that you can imagine solutions to challenges. What you see today as solution is someone else's imagination that he put to work. So one may ask; what is imagination? Simply put: it is the creative ability or functionality of the mind to form an image of something that has not been earlier seen or perceived. This is one of the core and advanced functions that has made human uniquely different from animals.
Everyone may be given a mind and a freewill to think but the degree at which you can imagine things is entirely dependent on the usage of your mind. Many people's imagination are limited to their environment and their situation but it should not be so. Your Imagination should not be based on what is already within reach but what may be. This will enable you to make plans, set goal, then take the required steps to see it fulfilled. It is your imagination that forms the basis of your dreams and your goals.
Before Orvile and Wilbur Wright invented the airplane, they had already imagined creating a system of metals that fly. This imagination came even when they were still bicycle repairmen. You see, they did not allow their present situation to stop them from imagining what they want to achieve in the future. Even when a particular well-known scientist of that age said that it was impossible for a system of metals that are heavier than air to fly, it still did not deter them. They powered their imagination with the right actions and at the end, their imagination became their invention.
The imagination of the mind is so powerful that the more you think about it, the more the zeal is created within you to pursue after it. When the zeal is triggered, then actions will be taken on your imagination and fulfilment will become a reality. As a matter of fact, dreams cannot be created without imagination. Each day you wake up, imagine the kind of future you have always desired, then complement it by taking the necessary and required steps.
Imagination does not get the work done on its own. Rather, it sets a precedence for you to take actions. It gives you the zeal and the oomph to pursue after your desires. Without taking steps and actions on your imagination, they will end up as just daydream. Look at imagination as a seed. What you do with a seed will determine if it will remain as a seed or it will turn into fruit for you. If you keep it in a jar and look at it every morning, it will still remain as a seed. However, when you take actions to plant it, then it will give you the desired fruit.
Your Imagination may be very brilliant and your creative ability may be outstanding but one thing is needful - you need action. There is no limit to what the human mind can imagine but what places the limitations is your willingness to take the required action. To convert your imagination to something tangible, you have to take steps. Remember, everything will remain in its state of dormancy (Including your imagination) until a force; that is action; is applied to it.
Thanks for reading
Some persons imagination can be limited to the environment they found themselves. The only thing I think that could also expand our imagination is through some things we do like reading.
Imagination is always the key to building a strong goal for yourself.
Nice one
That's right. What you feed your mind with (like what you read) influences your imagination.
Thanks for this nice comment buddy
