The
Power of Imagination is one of the greatest gifts ordained to men, that no
other living creatures share. Our ability to see things beyond the immediate
surroundings is so strongly placed that our minds can transport to different
world with the mere thoughts of our head. We can so vividly imagine the future
we are going to live, or at least the one we wish to live.
We
day-dream constantly and it is natural to all humans alike. To reveal
surprising facts, experts estimate that one person can have 60000 to 80000
thoughts on an average day! Our ability to imagine can in turn be a superpower
that most of us aren’t aware of yet. Imagination can be used not just to escape
reality and drift off to fantasies, but to create realities for us. Human
civilization is the biggest symbolic showcasing betterment and advancement. The
greatest inventions that transformed living for mankind, have also sprouted as
ideas from individuals who dared to dream.
When
we think of our head-space, we immediately realize how we’ve all thought of
million ways the world could be better in our eyes. This in turn tells us how
our ability to create the future is not just determined by the thought bubbles
in our heads, but is also constrained by it. The greatest leaders to have
walked the planet, showing mankind directions to the better world have also all
been acclaimed visionaries and vivid thought leaders. To ask, how visionaries
are made? It is in their ability to unleash imagination with courage, vividly
and profoundly visualize dreams and give it energy to expand beyond.
A
great deal of power in creating a vision comes from courage, energy, love and
feelings you give to your imagination. At no point across history have leaders
and inventions come to glory without support. Sharing your ideas and welcoming
others’ is best to expand the capabilities of your reckless thoughts; giving
them direction, advices, more knowledge and understanding and the courage to
leap beyond.
To
use this unique power in the best way possible, we draw back to Deepak Chopra’s
quote, “The best use of imagination is creativity. The worst use of imagination
is anxiety.”
