The Power of Imagination, Imagination (Visualization)

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein

Genesis 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Great men over the years have harnessed the power of imagination/visualization to achieve great success in life. From religious leaders, political leaders, movie stars, celebrities such as Walt Disney, Mohammed Ali, Oprah Winfrey, Jim Carey, Einstein to Essien, etc.

Oxford English defines imagination as: "To bring something as a picture before the mind". If you can see it [in the mind's eye, in the spirit] then it becomes more credible. Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not perceived through any of the five the senses. It is the ability of the mind to build mental scenes, objects or events that do not exist, are not present or have happened in the past.

“Memory is actually a manifestation of imagination - Remez Sasson Did you know…? Yes I know you do! -The brain can't distinguish between what you vividly imagine and what you actually experience…? - "Imagination is Priceless"

Everything that is seen was made from the unseen? - That we think in pictures? - Everything is possible with our imagination? I like what God did to Abram's imagination… Lets' see: Genesis 15:5 Then he took him outside and said, "Look at the sky. Count the stars. Can you do it? Count your descendants! You're going to have a big family, Abram! God took Abram (Abraham) outside the tent – his old way of thinking, his limited vision of himself and the future. God revealed to him a larger, bigger and better vision; expanding his imagination.

I believe that is how your future is like – brighter, bigger and better, filled with joy and peace of mind. “If you can see it in your head, you can hold it in your hand”

You visualize in order to actualize. With your imagination you can walk through the past- exploring it and also experience the future – seeing it before it happens. Winners expect to win in advance. See yourself as what you want to be, do and have and also act as if… Fake it till you make it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, five-time Mr. Universe, four-time Mr. Olympia, had this to say about his training; “ As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can....I visualized myself being there already - having achieved the goal already. It's mind over matter.” When Richard Chandler interviewed Arnold Schwarzenegger about how he was going to become a movie superstar he said the same thing... “I imagined myself…” I don't know what your limits have been in the past, your old believes about yourself and what you expect, but take off the limits for what is in your future is bigger than what is in your past. Use your imagination, blow it up. It is possible. Go and achieve more. God bless you.

“There are no speed limits with your imagination – explore it”
