Albert Einstein once said, “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." My question to you, what had happened to imagination? Simply imagine how much you could accomplish if you got up an hour earlier without compromising your sleep, and this is only one idea. Over the years, this is what I have done without disturbing anyone in the morning, of course, I am as quiet as an elephant can be. In fact, what you are reading was written before the rooster crowed. This is the time of the day that I cherish very much, it is quiet, my mind is clear and there is a sense of excitement of what the day may bring. Often, no matter what it is, we tend to focus on the obstacles and not around or beyond those obstructions, making our goal obscure, so, we hold back.
Imagination is what furnishes the ability for the mind to be creative or resourceful. Imagination is what provided the vision for Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that made for the advancement of computer science. But some may contend that they could never be like them, and you are correct. However, similarly, they could never be like you either. There are seven billion people on this earth, and we are uniquely different in aptitude, different talents, and with different natural propensities. Imagination is what enables an artist to conceive a masterpiece, it is what enables a custom builder to make it into reality, it is the key to innovation. However, when someone is struggling with a problem, and you tell them to use their imagination, they simply get embarrassed. I have news for you, we all have a youngster that hides within us, no matter our age, do not constrain that child that will help you unleash the many possibilities. The thinking that of what we envisage is somehow less than logical reasoning, somehow it destroys, represses, or smothers wonderful ideas of innovation. I have seen it over and over, where an individual employs "empathic imagination," meaning, taking to heart the unfortunate circumstances of others. Think about it, throughout history there have been those that accomplished outstanding achievements, because of empathic imagination. they had determination, a purpose, something that was bigger than themselves, it is what spurred them on, and it can do the same for you. Reflect How different your life would be as a person and professionally if you were to implement the power of imagination? Make it a conscious effort to dream, especially, in connection with others since we are all inextricably linked.
