Imagination

Through imagination, we can visualize the uncreated worlds of potential that lie within us.
Stephen R. Covey

Do you have a good imagination? Our parents often frown on a good imagination because they think you need to be realistic. They see fantasies as a waste of time because they don't help you survive in the real world. By the time children get to adulthood, they are caught up in dealing with the world they see all around them. There's work to do, there's a family to look after. Life has become serious.

The trouble with this, however, is that when we are focused on dealing with the things around us, they will not change. If real change is to occur, then someone has to have the imagination to visualize something better than what is around him right now. Someone needs to be thinking like "Some people see things as they are and ask Why. I see things as they never were and ask "Why not." Visualize the uncreated worlds of potential that lie within you. Dare to dream a better world.
