Imagination is our ability to create new ideas, to reshape
our reality and go to places we’ve never been before.
Every time you stop for a quick daydream, you use your imagination – How would your life change if this or that actually happened?
Maybe you haven’t realized this yet, but if you think long enough about something you wish to happen, you are one step closer to making it become reality.
Of course, we’re not talking about magic here – merely thinking about something won’t make it pop up in your face. But when you wish for something long enough, your brain will start guiding you towards your goal by giving you new ideas on how to make it real. Once you have those ideas, you just have to take action.
When we read a good book, imagination allows us to build and
experience a whole new world. The author gives us the canvas and the brush, but
we’re the ones painting the image.
Isn’t it amazing how you can travel anywhere at the speed of light, feel free and detach yourself from life’s struggles, and change whatever you want to change, just by using your imagination?
Here are 27 quotes about imagination to help reshape your reality:
Love what you do and do what you love. Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. You do what you want, what you love. Imagination should be the center of your life.
