Imagine That

"There are enough genuine difficulties in life to encounter, don't allow your imagination to increase the number."
-- Neil Eskelin

Life is tough. It is supposed to be. Its through challenges and adversity that we grow. Eskelin is right on point! There will be enough genuine problems in life that we do not need to create more for ourselves by conjuring them up. An imagination fueled by fear will most certainly create difficulties for us. We will conjure up all kinds of things. The more we fear, the more we imagine. We will imagine things that will paralyze our hopes and dreams. We will imagine things that will inhibit us from beginning something new and we will imagine things that will convince it is time to quit something that is worthwhile.

Imagination is a gift. Innovations, Inventions and breakthroughs have all been spawned by the power of imagination. Imagination allows one to see things differently than what exists at the present. Our imagination should serve us, not hinder us. When we allow fear to control our imagination. We begin to move in the direction of creating the type of circumstances we fear most. The Good Book says, ""That which I feared most has come upon me."

Today is the day to stop letting your imagination create difficulties for you. Instead, let your imagination create circumstances designed to improve your lot and make life easier for you. It is important to remember the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself."

Let the Power of Imagination work for you - Imagine a better tomorrow!
