Your Greatest Resource

Your greatest resource is your imagination. Your imagination has no limits. In your imagination you can fly. You can speak to the nation in your imagination. You can do anything you can fathom.

The key is to use your imagination in a guided way. You see, when you are faced with a problem, this is the perfect time to put your imagination to use. I’m not talking about fantasy. You could let your imagination play with the idea your “problem” doesn’t exist. But this is not using your imagination. It is simply allowing it to play without direction.

This use of imagination has its purpose as well. We all need a break form our world circumstances now and then. This is no different than sitting down in front of the television and watching a good movie. It is a break, nothing more. But this is not going to help you in making better of the situation that surrounds you. It gives you a reprieve, perhaps a needed one.

By using your imagination, I mean to say that you can guide it to bringing you the answers you need to alter your circumstance. The method is to first understand and believe that an answer is possible. You don’t even have to believe it exists. Just believe that it is possible.

Once you can accept that it is at least possible, you can then imagine yourself with the problem fully resolved. Enjoy this feeling for a while and really absorb the joy of the moment. Next comes the call to use your imagination to discover what might have caused the resolution of the problem. What can you imagine might have happened to have resolved this problem?

Could it have been something that you said or did? The idea is to focus on some action that you could actually control, a personal action or word that brought about the return to your being in complete control of your life.

Begin today to use your imagination as a tool to solve problems. Use your imagination to find the way to what it is that you are looking to accomplish. Use your imagination every day. The more you use it, the easier it becomes to use. Have fun with it, sure. But more than just being fun, remember it can be a very serious instrument in the designing of your future.

Imagine that!
