Imagination

Imagination drives us to play, create, and dream. If we let it run free we can accomplish great things, solve problems, and inspire others. Imagination is the expression of our true self completely unbridled.

When we are young we rely on imagination to fill in the gaps of what we do not know or understand. We imagine to escape from an otherwise boring world that we were born into and as we get older we are conditioned by this world to restrain this imagination. We are told to fall in line and climb comfortably into a box.

To experience true freedom is to escape from this physical world and let your imagination soar. We start by first learning who we truly are and what we like. If we like something we should imagine ways to create with it, for instance if I like cats I could write a story, a song or draw a comic about them. We like what we like and that should be used to fuel the imagination for creation.


We can change our world; all it takes is a little imagination. Every innovation in human history has been a direct result of imagination. We have a choice to make, do we wish to languish in this existence and never really be free, or do we wish to imagine a better world.

    1. Without imagination this world would be too boring for me to want to live in. Luckily the best part of us is that spark that creates endless universes.

  2. It is easy to destroy, but it takes effort to create. Our imaginations give us the ability to do just that. Worlds can be born from a single idea.

    1. True. Creating in a world beset with destructive forces is more than screaming at the dark, it's the pause button on entropy.
      Imagination is only a step away from empathy and empathy breeds compassion.

    2. As we begin to create we build momentum and the effort becomes more of a necessity as it consumes us. If we care the will to destroy becomes almost an impossibility.
