Change Your World with Imagination

It’s amazing how one man’s imagination can make a huge difference in the hearts and in the minds of so many people. All the accolades of the Marvel universe started with Stan Lee’s IMAGINATION.

Webster’s dictionary defines imagination as “the faculty or action of forming new ideas, images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses”. To the renowned scientist Albert Einstein, it is more important than knowledge.

Imagination helps us, no matter what profession we are in, to become better versions of ourselves. Imagination gives us vision - the ability to foresee what what lies ahead - and wisdom on what path to take.

How do we develop our imagination? Here are some tips:

1. Start with the end in mind: Stan Lee always knew what he wanted. He wanted to be a famous comic book writer and pursued that dream no matter what challenges lie ahead of him. To be successful, you first need to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve.

2. Never be embarrassed or scared to pursue your dreams: As you pursue your dream, you will encounter many challenges that can somehow dampen your spirits. People or circumstances may try to discourage you, but remember, your dream is worth pursuing.

3. Take a day off every now and then, and have fun: When you are stressed and are bogged down by real time issues, you will not be able to focus on constructive imagination. Taking a break can help relax your mind and make creative ideas flow freely.

4. Read and read a lot: The more we read, the more enlightened we become. Reading empowers our minds and broadens its range. According to research, reading broadens our imagination by stimulating the right side of our brain.

Many great people have made a mark in this world through their imagination. If they can do it, you can do it too.
