John Lennon penned the song that lives on today and provides such inspiration, hope and vision and in doing so he hit upon a truly powerful notion that we must explore here in this space!
Imagine!!!
The ability to imagine is a GIFT to us and a remarkable tool we need to utilize as we strive to achieve the life WE ARE MEANT TO LEAD!
I touched upon "day dreaming" in a prior post and discussed my passionate feeling that it is critical to our development that we "visualize" often if we are to move past our current situation! (scroll to read on right).
Well - Visualization and Imagination are two peas in a pod! They go hand in hand and are interchangeable!!
Here is an idea that I think you will be able to put to use as you visualize the life you WANT to lead -as opposed to the current situation you may be experiencing!
IMAGINE - close your eyes and imagine exactly what life would be like if you could:
-- Wake up every morning refreshed and excited and enthusiastic about the day to come
-- You NEVER let any action or situation put you in a bad mood - or take you out of your game!
-- You truly enjoyed interacting with other people and listening to them and discovering how you can help them be happier, more fulfilled, more positive.
-- Not experience FEAR or ANXIETY or WORRY (The Three Deadly Horsemen of our minds) in reaction to circumstances or situations we encounter.
-- Learn to love and cherish EVERY moment in our lives and TRULY EXPERIENCE the blessings we all have in our lives that we take for granted!
-- Approach any situation with confidence and compassion and fearless - knowing that your faith and beliefs will carry you through anything that is thrown at you!
Wouldn't these things be PHENOMENAL - How do you imagine you would feel and act?
A little differently than you do today perhaps?
How great would it be to be around someone like the person you are about to become - that type of person above? The NEW you!
Right now - observe how you feel thinking about living your life this way - I bet you feel enthused, rejuvenated, excited and full of positivism - full of HOPE!
Well - the GREAT NEWS is that you CAN do this - and you can do this TODAY!!!!
You must use the gift of imagination -- ERASE ALL the old, musty, negative and dragging memories that constantly haunt our mind whenever we try to break out and away!
These old inhibiting and false beliefs are there SOLELY to keep you Grounded like a tree with 100 foot roots --- YOU MUST FACE THEM and flush them out TODAY!!
You are not the same person you were in High School - College - heck, perhaps not even last week! So stop dwelling on other people's judgements and beliefs of what you CAN and CANNOT do!!
BELIEVE that you are growth seeking and that ANYTHING you have done in the past is best left right there -- in the PAST!!!
Open your mind - IMAGINE a life you would love to lead - IMAGINE the person you want to be on a daily basis -- THEN take a first step toward becoming that person! ACT - and follow your heart!
Say goodbye to the OLD YOU -- He/She no longer exists! This is the Funeral - Today - of that person!!
NOW is YOUR TIME - NOTHING is holding you back now! No one can Stop you and No one can discourage you from living the "perfect" life!
Believe it - Imagine it - and Go Do It!!
I believe in YOU! Now it is your turn!
Stay Strong!
