When you were a child, did you have an imaginary friend? Did you play dress up or fantasize you lived on a spaceship?

Remember how free you once were?

What happened?

Life. Responsibilities. Being a “grown up.”

It happens to ALL of us, even the artists and the creators. Because how we believe we are supposed to live in the world, often shuts down our imagination. The good news, however, is that your imagination is fully intact! It may be a little dormant, but it’s tucked away in the attic of your mind ready to come out and play.

So what do you say? Ready to feel more inspired? Awake? Alive?

We can dismiss imagination as child’s play but the truth is that EVERY aspect of what we do is fueled by imagination, and not just for the artists either.

 1. Imagination is Real Life

We are constantly creating our world with our thoughts, our words, and ultimately, our actions. An example is when I started a school. The first part was to imagine what the most engaging and fun school could look like. From there, we created it.

This is true for you too.

Think about your own career trajectory. What did you help birth? Maybe it was a newsletter, a policy or a logo. Even your own business! All of these came from your imagination.

2. Imagination is Unlimited

Seriously.

The only thing holding it (or you) back are the limitations you put on it (and yourself.) The “I can’ts” or the “I could nevers…”

If you can imagine it you can create it.

When I was in Tanzania, I saw my first Baobab trees. They are truly mind blowing. From looking at them, I hatched a plan to create a tree sculpture which I’ve been working on for over a year. 

3. Everything Comes from Imagination

What would you do if there was no one or nothing stopping you?

Allow yourself to think whatever that is! Give yourself permission to dream.

And dream big!

Not only are you worth it but the world in its current iteration desperately needs your imagination!

Think about the powerful transformation we can all create through the power of imagination.   

Be brave. Be bold and unleash that imagination to be the engine that fuels new thinking and new ways of being!
