Imagination Rules the World
Imagination is something that in my opinion doesn't get the credit that it deserves. Many people discount imagination as something childish or necessary only for writers and artists. Well, I have come to believe that it is THE most important ingredient to an amazing life!
For as far back as I can remember, I have always been artistic so I had a type of imagination that I would describe as 'possible'. meaning I limited my imagination to things that I considered possible for me to create. My Sweetie, on the other hand, has the type of imagination that I would describe as 'infinite'. It's important to understand the difference so that you can get a feel for where you might be.
So when I would imagine something, anything, part of my imagination process would include the 'HOW' or specifically what steps I would take to get this 'thing' from my mind into my physical reality. My Sweetie never thinks about the How, honestly, he never gives it any thought at all! 😲
As you may have guessed, in our early years together this was a source of great frustration for me. I was always one who had to know exactly what I was going to do before I began and he was the exact opposite! ☯ But what I have come to learn is that the true magic happens when these styles work together in harmony.
If you know who Bashar is you may have heard him describe imagination as "I - Magi - Nation". Basically, he is saying that we are a nation of magical creators.
Thanks to the personal and spiritual growth I have gone through, I have been able to allow my imagination to come up with more infinite ideas because I now know that whatever skills, material, or information I need in order to get this 'thing' from my mind into my physical reality they will be revealed to me at exactly the perfect time!
Albert Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."
Allowing my imagination to run wild takes me to some wonderful and magical places, it lets me experience things that I could never have before, it has helped me to create an Amazing Life, and it is just one of the reasons why I believe that Life is so easy!

What a wonderful and inspiring article.
It reminded me of something that happened back in 1998.
My husband was asked to teach a group of unemployed artists to make homepages. They hated the idea. But since they received social aid as unemployed, they didn't have much choice.
They were supposed to use Microsoft's homepage builder (I've forgotten the name), but instead of showing them how to use it, the menues and its features, he told them to make a drawing of how they wanted their homepage to look.
Then they started building it, based on their drawings.
While they drew their homepages, they had no idea of whether it would be possible to make it like that or not. They had no idea of how the program worked, its limitation or features.
Those became some of the most creative and beautiful homepages I'd ever seen. Because they didn't limit themselves with knowledge about what was possible. They created. Then they made it possible.
I am happy you enjoyed the post 💙
Thank you for sharing your story! 😄 That was a wonderful example of what I was talking about. No doubt your husband planted some seeds in the minds of those people that day about what's possible when you don't limit yourself.
I hope that he is still teaching in some capacity because he obviously has a gift!
To me, this is what true inspiration is all about! Doing something so profound that 20 years later it is still impacting lives.... WOW! Just Amazing! Something to strive for, for sure!
I see that you are a fellow animal lover, I will be following you for sure! 😊 💙 🌻
