Power of Imagination
by Ryan Linderson
Our minds are powerful tools. More powerful than most people think. Underestimating the power of our mind seems to be a common condition.
The ability to use our imagination is one of the things that seperates us from the animals. It enables us to see ourselves in the future doing things we want. Not just things we need to to survive. We hope and dream. We use the power of imagination.
Imagination is just one of the amazing tools encased in our skulls, but I dare say, it is the most important one. Many great athletes have said the number one reason they had such success was not their talent, or their hard work, but the ability to imagine they could do it. They could see themselves where they wanted to be and that enabled them to find a path to get there.
Have you ever imagined something you wanted? Have you ever imagined you could go somewhere or do something most people would tell you you couldn’t? Sure you have, everyone has. The difference between those who get those things and those who don’t is the burning desire to make that picture in their heads reality.
So many dream, and so few do anything more than that. I call imagination a ‘tool’ because I believe it is just that, a tool. It is something that must be used to produce results.
Life is all cause and effect. Every effect has a cause. Nothing just happens. If you’re overweight, there’s a reason it happened. If you’re terribly out of shape, there’s a cause. But here’s the best part, you can change. Use the tool of imagination to see the effect you desire. Weight loss, overall fitness, whatever is it. Your mind will find a way to get there.
Nothing worthwhile in life come easy.
Imagination is a powerful tool, but you still need to work hard. You still need to bust your butt. You need to sweat, you need to get sore, you need to cut out the junk food. You need to focus your mind.
Think you can’t? I beg to differ.
Here’s a little tip that works for me. For example, say you have a goal of completing a certain walk in a specific amount of time. Instead of imagining yourself just walking, imagine yourself celebrating after you achieve the goal. Do this while you are walking. Picture yourself nailing the time you wanted and being happy. Simple.
This tool isn’t just for fitness of course. You can use it in every aspect of your life. Career, finances, relationships, anything. The first step is seeing it in your head and believing it WILL happen.
Use your imagination to push you to the next level. Constantly strive to improve, and you will.
