In Your Imagination

“Great Living Starts With A Picture Held In Your Imagination Of What You Would Like To Do Or Be .”

“The world is a canvas for your imagination, you are the painter. There are no rules get to work.” Isn’t it ironic that the one place that many of us are afraid to venture into is the very space that we are meant to access our creativity? The unknown or in other words allowing ourselves to live in our imagination.  From the tender years of a child but limited to a specific age living in our imagination is allowed and accepted, but as an adult to be openly excited about living in your imagination is frowned on and almost classified as one being immature or crazy. The truth is our imagination is that one thing that never leaves us it is a gift that as a kid without any lessons needed it comes naturally.  In our imagination there is freedom, room to explore all of our thoughts and feelings without judgement. The mind can be used as a safe space of creativity or an uncomfortable space of negativity depending on the quality of our thoughts. from the time we rise up in the morning until we take it down for the night, we are experiencing constant changes in our mind, our emotions, based on our experiences throughout that day.  Hoping for the best and expecting the unexpected is one of the secrets to having an open mind to the fact of life’s constant changes. The real question is after being born with gifts and heightened instincts, feeling free and connected to our true self, to then having your factory settings changed how do you get back to that place of freedom?

The truth is we never know how bad our conditions are until we get preview to something new which sends off signals that were already there but have been suppressed by the ultimate rules of life. I won’t say that we way we have been taught was wrong, but I will say it has robbed us of our true nature to be independent in our thinking and being. The problem is most people lose the opportunity to change that because when presented with the option to settle or soar settling feels safe and it is familiar. Choosing to soar can be scary and very uncomfortable but the truth is it we have to learn to look beyond what it looks and feels like temporarily in order to receive the benefits in the long run. Unfortunately we live in a world that if we are not confident and secured In who we are our existence becomes centered around making sure that we fit in with what is accepted , we look like every one else ,and we are singing the same notes. The reality is that is truly a recipe for disaster, God cannot and will not ever bless who we pretend to be, and people will either love and accept you for you and not the character you have created.  It is not an accident that as people we are all connected by a source that is greater than ourselves despite our differences in believes we are all created with our own unique differences. It is important that we strive to accept and love our whole selves just as God has created us and in return begin to be open to loving and accepting each other in our differences and what connects us.  As you continue to grow and connect with your true self the more unapologetic you become about making choices that are serving you and adding value to your life and the less the opinions of others truly matter.

Life is a gift and journey, but I want to remind you that is okay to make life our adult playground, climb the monkey bars of life and if you fall get back up brush the dirt off and climb again. Hurt and disappointment is something that we will experience on more than one occasion in our lives and for every experience there is a lesson and a blessing but through it all be always open to forgive and love again.  The manual of life is ours to read and strive to understand, God gives us signs and confirmations daily to know that He is always with us and that all things are working according to His will. Our life is not on delay and we certainly do not have the power to speed up the process, but what we do have is the ability to master self and be in control of our thoughts and perspectives on life. There will be days that life feels like a breeze , there will be days where life feels like an hurricane or an earth quake just hit you , but the great news is that after every storm there is a sense of  peace and calmness that comes after to remind us of the beauty of trusting God and being present to his love.  Life is what we make me it  , commit to investing time each day to giving and being your best in all that you do but most importantly stay true to yourself and be free to live, love ,laugh , and dream unapologetically. God has great intentions and plans for our life let us not self-sabotage by being distracted by fear and needing to be in control of the facts of life that is out of our control Allow God To Work!
