Imagine a little more...

Okay, some of you have been in my house before. This is a picture I just took with my phone sitting on my couch while writing this blog entry. I have a word above my fireplace that I see everyday when I come down the stairs and begin my day. It's a reminder to Imagine.

It's very important to me... to imagine. It's the key to many things... it's could be said that it's the key to everything. Friends always ask me what it means, why I have a frickin WORD above my fireplace instead of a some purdy picture.. lol

Before I explain, here's a quote I got today from Abraham that inspired me to write this entry in my blog right now:

"Leverage your time more by spending a little more time every day imagining and a lot less time every day doing. Do a little more imagining and a little more less doing. Until eventually most of what's happening is happening in the cool, calm, anticipatory state. Just imagine yourself into the successes, and watch what happens. Imagine a little more and act a little less." --- Abraham

Thank you Abraham, for reminding me today about this!

The reason it's prominent above my fireplace is as a reminder (as I mentioned) but also to spark conversation so that I can tell my friends about the importance of imagining. One of my favorite quotes (and ironically the name of my blog) is from Albert Einstein, who said: "Imagination is everything. It's the preview of life's coming attractions." That quote thrilled me the first time I heard it because of how true it is. How brilliant men and women of the past were who knew the secret of the Law of Attraction. What you put out there, is what you get back.

Therefore, what you imagine, dream, pray about, focus upon... is what WILL happen! As Abraham always says, "Every time, without exception!" I know it sounds strange to hear this, but it's true. It's the greatest law in the universe. If only we could stay in that mindset and not keep getting distracted by the negative nay-sayers or the conditioning we've had that keeps up limiting ourselves.

Think about it... when you're a child you're imagination is fresh and you have the best raw use of it. You're entire backyard at times was transformed into an ocean, and your swingset - a pirate ship. ;-) There are few limits and you think anything is possible. One day you're a doctor and the next day you're a pilot. It's wonderful! But it doesn't take long before our conditioning begins. From birth we're taught limitations. We're told "NO", and we're shown to believe what our parents what us to, including the introduction to religion (which becomes more controlling and suppressing). And slowly but surely, we begin to lose our imagination. We loose sight of the fact that we wanted to travel to other worlds, we lost sight of the fact that we wanted to travel the world on the ocean, or save lives, or whatever... we're taught that we are all different from each other. What a mess! What a LIE!

So do something for yourself, and I'll remain doing it for myself. IMAGINE!
