[00:03.45]The Power of Imagination
[00:05.07]Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something
[00:10.56]that is not perceived through the senses.
[00:12.77]It is the ability of the mind to built mental scenes,
[00:16.50]objects or events that do not exist,
[00:19.10]are not present or have happened in the past.
[00:22.63]Memory is actually a manifestation of imagination.
[00:26.49]Everyone possesses some imagination ability.
[00:30.33]In some it may be highly developed and
[00:33.93]in others it may manifest in a weaker form.
[00:36.92]It manifests in various degrees in various people.
[00:40.35]It manifests in various forms, one of which is daydreaming.
[00:45.54]Though too much idle daydreaming may make one impractical,
[00:49.36]some daydreaming, when not being engaged in something
[00:53.26]that requires attention, provides some temporary happiness,
[00:56.77]calmness and relief from stress.
[00:59.51]In your imagination you can travel anywhere in the speed of light
[01:03.77]without any obstacles. It can make you feel free,
[01:07.58]though temporarily, and only in the mind, from tasks,
[01:11.54]difficulties and unpleasant circumstances.
[01:14.64]A developed and strong imagination
[01:17.60]does not make you a daydreamer and impractical.
[01:21.05]On the contrary, it strengthens your creative abilities,
[01:25.11]and is a great tool for recreating
[01:28.08]and remodeling your world and life.
[01:30.62]This is a great power that can change your whole life.
[01:33.73]It is used extensively in magic,
[01:36.44]creative visualization and affirmations.
[01:39.35]It is the creator of circumstances and events.
[01:42.75]When you know how to work with it,
[01:45.29]you can make your hearts' desires come true.
[01:48.28]Imagination has a great role and value in each one's life.
[01:52.05]It is much more than just idle daydreaming.
[01:55.18]We all use it, whether consciously or unconsciously,
[01:58.88]in most of our daily affairs.
[02:01.30]We use our imagination whenever we plan a party,
[02:05.33]a trip, our work or a meeting.
[02:07.24]We use it when we describe an event,
[02:10.01]explain how to arrive to a certain street, write,
[02:13.67]tell a story or cook a cake.
[02:16.11]Imagination is a creative power
[02:18.84]that is necessary for inventing an instrument,
[02:21.34]designing a dress or a building,
[02:23.29]painting a picture or writing a book.
[02:26.06]The creative power of imagination has an important role
[02:30.44]in the achievement of success in any field.
[02:33.20]What we imagine with faith and feelings comes into being.
[02:37.16]It is the power beyond creative visualization,
[02:40.76]positive thinking and affirmations.
[02:43.22]Visualizing an object or a situation,
[02:46.78]and repeating often this mental image,
[02:49.21]attracts the object or situation into our lives.
[02:52.70]This opens for us new, vast and fascinating opportunities.
[02:57.86]This means that we should think only in a positive manner
[03:01.74]about our desires, otherwise we may create
[03:05.51]and attract into our lives, events,
[03:07.25]situations and people that we don't really want.
[03:10.91]This is actually what most of us do,
[03:13.53]because we don't use the power of imagination correctly.
[03:17.24]If you do not recognize the importance of
[03:20.18]the power of the imagination, and let it run riot,
[03:24.21]your life may not be as happy and successful
[03:27.50]as you would have wanted it to be.
[03:29.70]Lack of understanding of the power of the imagination is
[03:33.61]responsible for the suffering, incompetence,
[03:36.45]difficulties, failures and unhappiness people experience.
[03:41.19]For some reason, most people are inclined to think in a negative way.
[03:46.70]They do not expect success. They expect the worst,
[03:50.54]and when they fail, they believe that fate is against them.
[03:54.33]This attitude can be changed, and then life will improve accordingly.
[03:59.49]Understanding how to use your imagination correctly,
[04:02.56]and putting this knowledge into practice,
[04:05.13]for your own and others' benefit,
[04:07.37]will put you on the golden path to success,
[04:10.05]satisfaction and happiness.
