Imagine That!

Your Imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.

 

“Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.”  – Albert Einstein 

Do you look at a blank page and see a story full of adventure coming to life?  Do you look at a blank canvas and see the colors of a beautiful picture appear?  Can you walk into an empty room and picture it full of furniture and décor?   If you said yes to any of these, then you have a good imagination. 

 

Having a good imagination is genuine gift in life.  I love how my husband can look at an empty space and see what could be built. I am not that talented. I also love how some people go to a thrift stores to try and find a piece of old furniture that could be refinished into something usable and they do it.  They could look at an ugly, old rocking chair with painted wood and peeling fabric on its cushions and just like that, transform it into a beautiful stained wood rocker with brightly colored fabric cushions. My mother in law could do that.  She also knew how to sew and made beautiful clothes for her family. She used to buy fabric and made cushions, curtains, quilts. Amazing! 

 

I don’t know exactly how she did all that but I I wish I did; because I realize what a blessing it is to learn how to do that in this life. I know that in my own life this skill has helped me to recognize opportunities of potential that exist in everything you do. My husband can see potential in people at work. It has helped him to recognize talents that people hold potential to achieve, and it has helped him to see a vision for what he needs at work. 

 

“Anxiety uses imagination to picture something you don’t want.  Vision uses imagination to picture something you do want.  Either way, you tend to get what you focus on.  Imagine a future where you shine, others thrive, and the light of hope shines brighter in the world.  If you can see it, you can be it.”  – Ian Lawton
