[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 1 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 2.

[00:45.54]Though too much idle daydreaming may make one impractical 3,

[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 4 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 5 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 6,

[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.
