One evening sitting in a diner having a cup of coffee with a friend I took a moment to glance out the window and noticed a man passing by. It was someone walking to his car but what caught my eye was his slow stride, slummed shoulders and his head looking down as he walked. It was evident he was deep in thought. I wondered if he was sorting out a problem and what pictures was he playing in his mind..
Isn’t it interesting where a random thought can lead? In that instance of seeing that man a thought came to mind. ‘Our World is in our Head’. Our lives are a mirror of our thoughts. we create our lives by design or default. What we think about creates our reality, thus, ‘Our world is in our head’. It is said that everyone’s perception is his truth. We can’t change the circumstances but how we decide to perceive them is our choice.
Walt Disney was a dreamer who had in his head the vision for a place where dreams were celebrated. Today it is Disney World is known as “the happiest place on earth”. Thomas Edison was known for sitting in a rocking chair and thinking about solutions; imaging better ways to approach his inventions. He referred to these times as the “the land of solution”. Michelangelo saw the statue of David in a block of wood even before he carved it … he saw it in his mind first.
Disney, Edison and Michelangelo all believed in the ‘world was in their head’… their thoughts became things. They created their lives out of DESIGN not allowing themselves to be restricted by circumstances. The IMAGINATION is truly a gift. Priceless in helping us to live in our Vision and in helping guide us in creating a life we would love living.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” – Albert Einstein
Success is “between the ears’. What we focus on becomes our reality. Thoughts lead to feeling – feelings lead to actions and actions = results. If you look around at your current results, they tell you what you have been focused on. Are you walking through life shoulders slumped and head turned down? There is a better way to navigate through life. It begins with seeing yourself as a success, feeling yourself as a success, believing in your success; successful results. Change your thoughts and change your mind.
Awareness is key – notice what you are thinking. Affirm – Use your words to state what you want. Our words become the pictures in our mind… we think in pictures. Act on it! – Act ‘as if’ you are living the life you love living.
- Be OPTIMISTIC – expect the best!
- Be CREATIVE – plan your life by DESIGN not by DEFAULT.
- BELIEVE – in yourself …. Build your confidence.
- BECOME – Dare to Grow into the person God meant for you to be.
- Be WILLING – To Change your Habits
BECAUSE ……. The most important thing you can think about is your life. CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS AND CHANGE YOUR WORLD and live the life you IMAGINE.
“Never underestimate the power of the dreamer and the influence of the human spirit…. The potential for GREATNESS lives within each of us.” – Wilma Rudolf
