FREE Your Mind- Your Imagination Leads Your Destination

Words by Te-Erika

An active imagination shouldn’t be reserved just for children. There’s nothing wrong with adults who “wanna have fun” too. Whether you recognize it or not, you already have an active imagination but most times it is filled by images of lack or despair. You imagine the worst, assuring yourself that if you prepare for the worst, you won’t be as disappointed if it happens to come to pass.

When that disastrous imagined end does happen, your preparation won’t make the sting any less uncomfortable. Allow me to challenge your intuition by suggesting that those negative events didn’t occur by chance. Your imagination may have forced them into fruition.

The images we nurse in our minds on a daily basis are the blue print for our reality. The expectations of our mind, both disastrous and prosperous, seep into our being and are released as words or actions ultimately affecting our reality.

Have you ever felt like someone was out to get you? Did you watch them closely, observing their behavior until you found what you were looking for? You probably felt smart then didn’t you? But how smart could you be when you wasted your entire day looking over your shoulder and peeping around corners waiting for the shoe to drop? You were fearful and anxious and most certainly snippy with people who crossed your path creating an even more negative existence.
Imagine what your day could have been like if you had expected happy surprises all day. Imagine what your life would be like if instead of expecting the worst, you anxiously awaited your blessing.

In order to break away from a grim reality, you must first change your expectations. By changing your expectations you unknowingly take the lid off of the juicy goodness of your fantasy life.

It isn’t easy to break the habit of an expectation of heartache and loss. The best way to overcome this obstacle is to replace the bad habits with good ones. Fight through the negativity with affirmations and inspirational words. Step away from friends who want to wallow in despair and stir up fears in your life. Decide that you are awakening to a new beginning and allow a prosperous imagination to breed hope into your situation.

Your imagination leads your destination. You decide where you end up.
