It has been said in many ways, many times, but what if each of us unleashed the power of our imaginations. What if each time I had a negative thought about my body or aging: what if I get sick? what if I don't have enough money? What if, what if, what if . . . what if I took every speck of energy I put into negative outcomes and imagined my perfect world, caring and connected; my ideal body, strong and vibrant.
Somehow, today, I am seeing the power of directing my thoughts creatively, to what I can imagine is possible. It feels enormously liberating, as if I have the power to affect my life, as if I have power to help change the direction of our world. What if that's true? What if films were made that imagined a beautiful world instead of catastrophes and violence? What if we imagined aging as an unfolding of wisdom and true strength? What if imagining the positive empowered each of us to take positive actions, however small, to move in the direction of our visions. What if it made life easier, more fun?
What if?

Not to say we mustn't reflect, on what's wrong around us & act on it, but the outcomes of our dreams are the future, & it's looking pretty bright from here :-)
Thanks for this.
So, thinking in that same vein, we can't know what the future will bring, so WHY NOT picture it as wonderful and pleasant and a fulfillment of our deepest desires?
I know I visualized my current job and pictured my nameplate on the door and the view from my office window. I was up for a different job at the same place and was momentarily disappointed when I walked into the interview and was told that I wasn't going to be offered the position I was there for. Instead, they said they needed me for the one I'd been visualizing for seven years--which was not a posted position. It didn't strike me until later that OF COURSE I didn't get the job that I was interviewing for--it wasn't what I'd been telling the Universe I wanted. I got exactly what I had asked for!
