Uncontrolled imagination manifests as limited possibilities – controlled imagination manifests as unlimited possibilities

Controlled imagination, not just imagination, unlocks unlimited possibilities

Imagination opens the door for possibilities and all we need to do is look back upon the dreamers of our times and earlier and this is apparent. For example, the vision of Henry Ford, the thoughts of Bill Gates, the imagination of George Lucas and there are many, many more great thinkers we can list to support this idea. However, a truly successful life manifests not merely from imagination, but from controlled imagination.

Uncontrolled imagination is akin to wild horses running through the grasslands of our country

Imagination is the key to success and we must rein-in our imagination to receive what is rightly ours from the benevolent Creator. One’s uncontrolled imagination can be compared to a wild horse running erratically throughout the grass lands. While this wild and beautiful spirit is wondrous to behold, it does little to help you advance to your goals.

Idol dreamers choose new goals like they change their socks, the results are then predictable

And if a person chases one goal this week and then another next week, that person is an idol dreamer and not a determined doer. Pursuing the flavor of the week can never make you successful. This must be the case since uncontrolled imagination does not allow the universe to catch-up with your ideas, with all the necessary pieces of the puzzle needed to achieve a goal before the ideas and goals change again. 

The universe requires a certain lag time, based on universal laws, to provide what is necessary to achieve your goal

There is a lag time which is necessary and cannot be circumvented with money, fame, or charm. Uncontrolled imagination can only leave you frustrated and unhappy since you can never reach your true potential.   

The fabric of your being can be changed trough controlled imagination

On the other hand, when you learn to possess controlled imagination, you have the ability to change the fabric of your destiny. You have the future in your very hands and the means to achieve what you desire. This idea correlates with the vision many experts hold of the holographic universe where we are not spectators, but creators.

Endless possibilities equal endless means to achieve your wants, dreams, and desires

Due to the malleable universe, we have the power to change what will be. In a universe where there are endless possibilities, you have the means to direct your own future. This future can be a fulfilling one or it can be a frustrating one, it all depends upon your ability to have a controlled imagination.   

DEEP FAITH is the first step to accomplishing that whish you desire

The first step to having a controlled imagination is to have complete faith in the Creator: deep faith then manifests calmness and assuredness that you will succeed. This state of mind then permits you to access the power of the universe and when you are in control of your emotions, you are in control of your imagination. There are also daily exercises to gain, retain, and sustain control over your imagination.

Your controlled imagination unites with visualization to cerate your future

A proven method is visualization which helps you to sharpen your focus upon what you desire. Hold the thoughts of your goal in your mind and think from the future about your goal.

Meditation goes hand-in-hand with a controlled imagination

Another method to help, if you lack the ability to remain fixated upon your goal, is the practice of meditation. If you cannot commit many years of training to meditate effectively, many companies have CD’s that help to focus your mind and receive the most amount of benefit. 

Your destiny is controlled by your ability to take charge of your imagination

Control your imagination – control your destiny. In a world that spins wildly and creates many diversions for success, you hold the key to your success.

Your immediate and long-term success depends upon your desire, emotion, and action.

How do you define success?

Success in life can mean a number of things to different people. Some chase fame, many want material goods, while others pursue the peace and harmony that results from spiritual attainment. Nevertheless, no matter how diverse success is defined, there are three essential ingredients necessary for a life of personal achievement. Desire, emotion, and action are powerful forces that can lead a person to achieve the ultimate success in their life. 

Desire, a deep burning desire for your goal can help you achieve the seemingly unachievable.

In Napoleon Hill’s writing’s, he clearly believed that desire was critical for achieving success. However, it must be a burning desire, a desire for fulfillment that takes over your entire life and you simply must reach the goal desired in your mind in spite of any and all obstacles.

Belief in achieving your goal is not enough to achieve your goal.

Although people may believe they have an intense desire for their goal, they never realize what they’re after. They let excuses get in their way. They don’t have the money needed to start a new business or they don’t possess the knowledge or the time just isn’t right. They allow their present circumstances to rob them of their desire. 

Excuses can dose your burning desire to reach your goal.

When you feel that your burning desire is waning, it is crucial to rekindle the flame and remain focused upon the end goal, and not allow excuses to take away your need for success.

The intensity of your emotions helps you achieve what you desire most in this life.

The second part of the equation is having emotions for the goal you want to achieve. The intensity of your emotions helps you get around, over, or under the obstacles that can be put between you and your goal. Positive emotions of faith, abundance, enthusiasm, expectancy, passion, and gratitude change your psychological and physiological Self.

Your outer world mirrors your inner world.

Just think when you’re sad: your outside mirrors your inside since there’s no hiding your true Self. Now, think when you’re happy: you feel good on the inside and your outer Self reflects that good feeling as you walk tall and confident. You are harmonious with the universe and your goal.

Harmony between your goals and your thoughts manifests your goals.

In turn, being in harmony with the Natural Laws opens up the floodgates of the universe to bring together the people, the circumstances, and the right moment for your personal success. So, look in that mirror and get those emotions out, they’re crucial for personal success.

Action is often missed; you cannot achieve your goals through inaction.

Even though one’s desires and emotions are in harmony, a goal can never be accomplished unless you take action. Actions produce results that bring success. It’s clear that the little things done consistently bring about huge results over time.

Plan what action you will take daily to reach your goal.

In order to achieve your goals, plan daily and be sure to do the most important thing needed on a daily basis to succeed. It’s wise to start your day off on a positive note and write down what you need to do that day to get closer to your dreams.    

Manifest your goals through desire, emotion, and action…it’s the Law.

No matter how you look at life, a healthy dose of desire, emotion, and action will result in the manifestations of your goals.

While you have no choice from where you start, you have the choice of where you end.

Most don’t come from wealth or fame…most work for wealth or fame

Most of us didn’t grow up in luxury and we certainly didn’t have a say in who our parents were or what level of success they reached in their lives. Even though we had no control or say over our beginnings, many use their past as an excuse to prevent them from achieving their future.

We plot our own course in life

Nonetheless, in spite of our humble beginnings, we can make the decision and take the action to end up where we want to be in our life.

An example of BIG dreams and BIGGER accomplishments

Many years ago on a desolate beach near Barranquilla, Colombia, a young girl would spend her Sundays dreaming about her future. Those weekend trips were the backdrop for her thoughts of traveling to foreign countries and becoming a well-known celebrity.

An unlikely place for fame to germinate and grow

This seemed an unlikely place for a child to grow up and become a superstar in the entertainment world. Just a childhood thought you may say? Well, after years of holding these lofty thoughts in her mind, they manifested on a large scale for Isabel Mebarak Ripoll. Miss Ripoll, better known to the world as Shakira, became a successful singer, songwriter, dancer, producer, actress and philanthropist as a result of her thoughts. Shakira could have used her humble beginnings as an excuse for remaining in a life of poverty…thankfully, she didn’t.

Poor beginnings wasn’t an excuse

Then there’s the amazing story of the most successful jockey in history who was inducted into The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1958. Edward (Eddie) Arcaro was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1916, the son of a poor taxi driver. Although he had very poor beginnings, he didn’t let anything stand in his way of success.

100 defeats before 1 victory

When he started his career as a jockey he lost the first 100 races he entered. During his early days, he broke bones and never crossed the finish line first, nevertheless, he still hung-on tenaciously to his dreams.

An amazing career

Eddie’s career spanned 30 years and during that time he won 4779 races and notched up the highest earnings of any jockey to date. He also won The Kentucky Derby five times and The Triple Crown of Racing twice, in 1941 and again in 1948. Eddie Arcaro didn’t let his early life take away his future dreams.

Your present doesn’t dictate your future

We have read that many super stars grew-up in poverty and virtually had nothing, living in a bad part of town with a single parent and having no food, no money, and no heat in the winter time to keep them warm. If they would have let the reality of the moment take over their dreams, they never would have made it to be the legends we admire.

Create your future…by choice, not by default

Some of us are creating a future by choice while others are creating a future by default.  Don’t use the past as an excuse for your present or your future. Plot your own course for success and don’t allow excuses to get in your way for the future you deserve.
