If you have no control over
your history because it is in the past, you have control over your imagination
as you are a creative human being. Most people can spend their time talking to
friends, relatives and colleagues about their misfortunes and their laborious
past. They will spend hours trying to gain others sympathy about the bad things
that happen to them, and the more you talk about your past problems the more
you keep them alive in your life. You have to remember that you cannot change
the past however hard you try but, you can do something in the present to
influence the future. Living out of your history is the preferred game of so
many who are not aware of the impact that behaviour will have on their
circumstances.
You have the ability to
create a perfect future for yourself with your imagination which is an
extraordinary tool that allows you to create in your mind anything you want. In
order to live your dream, you must first create it and the best way to create
it in your mind is through your imagination. A man who conceived a wonderful
piece of art died just before he received delivery of his order. When it was
deliver to the family by the artist who made it, someone watching with
amazement of its beauty exclaimed that it was unfortunate that the dead man did
not live to see the result of the beautiful art. The artist who was standing
nearby listened and told the admirer that the man actually saw it before
placing the order. He was the first to see it that is the reason the finished
product was made, it was sculpted according to the vision of his originator.
Two men were jailed for five
years for a crime they committed, one of them chose to wallow in self-pity and
resigned himself to living like a damned. The other one decided to fight his
circumstances with his imagination, by making plan to have a different life at
his release. Every day, he will imagine the new life he wanted and the kind of
business he wanted to own, the house, the area, his perfect wife and the kind
of friends he desired to make. Every single day like a clockwork, he will
retreat to a corner of his cell to imagine his ideal life and how he was going
to work to achieve and live it. He was so motivated that he never missed a day
without his ritual and, kept adding new pieces to the puzzle.
He stuck to that routine
until his release from prison where an old friend help him by giving him a job.
He started saving and put his plan into action by starting a part time business
on the site after his day job. He dedicated all is free time building his new
venture so much so that in six months, he was making his monthly salary in a
week. He quit his day job after a year to work full time on his business. He
used his imagination to transform his life from a jailbird to a wealthy man.
