Napoleon Hill, the author of the famous book “Think And Grow Rich” said that “the imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force that the world has ever known”.

The medium that you are using right now to read this article was created through imagination. Everything you see around you, cars, plans, houses, electric polls, bridges, television, etc… were created with imagination.

If humankind didn’t have this marvelous mental faculty we would still be living in the same way that we did in the middle age. Aren’t you glad that your marvelous brain is able to imagine? Yes, indeed, our imagination is a vital instrument of our life as we know it? Do you know that you can use YOUR imagination to create the life that you want? Maybe you are thinking that you don’t have a lot of imagination, but is that so?

Try to remember yourself as a child. Were you imagining that you were being places or someone you weren’t? Were there a lot of images (imagination) going on into your brain? Did you have an imaginary friend maybe? If you remember yourself as a child with a lot of imagination, most likely you have the ability to imagine as an adult as well.

Imagination, of course takes place in the brain and as any function of the brain, the more you use it the more it will work for you. If you were to put your arm in sling it would eventually become useless. On the other hand if you were to lift weights on a regular basis, that same arm would become very strong and enlarged. It is the same thing with your brain. The more you use it the more it will work efficiently.

How to develop your imagination faculties

Imaging yourself in extraordinary situations that will bring you all the happiness and pleasure you would ever want in life. Remember, make that imagination brain muscles work and get stronger and stronger.
