How often have you heard people say ‘Just imagine’?
How often does your mind prompt you to ‘imagine’?
How does it feel to roam around in the world of ‘imagination’,
without any strings attached?
What does ‘imagination’ mean to you?
Defined as the
process of creating images, ideas, plans and desires in the faculty of mind;
imagination is a vast world without any limits. As one thinks about novel
ideas, new possibilities and newer innovations, imagination is the first act
that initiates it all. Imagination is not bounded by any guidelines or clear
specifications. It prompts everyone to think beyond the usual, crafting plans
for betterment and progress. As imagination has no limits, it is essential to restrict
its involvement towards constructive ideas alone. By letting our imagination run
far and wide, we allow creativity into our life. Abstract arts in the fields of
fine arts, writing and performing sector are examples of some aspects that involve
this faculty of imagination.
Imagination inspires
us to engage our mind in a totally different way. Beyond the usual realities
that appear within the scope of our visualization, imagination prompts us to do
something different. As we think about the course of future, this imagination
forces us to frame our dreams, picturize their reality and make necessary
changes in the action. Imagination is the only means to go beyond our limits
and listen to the voice of mind. Imagination poses as the root of every innovation.
Every successful utility, service, amenity or invention that has reached us
till date was born out of someone’s imagination. Unless one imagines, one
cannot expect materialization in the future. Active imagination today is the first
step towards prosperous output tomorrow.
Imagination is an
essential ingredient that works in every domain of our life. From domestic
plans pertaining to the household to work-related projects, from exciting ideas
about luxury and relaxation to dreams about the future, imagination manages to
cast its spell all around. Thinking about novel ideas and making frequent trips
to the world of imagination are healthy ways to exercise our mind. We often
tend to limit our potential based on the approval of the society. If our ideas
and plans fall beyond the usual specifications defined by others, we lose faith
in its outcome. At times like these, imagination performs its job as it forces
us to invest some moments in our thoughts.
Imagination does not
relate to significant or serious matters alone. It can also be employed for
some doses of fun and humor. Imagining funny situations and circumstances can
give way to pure entertainment. Children with active imagination radiate energy,
enthusiasm and zeal for success, happiness, prosperity and peace. While they engage
their minds into never-seen or heard before possibilities, they pave way for an
exciting future. Imagination opens the door to possibilities, opportunities,
achievements and development.
With this thought in mind, I was tempted to run away with my
imagination. Let me take you to some of these hilarious pieces of mind.
1. Just imagine, if men gave birth!
Wouldn’t it be fun to see men with their
baby bumps? Holding their patience for nine months, while worrying about their
body in the process.
(Dear
Hubby, I hope God listens to this novelty for a change)
2. Just imagine, if there was no concept of ‘food.’
What kind of world would it be, without any
food at all? The core of our existence, life without food would be totally
different by all means.
(Whatever be the output, materialization of
this imagination could definitely erase troubles of weight gain, exercising,
dieting and cooking!)
3.
Just
imagine, if there was no concept of ‘money’…
Another life changing imagination, would this mean
no work, no job, no worries and no responsibilities? Enjoy this imagination till
it lasts, after all life without money would be nothing less than a dream land.
(Think about freedom from bank balance for a
while, feels good, right?
4. Just imagine if increasing age had no
effects on our body?
No wrinkles, no
grey hair, no tiredness and an ever-green body! Life could definitely not get
better than this.
(Apologies to anti-ageing creams, hair dyes
and anti-wrinkles creams, this was not imagined to put you out of business!)
5.
Just
imagine if the entire world constituted of just one large country….
This would put
an end to passports, visas, nationalities, wars, competitions and foreign
affairs. Though it sounds tempting, think about the governing body to handle
such a huge nation.
(What about our patriotic and competitive spirit,
how will we cheer our contenders in Olympics, World cup or Beauty pageants?)
Each of these
imaginative ideas seem totally unrealistic, but that is exactly what they were meant
for. Thinking beyond the usual and creating unusual images in the mind is the
first step towards something big. Allow your mind to wander and sharpen your
imagination, after all routine is boring but novelty is not!
