Imagine your future

We often forget that imagination is one of the strongest force in the universe 

Einstein said it well: Imagination is more important than knowledge

We also associate imagination with the Arts, or some form of creative endeavour. Yet, it's a tool that can be used in every areas of our lives. Imagination can be about small things as well as big. Interestingly, big things that were imagined often started as small ones.

Imagining helps us cope with an often bleak reality. We can create the world we want to live in, stories that ends the way we want, actions that gets the right results...without getting too delusional of course. It also stretches our minds, allowing us to become better, more fulfilled, more interesting to others. And once the mind is stretched, it'll never come back to its original state (Oliver Wendell Holmes said that.)

Another secret of imagination is that it can create the world we'll live in tomorrow. 

Take Science Fiction for example, you can't get more creative than that. Well, the world those writers create is defining our world of tomorrow. What they made-up, someone, somewhere is working on it and might even give it the shape and form of the same object seen on cinema screen...Imagine that : )
