Unleash the power of your imagination

Sometimes knowledge is our worst enemy. That may be hard to believe at first but if you think about it you will realize that it is absolutely true. You know that certain things are possible and certain things are not. These things frame what your limitations are, literally defining what you can and can not do.

Have you ever seen one of those cartoons with Bugs Bunny or the Roadrunner character where they just walk out on to thin air or trot across the ceiling for a scene or two? But when Yosemite Sam or Wile E. Coyote try to do the same thing they fail due to the laws of gravity and physics. Someone comments on it and the reply is that the other guy could do it because he never studied law.

Now this is an extreme case that is kinda funny and would never work in real life but there are a lot of real events that work exactly that way. There are hard set limitations that you can not do anything about. Without oxygen you are going to die. That's a fact. Written in stone right? Or is it? It is.
Unless you figure out what it is that oxygen does for your body and find some other way of providing that thing. OR find some way of making it so that your body can continue to function without that thing.

See most limitations are not real.They are statements that are only true if you can not change the circumstances that they deal with that cause them to be true. They are simply challenges that have yet to be solved. A healthy mind or group of minds using the power of their imagination given enough time can solve any problem.

Think about this. The people that often come up with the best and greatest solutions to our problems are younger minds. People who have not been firmly indoctrinated in the beliefs that define what can and can not occur accomplish things that we know are not possible. Their solutions often work because they were not aware of the obstacles that others see in solving the problem.

The way most people try to solve problems is by starting with the limitations of circumstance and attempting to jam ideas into the box so to speak. The way creative problem solvers solve problems is the opposite. They just look at the goal and work backwards wondering how to get from the goal to where everyone else is.

It is not that their thinking is outside the box. It is that they are often not even aware of the existence of said box.

Inside the box thinking is like we could do this if we could get past this thing. But this thing is in our way. We can't do much about it so we're kinda screwed. It is signified by a lot of "if onlys" or "it's too bads"

Outside the box thinking is more like what if we did this or that or worked it from this angle. Using your imagination has a lot more "what ifs" and "why don't wes"

And as always it comes down to choice. You always get to choose whether to use the power of your imagination to drive yourself on to success. Or you can choose to let obstacles get in your way.

There is no problem that you cannot solve with the power of your mind. So why don't you? Let go of what you know to be true and free your imagination. Test things that would work if known limitations did not exist and I guarantee you will be surprised with the results.
