(00:14):
Welcome to Love Notes from Rhonda.
And today let's talk about imagination.
Your imagination.
You know, they say that yourresults in life are only equal to
the level of your ability to imagine.
Imagination is one of ourgreatest tools, one of our greatest

(00:34):
forces.
One of the things that isinherent within each of us.
While some of us have adifficult time imagining things visually,
I. E. You know, red, blue, yellow.
Many of us imagine with afeeling or a sense or a scent.
So it doesn't matter how you imagine.
It may be just feeling basedor it may be a full on picture.

(00:59):
But what I want you to do isjust to allow your imagination to
run wild.
Allow your imagination to make up.
Allow your imagination to create.
Imagine.
Such a valuable and importantand underutilized word.
Imagine.

(01:20):
Imagine yourself as you'd liketo be.
Imagine yourself being aloving, fearless human being.
Confident, bold, fearless, famous.
A star in your own right, inyour own life.
Imagine.
Imagine finishing thatproject, writing that book, smiling

(01:46):
at strangers.
Imagine.
Imagine yourself doing thethings that maybe you've yearned
to do, cried to do, dared todo, begged to do, wanted to do, hoped
to do.
Imagine.
So I want you to stop rightnow and just allow yourself to imagine.

(02:09):
Now maybe when I ask you that,you immediately know what you imagine,
right?
You've been imagining it foryour whole life.
Well, that too is worth honoring.
That imagination that has beenwith you.
That dream, that goal, thatI'll just keep on using the word
imagination, that image thatyou see before you.

(02:33):
I want you to allow thatimagination to be alive so many times.
Our thinking, those negativethoughts, that thinking.
The practicality of life getsin the way of our imagination.
But we don't want ourpracticality to harness our imagination
to stop our imagination.
We want it to be utilized byour imagination.

(02:56):
We want our imagination to bethe forerunner of our life.
And then using our thinking,our heart, our body, our spirit,
all of it, to unfold thatimagination into reality.
Now, it doesn't mean you'regoing to fulfill that imagination
dream in this lifetime, orthis year, or in 10 years.

(03:16):
That's not the point.
It's exciting, don't get me wrong.
But the imagination is moreabout an attitude, a focus, a dream,
a passion, a purpose.
You know, think about theright brothers flying a plane for
the first time.

(03:36):
They imagined.
First and foremost, theyimagined it to be possible.
And then they set to do a lotof work to make it happen.
And I don't remember how manyseconds they were in the air the
first time, but it was theirimagination come true.
Now.
It wasn't their ultimate imagination.
What we have today would blowtheir minds.

(03:56):
But there was an imagination.
There was an image, there was a.
A feeling, a possibility thatthey allowed to take over, allowed
to move them, allowed to nudge them.
Your imagination is a powerfulforce for you to live the life your

(04:16):
soul intended.
I invite you to honor it.
Use your brain, body, heartand spirit to support your imagination,
not to hold it down.
I love you.
