Wildest Dreams
Imagination means the ability to create mental pictures or new ideas according to dictionary.
This is the very question that has been pondering over me for months.
Why are many humans not successful?
I tried to dig deeper and found only 1% of the people in the world have the control to choose what happens around. It is like someone narrating your life, after years one understands that their life is a lie. I am starting to feel this now, it reminds me of the movie “The Truman Show”. I haven’t watched the film but have read about it the message of the film that I understood is-
We more often accept our realities without giving much thought(ignorance) the fact we can change. It all comes down to breaking free which is harder.
When I look at this picture I see myself coming to terms that the minor flaw overlooked can have an impact in your lives. One might not notice, it’s like you know something doesn’t feel right like yet you move forward not knowing what. We humans have a good imagination but sadly the world wants to put us into boxes, telling us you belong there. Success stories look good but the struggle one went through to achieve that isn’t seen. Every day I make a point to read something motivating to keep going despite the struggles.
I understood the difference between inspiration and motivation three years back. I know we all use these terms every now and then but how many know the differential factor. Motivation comes from external resources like reading a success story that makes you want to follow your passion, dreams the goals that one wants to achieve whereas Inspiration is internal should come from within. The process of heading towards your passion knocks you out due to obvious factor unpredictability of fate, it takes weeks to months, years before you see the step. This is your choice to move forward, take that step it will be hard.
The very answer to unimaginative process lies inside us- mundane thoughts an act of resistance. Energy transformation is real talking to someone positive, connection could have a huge impact of life. Despite being short-term motivation in the hustle of life somewhere one wants to be much more. In life, an inspiration of fuel should be created within the torch of fire embarking on the journey- you. All I can think is quote an example of Elon Musk, we all have heard his story despite disappointments, failures, the insults he has achieved the empire that he built through perseverance. He choose to be inspiring believing I can do anything I put my mind to a hundred percent.
His story makes you question like-
How did the genius Elon Musk never give up?
To be honest, he is more than a genius — hard worker who is consistent in his work. The hours he puts in to creating a world that will benefit humans, the society is what I really admire about him. The fact that he leads a life so extraordinary it takes a lot of effort, discipline to achievement. Elon’s story is one that made me question my life choices, want to try something that is far from ordinary. The key to that is imagination, a tool of power to ask what you truly desire. If the answer is “I have many dreams” it’s OK we humans are multi-tasking beings sure we can try to fulfill as much as we truly want. But it is important to evaluate which of those dreams are so important you want to turn to reality, take a step-by-step approach.
It will be like a trial and error method what we have imagined ourselves as for example, I see myself being an impactful writer. This statement is what I have envisioned myself and I don’t know how long it would take me on that path but I am ready to try. That very imagination made me start my journey of content creation. The constant learning, willingness to try something is what matters at the end. It is not success of your goal that makes you proud but the fact that you took that step that led you on the path filled with struggles, the inspiration inside that kept making you want to strive for success. The try is essential to understand that purpose your born with and work towards creating a better world for others not just yours.
Imagination is the critical skill that we humans should desire to unlock the secrets of life. With this tool we can be so much more, trying and failure is a part of life. The constant affirmation that it is indeed possible if i am willing to unlearn the negativities, absorb the positive things around us and use our imagination to growth with our humans.
Truman did succeed in breaking free from that illusion of his life. It is time for us to rise above and break the chains of ordinary.
