We are all blessed in the beginning of our lives with an imagination. As a small child you live in a world of wonder, an amazement, a curiosity, an unknown. We, as a child, have yet to discover a life of experience. We, as a child, have only begun to learn. We, as a child, have a blank slate, a clean canvas, yet as a child, we all begin with an imagination.

With this imagination, we create. We use our imagination to go places without going anywhere, physically. We discover wonders we have never seen beyond our mind's eye. We create ideas, worlds and moments. Some we share with others, some we keep within ourselves. We create places, only we can go to.

For some people, they keep the imagination from their youth and carry into their adult lives. For others, they leave their imagination behind with their childhood. Some people think that imagination belongs only within a child's mind. It is sad to think that we don't all choose to keep and use the special gift we were all blessed with. The gift of imagination. Some people think imagination is not a reality and once you grow up, you must be mature and live a grown up life. Play by the rules of an adult life where imagination does not exist. Stop for a moment and think, do you know an adult who still uses their imagination in their adult life? I, personally, can think of many such people. Technology would not have become as advanced had no adult imagined a possibility or asked, "What if?" Movies would never have been filmed, books never written, songs never sang, paintings never painted, ideas never transformed if imaginations ceased at the transitional moment from childhood to adulthood.

People every day wish and dream but stop there with just a wish and/or a dream. They sometimes doubt the possibilities of dreams and wishes coming true. Is a dream or a wish different than that of an imagination? Possibly, it is. A dream may be something you desire, a wish is something you make in hopes it will come true. Imagination creates a dream into reality, it makes the dreams achievable. Imagination creates a wish coming true, it makes a wish attainable.

You already have an imagination, are you using it? You don't have to believe an imagination is only there for a child to enjoy and use. Where does imagination fit into your hectic, day-today, responsible adult life? It fits in where you allow it to fit. Use your imagination to create the reality that you live in.
