Your imagination is one of the most powerful parts of you.

Everyone now alive on this earth, and for generations before us, has lived during a time of war. We are programmed from the start to imagine war, and to believe that we have no power over its inevitability.

A child creates new realities through the art of play.

While spending long hours in her imagination, she invents never-before-heard-of scenarios, making up fantastic characters and universes as she goes. If a child is given toys that allow him to make it up as he goes along, so much the better. Whole worlds have been constructed with the sticks, stones, and mud found in the backyard.

A neighbor’s garden becomes a fairyland, and a scary tree is haunted. Children don’t need a lot of stuff to create, just some unscheduled time, space, and their imaginations will do.

I come from a long line of busy people. It’s possible that you do too.

‘Idle hands are the devil’s playthings’ or however that phrase goes, could have been stamped on the wall of the house I grew up in.

Except it would have gone more along the lines of ‘mom’s coming, look busy’. Being engaged in the act of listening to myself didn't count. Maybe this is why meditation became so important to me as an adult.

At a young age, I learned that adults do not like to see a kid sitting around, doing nothing.

What do curiosity, imagination, and clairvoyance have to do with creating a new world? Only everything.

Curiosity asks, “I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where people get along with each other? A world at peace? That would be so nice.”.

Curiosity has a lot of questions to ask. Rather than blindly accepting that this is 'the way things are', curiosity creates a new possibility by asking questions.

Curiosity comes from within, from your spirit.

Without too much effort, you can probably see a miracle from where you’re sitting.

One at the very least. Maybe not as spectacular as this image, but miraculous all the same. If you don't see anything that looks miraculous to you, keep looking. Make sure you use your imagination.

Grounding yourself helps you to dream big, and to make your big dreams real.

You've been dreaming your whole life, even when you weren't trying to do so. Creating a dream for your life is effortless, because it is you the being, the spirit of you, that dreams.
