We use our imagination to create and achieve our goals all the time. Men and women have been doing that all throughout history. Imagine that you are going to prepare a meal. We think about it and imagine it before you start. The same thing happens whether we are getting a snack out of the cupboard or building a skyscraper. The outcome is pictured in our minds before we even begin. Any new idea whether it involves a new invention, the writing of a song or the design of a new car, all involve the process of imagination, the desire for the end result, and the application of the creative part of the brain to develop the idea.

It is this creative imagination, or visualization, that has led the human race to adapt to our environment, to create art, technology, music; things that make our lives more comfortable, more rewarding and give us the ability to share with others. Without it we would not be able to take to the skies by plane, communicate around the world by phones or explore space with scientific technology. Today, human imagination is evolving to a point where the dream of being connected to one another is more and more a reality.

We use the creative imagination and dream up new ideas due to inspiration. Through this part of the mind you are able to communicate with the subconscious minds of others which can bring out their imagination allowing you to cooperate in brainstorming ideas and communicating more efficiently. Brains are more receptive when fuelled by a strong burning desire and positive emotions that motivate you towards achieving your goals. People from all kinds of backgrounds develop their imaginations in this way from successful businessmen to famous artists to the spiritually minded who wish achieve a connection to Source and contribute to the lives of others.

You may become more aware of the creative imagination by trying to use it more regularly. The most important thing to remember if you are to become more proficient in using your imagination is that you need to know what you want in life. Take time to write down exactly what you desire, what you want to achieve in your life, what values you would like to live by. We may never be perfect, but we can strive for excellence. Put your aims on paper and pin them to a wall where you will see them regularly. Focus all your desire, determination and faith on practices to achieve your aims that will take you step by step towards your objectives and ideals. By reminding yourself of the journey you want to take in life and focusing your mental energy on thinking of ways you can go about getting there your subconscious mind will eventually move out of the negative and start to offer you positive alternatives. You are then on the way to making use of your creative imagination. Use your imagination to create your future ideal and then take daily action towards that ideal.

Whether your goals and aims have to do with being a better parent, a better employee, creating a new product, being a better human being, or building a better mousetrap, the use of creative imagination has been used successfully throughout history and can be put into practice by all of us.
