MY HAPPY PLACE

      MY HAPPY PLACE

Albert Einstein said,"imagination encircles the world." You have the ability to literally create and live whatever life you desire within your imagination. You and I actually use our imagination every day.

Unfortunately we tend to use our imagination against ourselves. We tend to vividly imagine all the things that can go wrong in our day and in our life. We vividly imagine what we don't want to have happen. We create in our minds scenarios of how other people are going to behave and act towards us. We create negative scenarios and expectations for ourselves ensuring that we will experience disappointment. Just as we can create a negative experience for ourselves, with this same ability, we can create neat, upbeat and good things for ourselves. I recently had to undergo an MRI. If you've never experienced an MRI, it can be very stressful if you're the slightest bit chlosteraphobic, which I am.  You are secured to a mobile table and then they slide you into a long and very narrow tube (the MRI Machine). It's so small, you can't turn around or move. You lay in this tight, small tube for around an hour. In this tiny enclosed space for that length of time, I could have experienced major anxiety and trauma, but I didn't, I used my imagination. I spent time walking along the beach in Destin Florida with my wife. We had so much fun. We then played at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida. We were having a blast and about to go on Splash Mountain when I was informed the MRI was complete. 

We can transform our lives by using the amazing gift of imagination to our benefit. Let's talk more about this ...tomorrow.
