There exists a creative boundary between imagination and reality — a subtle passage that very few people truly understand where it begins or where it ends.
I discovered this passage at the age of 16, when I saw, one after another, the dreams I had truly focused on come to life. Today, I have no reason to doubt it: it’s real, and it works!
All your goals, actions, and habits are nothing more than mental images. At first, they’re just imaginary ideas projected onto the invisible screen of your mind before they become reality.
Contrary to the popular slogan “Just do it,” no one actually acts that way. Those who believe they “just do” don’t realize how quickly their brain processes the information that drives their actions.
Some people have minds so fast that they think they act before even imagining their movements. Sorry — that’s not how your brain works. You visualize first, and only then do you act.
You don’t laugh, frown, or cry without a mental image triggering that emotion first.
Your vocation, your hobbies, your to-do list, what you eat, even where you go on vacation — all of it stems from what you project in your imagination.
Your imagination is very real, and how you use it can either lift you up or tear you down.
Yes, you can convince yourself that your imagination is pure fiction — but even that thought is your mind imagining it to be true.
