Hi, DEAR FRIENDZZZ...!
In my experience, people who ultimately find success are those who compile their imagination with a sense of realism and bring it to life in their world.
There is a concept in our society that can be described as ‘practicality in life’ and that is going down the path that other people have assured to be fruitful.
This stands in the way of imagination and the infinite potential it has to offer to us. In this blog post, I am going to explain the difference between practicality and imagination.
Our imaginations are wild and often teeming with unexplored ideas and intriguing concepts that are not tested or verified in the real world.
Some of you may think of new and innovative things day to day that can improve our lives for the better.
Where do these ideas go? Well, they usually go down the garbage chute of your mind, because your prematurely assume that you can never turn that imaginative thought into reality.
Our society is partially to blame for this; because since the moment puberty hits and we begin to conceive of obligations, society is always telling us to be practical.
This practicality manifests itself as imitating what everybody else is already doing, and thus… mankind is doomed!
Some people tend to say that our current society is mediocre.
They are right to some degree, because the current society rarely encourages enthusiasm and imagination; the things that have brought us where we are now as a species.
Instead of that, we cram people into large buildings and long skyscrapers, sitting behind endless rows and columns of desks and computers… all serving a systematic economy that would otherwise collapse.
But let us ignore what society is telling us and think about the connection between practicality and imagination.
William Blake once said, ‘What is now proved was once only imagined.’
The truth of the relationship between practicality and imagination is something that fewer people understand as years pass in our world:
Imagination is not fantasy, but a starting point for everything you see in this world. Practicality is not restraint, but a tool with which imagination can manifest in reality.
In order to give your imagination a reality of its own, you are going to need practicality and a sense of realism.
Vision and realism, practicality and imagination… these work hand in hand to reward people with what they were destined to do: Create!
If you want to achieve success in this life, you are going to need the endless potential of your infinite imagination, armed with the realism of your practicality to manifest it in the real world.
Those who embrace and clearly define these two concepts (imagination and practicality) in their lives can achieve almost anything they want!
But the question is this… what will you do with these forces of nature?
