Lovely morning.The world in which we live is chaotic and uncertain. The future seems predictable, but in fact it is unpredictable. The only thing that is certain is that we are born into this uncertain world and we live in it. The place where we wake up, the place where we visit, the place where we walk, is completely different from day to day, and even if it looks the same on the surface, something has changed. In other words, everything we do is based on the assumption that things will be as they are.
The difference between those who make the most of their lives and those who don’t is whether they have the ability to imagine, or whether their imagination is weak. When a baseball batter shakes his bat before stepping into the batter’s box, or a golfer swings in the right direction before hitting the ball, he or she is visualising how he or she is going to hit the ball. Dancers, when they are listening to music, even when they are not dancing, visualise how each note of the music is to be played. They train themselves to realise these images. It is important to have both the power of imagination and the daily training to use that power.
No matter how certain you think your dream is, in a world that is constantly changing, you can never be sure that it will come true. Before you know it, you’ll have the chance to make your dream come true.
You can develop your imagination by reading books, looking at great art, watching movies, walking in nature, eating delicious food, drinking a nice cup of coffee or smelling your favourite perfume. You can enrich your daily life by saying nice words to yourself, to experience and to imagine things. Then, one by one, take action to make it happen.
