Affirmation for August 9, 2011: The Power of Imagination

Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young. - W. Somerset Maugham 
Thought of the Day:
As children, we used our imaginations to create a world where we were super heroes, astronauts, kittens, trees.. anything. We allowed these play times to mold our aspirations and dreams. How many times has some one asked us, "What did you want to be when you grew up?" How many of us achieved that dream? How many of us gave up?
Don't give up! Continue to dream. As we grow older it seems we can achieve more because we have more freedoms, more rights, and more education. Some how, while obtaining these, many of us have stopped imagining, playing make belief, playing the "what if...?" game.
Now that many of us are older, wiser, and better equipped, these dreams and games are closer to reality. Dream away today, think about "what if...?" and turn it into "when?"
:) Make Belief!
