Are You Using Your Imagination?

Recently at a neighborhood party my neighbors were talking about the book A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. Hawking discusses the vastness of the universe in a way that leaves us in awe! As I listened to my friends talk about this with wonderment and imagination, I could not help but think that we human beings are a very small part of the universe, but we have the capablity to see far beyond ourselves!

It is mind boggling to try to imagine 100 billion stars (suns) in our galaxy and 100 billion galaxies in our universe. While it is incomprehensible, we have the capacity to dream and imagine! We have enormous potential to discover and create. We are inspired and awed by the mystery of all that exists and the potential we have to create more on this planet. I am inspired this morning as I look into the eyes of my 2 year old granddaughter and see so much joy and life and possibility! Unfortunately, the biggest mystery some people reflect upon is "How can I make some money today?"

Of course we have to make money, but your business can be so much more! Your business is a product of your imagination! Ask yourself, "How much imagination did it take to create what I've got?"

Do you hunger for something more? Do you dream of something bigger? Do you long for greater impact in your world? Most people live very small lives. We tend to make the world smaller in our minds so that we can control it. I want to encourage you to DREAM!

Dream about what your business and your life can become! Dream about the possibilities! Dream about something that stretches you beyond what you can control. Dream about how you can impact and influence your community, your industry, your world. Let your dreams take you beyond where you are today. Consider engaging in a coaching process that will help you dream, that will stretch your imagination, that will enable you to accomplish more than you every thought possible!
