Since i came to my senses i can imagine things and worlds unknown to me.
If i will say that i have lived dual life ,won't be lie.
All that missed was from my physical being was provided by my Soul.
I never imagined a life loaded with worldly material because i never wanted it (i really don't know Why).
I longed for True Happiness which comes from Freedom of Mind and Soul !
And My kind Lord blessed me with it through quite Active and Strong imagination .
I never felt Trapped or stuck because my soul was Free and Serene Always !
How kind our creator is who already knows our desire more than we do.
He knew i will be needing it. May be it sound stupid to stay happy and satisfied with what i have. But i never ever regret it , or may be i am much fool to realize what my life lack .
If it is So, i am okay with this foolishness of mine.
Because according to my limited tiny intellect i have everything which one must have to be happy and content.
Actually In my opinion Happiness is not about what we have, it is about How we look at what we have.
Yes ,our attitude :)
I have seen people who cannot be happy even they have all they luxuries of life and there is no visible problem in their life. Still their Attitude makes it Impossible for them to realize the presence of blessings they have and feel happy .Sounds Like Curse .Isn't it ?
I think imagination is most important blessing. It reveals the importance of all other blessings one have.
With imagination life is Always Beautiful :)
Because it never let our strength weaken by hurdles of life .
Imagination keeps our spirit High with light of Faith and Hope !
I believe that imagination is Base of Creativity .
Each reality is imagined before appearing.
Very first brick in wall of creation is idea that is product of Imagination.
A man imagined himself Flying in the sky before he thought of inventing a plane i believe .
I totally agree with Einstein that " Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge because Knowledge is Limited but Imagination Has no Limit"
It is Very First Essential Gift to any Mind to Think Beyond Boundaries.
I learnt through many experiences that how Imagination help to live an Easy life.
This Capability Protected me from many dangers throughout my life.
There are many times when life could have totally different and painful if my Imagination would have not helped me at Right moment.
I will be sharing those experiences with you friends when i will feel that this is right time to speak about it .
I have had experiences that cannot be expected in reality ever . While my physique is sunken in routine house chores my soul wander in lands full of pleasure and delights .
I can not sing in my house though i want to .But my imaginations takes me on lush hilltop where i sing while bearing pleasant gusts of cool fragrant breeze .
According to scientists if we drink water in our imagination it can make us feel as we Actually drunk it during our thirst ,Because Our Imagination can play tricks to our mind .
When we see some horror movie our brain keep us frightening with scary thoughts till few days . After few days we are back to our normal pattern of thinking.
This ability gave me wings .And i flew around like bird. Which is a good thing indeed.
But Imagination also made me suffer . I used to cry a lot whenever i read or heard about people suffering through life 's pains or natural disasters .
After marriage i made hubby upset with my such attitude . It took him few years to make me realize that we should not cry over things upon which we have no control .
Once my mind got track i moved further towards Positivity . Today i look at world with different Perspective.
In bit more Understanding way. Though world has developed so much negative within still there is Hope that Someday People on Planet Earth will comprehend that,
They Need to Unite For Betterment Of this World.
They will learn to forget all self risen stupid differences .
And Will work together to Make Life Equally Peaceful For All!
Yes My Imagination Say It All :)
Why ???
Well mostly we human learn through our experiences For Better ,don't we :)
God Bless You All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Einstein's quote, I think he was a creative soul and had a vivid imagination. I am sorry you can't sing in your house, although I agree our imagination can make things seem as though they are real. I agree also that material things don't bring happiness, they sometimes make life comfortable but I have always found the harder you work to get something, the more you appreciate and value it when it is finally yours! I think the very rich people of the world may not be happy because they have not experienced this.
ReplyDeleteImagination is a great gift!
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts today!
ReplyDeletethank you again for kind words my friend!
ReplyDeleteEinstein was revolutionary personality ,indeed!
actually our house has quite good ventilation ,windows all over the house so being woman singing is hard when there is chance that your neighbor will hear you ,it feels bit uncomfortable to me .
i sing in my kitchen little bit while cooking when i am sure that nobody is listening :) it's therapeutic .
I feel so blessed that from my childhood i was always most content child in the house, i never grew love of material fortunately. there is something inside my heart that constantly tells me that
"all that exist is illusion including life " a tempting trap that distract one from Actual aim of existence.
i believe in slow steady progress so i can feel evidence of my own being within it
i value that money more that comes in hand after whole day hard work than money that comes with no effort ,i find it Harmful and disrespectful ,such easy money is Question to my ability for honorable survival
Dearest Baili, please don't ever believe that your intellect is small...for yours is totally the opposite! It is huge! You understand so much more than most of us...you have the awesome ability to see beyond the physical, and that is indeed an enormous blessing to everyone who has the privelige to know you.
ReplyDeleteEvery single time I visit this wonderful blog, I leave enlightened and comforted.
And today is no exception. These wise words resonate deeply within me. Happiness is to be found only in our attitude, not in what possessions we have.
And imagination is a precious gift from our Creator, not the foolish waste of time that so many people believe it to be.
I am SO grateful to have found someone who feels and thinks as I do.
Oh thank you so much for this fantastic post!😊😊
Lots of love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
dearest Ygraine how blessed i am to have kind and sweet friends like you ,sense of gratitude makes my eyes teary sometimes :)
Deleteactually i am criticized more for my imagination or lack of the worldly love than i was appreciated for it
i truly don't know how and why it happened but i always was person with little weird habits , in my school days my classmates and friend found me an alien to not have interest in girlish talk specially their excitement for boys and else
at home i was criticized by cousins and sister for my carefree nature ,they thought of me extremely fool when i would say if i have to have one i don't want a rich husband but a person who is beginning his struggle of life so i can see how can i face life's challenges with him ,they would laugh at me and make fun of me
i was appreciated by parents specially mother and husband but not much :) There was period of time when i felt "why i a not Normal like others "
thank you so much for honoring me your encouraging words always my friend!
My husband says I can find the positive in anything. I wasn’t always like that but it has made my life better for sure.
ReplyDeletebest thing is that YOU LEARNT FOR BETTER DEAR Marie :)
Deletelife is so peaceful when we learn and grow on right direction
your quality to find Positive within anything is Precious and basic necessity for Happiness
Imagination is a sign of intelligence. I love it when a 2 year old will help me try to find an older child. We look under the dog's water dish for the older child. We look up a tree for the dog. We look in the washing machine for ice cubes. What a wonderful mind it takes to come up with those things. Also the empathy you feel for others is what makes you such a loving person. Our world needs more people like you.
ReplyDeleteNot everyone thinks that way dear Emma
Deletebut yes we should not judge ourselves by other's opinion but only by univesal laws and our spiritual growth
"Happiness is not about what we have, it is about How we look at what we have."
ReplyDeleteWell said.
your heart is kind to find it so dear Sandi!
DeleteYou make some interesting points on imagination. We do bot need very many physical things to be happy.
ReplyDeletewe don't for sure
Deletehappiness belongs world inside us it does not comes with material
Such an impressive and thoughtful post. You have so many thought provoking things to say. I agree that imagination is an amazing thing. But you are perceptive when you note that it can cause pain. As you point out, when it ties into empathy for others it can bring dark thoughts and feelings. Despite this I would not trade an active imagination for anything.
ReplyDeletethank you for kind words dear Brain!
Deletei can only share my personal experience because imagination is inner ability and i cannot say about people who have imagination but not that active so they can feel other's pain
because i don't know much in detail about this skill or ability such as How many types of imaginations or there is difference between imagination of positive or negative people
if you have command over your imagination this is wise and striking for sure
I was just talking with the girls about this, dear Baili. There are some people who have everything - job, house, cars, money, family, yet they don't have peace inside. And there are others who don't have much at all, yet they have peace inside. I told them how much happier we are when we have that precious peace. I'm so glad to hear you are not into material things that much, but have the peace in your heart that is so important. You mention Our Creator often on your blog, and to be close to Him is EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful week, Baili.
~Sheri
Dear Sherrie i unconsciously knew from beginning that i am happy when i learn something good are when i am with my loved ones .I knew that when father visit home once in week i am happier with his sight and hug than presents he brought
Deletei saw people who spoiled their lives ,honor and relationships just to achieve high status
but when they had it they had all except Happiness
this is so simple if we Want to Learn Actually ,All men struggle throughout their life to have prosperous life ,prosperity means Worldly success and having lots of material to them
But end of the day most of them learn that they traveled in wrong direction
they should have keep their eyes on peaceful living instead of luxurious one
but it's too late for such people
when we realize that we wanted to grab Peace from Stuff not from Spiritual growth and sincere relationship it is often too late
Dear Friend strength that comes to my being is from Realization that there is one who Created Us ,He loves us and Watching us ! if this feeling is disappeared from my inner world i will vanish like an ash i believe
I can not agree with you more, that is so true! Everyone sjould have those priorites right, material things arent happiness at all, what matters is family and health, spritual life is so important to see this☺
DeleteYou have such a great fluency in re-telling that part of your life. Thank you.
ReplyDeletei am glad you liked it dear Susan!
DeleteIf we are not able to dream, even when we're awaken, life is not fun.
ReplyDeletedreams and visions we have are very first step that we take towards our destinations dear Pedro!
DeleteBonjour,
ReplyDeleteMerci pour l'ensemble de vos confidences...
Mon véritable bonheur est de me retrouver face à mon chevalet et d'étaler au pinceau mon ressenti... mes émotions.
Gros bisous 🌸
and how it can be possible without exquisite harmony of your beautiful imagination and reality around you dear Martinealison :)
DeleteImagination can bring us much joy as you correctly stated here, Baili, and young children seem to know that. Then as they grow up, it can become stifled as not being practical. You, my friend, realize that it is very important to always keep imagining. Material possessions do not bring happiness that is so true. And, far from not having what you call a wise intellect, you are one of the wisest people I have had the pleasure to meet through this blog world and I am grateful and thankful.
ReplyDeleteso true about children dear Dorothy
Deletetheir minds are delicate and like a blank paper in beginning
their creativity is drawn from their observations and experiences
and they all are precious artists until some of loose their ability to imagine and bring positive out of worst
wise ? i don't know but yes i am honest in my struggles that is it :)
Well said! Attitudes are everything. And I also agree with you (& Einstein) about imagination:) Another lovely, lovely post :)
ReplyDeleteAttitude are everything dear Chris
Deletethey can make you Happiest person on earth when you think you have Nothing worldly in hand
And on the other hand Attitude can Ruin one's life as he cannot see beyond his negativity ,so all he has is devalued by his way of thinking unfortunately
This was a good read Baili, thank-you.
ReplyDeleteYou have made some interesting points on imagination, we all need imagination, I don't think it should be stifled. On happiness, this comes from within, material things do not bring happiness.
All the best Jan
We all have Imagination actually dear Jan
Deleteonly who can explore it within and use it to connect with their true selves enjoy it :)
Dear Baili, I so agree that imagination and attitude can make all the difference to the contentment and happiness we find in life. Mom used to say to me, "Dolores, you find what you look for. If you look for good, you will find it. And if you look for bad, you will surely find that, too." And so I've tried to always look for good in whatever is happening to me. And I visualize/imagine good things happening! Peace.
ReplyDeleteDear Dee what a beautiful and important point you mentioned here
Deleteeither i too had have heard it from my maternal grandpa that
"we eventually find what we struggle for Good or Bad with all the followed consistences, Wise are those who can imagine them before they practically experience them"
Thing good is essential to have good indeed my dear friend!
The idea of using our imagination to do the things we can't do in real life is intriguing - I have never thought of using my imagination to do that. Thank you for that, dear baili.
ReplyDeleteyou are so naive to say that dear Jenny
Deleteyou are such a creative lady as i have seen your little beautiful creations and what about your intriguing poetry and above all the humor you are gifted with ?
all these gifts come with fertile imagination my dear friend
Hello Baili, a great read. I am thinking imagination and dreaming are similar. But, with imagination you have creativity too. You have a great way with words. Have a happy day and week ahead.
ReplyDeleteAwesome thought, Baili!
ReplyDeleteSome people said imagination more important than reality, because reality sometimes is sucks meanwhile imagination is magical :)
Have a wonderful day, Baili!
Wonderful post, Baili! One of the greatest gifts in my life is my powerful imagination. I am not materialistic either. That is another great gift in my life.
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed with things for our basic needs like food and shelter, and we have an attitude of gratitude for these things. Our imaginations then give us everything else we could need beyond that, it seems to me. Lovely post, Baili. Thank you for your kind words on my blog posts.
ReplyDeleteA great post my friend! Big Hugs!
