Imagination is more important than knowledge. The TRUE sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. There is perhaps no stronger trait that one can have then that of a strong imagination.
Imagination is everything because without it we cannot create anything new. Without it, we are guaranteed to repeat the same patterns, make the same mistakes and live the same life over and over again.
With it, there are no limits. There’s no limit to what we could attempt, no limit to how high we could soar, how big we could dream.
Sure, our dreams might end in the dust. But what if they don’t? Would you rather live having tried to reach the life you want or die with regret? We need to let go of our need to fit in- fit into this small box that the society placed us in and we must imagine the life we really want. Then when we are certain what that life is, we have to strive for it. We only get one short at this miracle of human life. Live it fully and exactly how you want.
We all have dreams. The problem is most people stuff their dreams in the closet when things get heard, when life presents challenges, most people turn to what they know. They turn to what is easy. But the easy road and the known would never lead you to your dreams.
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle and the other as though everything is a miracle. He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rap is as good as dead!
