Parents bring their children into this world intending to teach them everything they will need to know to grow up to live truly happy, successful and productive lives, only to find out that one of the most valuable traits their children can possess is a trait that is eventually discouraged ...the ability to imagine!
Oh sure, it's cute for awhile when little Susie says she is going to grow up to be an astronaut or Johnny says he is going to become a rock star! For awhile, some parents will even encourage their imaginations.
I remember as a small child informing my parents that I was going to grow up and become a famous equestrian. In conversations or during introductions my father would refer to me as "Denny, the future owner of the Kentucky Derby.!"
Eventually, as their children grow up, parents feel it is necessary to bring their children into "reality" and encourage them to begin thinking about what they intend to do with their lives. This reality typically consists of what the parents feel is attainable.
Of course, parents do this from a place of love, intending to protect their children from possible disappointment. But in all actuality what they have done is sent a message to their child that says there are LIMITS to what can and probably will happen in your life!
Children begin life with the amazing ability to see themselves doing anything they want, becoming whoever they want...anything is possible...their imaginations fuel their thoughts and they believe their thoughts until they are told there are limits!
And now, in our current society, which has been blessed with an abundance of knowledge in the area of self-growth, we have come full circle.
Adults, who are actively applying the principles of the law of attraction into their lives, are now told they can create anything they want in their lives. Anything is possible. They can do, be, or have whatever their heart desires. They are told there are NO limits, to dream big, think outside the box, and to let their imaginations soar!
Sadly, the loss of the incredible ability to imagine stands in the way of many adults being able to attract their heart's desires and interferes with the nature of their intentions.
The principles of the law of attraction state in order to manifest what you truly want you must "imagine" you have already acquired it and "imagine" the feelings of having already received your intention.
The instructions are specific; we must state our intention clearly because the Universe takes our intention literally and does not "interpret" what we intend.
For example, if you want to accumulate a lot of money, you are instructed to state how much money. The Universe will not determine how much money is "a lot" of money; you must state how much is a lot to you. Five thousand or five million?
The key factor becomes can you imagine yourself having $5,000.00? Probably. Can you imagine yourself having $5,000,000.00? Maybe not.
You may state your intention to have $ 5,000,000.00, but in your mind you really can't imagine it. If you can't imagine it, you can't attach the feeling of having acquired it to the thought of the intention, thereby creating a block to the manifestation of your intention.
Today's parents can and must take note of this valuable lesson we are all learning as a result of our process to create a better life for ourselves...the value of being able to use our imaginations.
Parents need to encourage their children to believe anything IS possible in their lives, there is NO limit to what they can do or be, or achieve in life.
Children are born with the instinct to dream big, believe in their ability, and IMAGINE all possibilities apply to them. This should not only be allowed and celebrated but viewed as a necessary trait that will enable them to create their best life.
Parents raising children today have an incredible opportunity to positively affect their children's path toward the future by permitting them to imagine, encouraging them to dream big, and supporting what they are passionate about.
