Oh Where, Oh Where Have Our Imaginations Gone?

The Bridge to Terabithia got me thinking about the wonder of a child's imagination today. The kids created an entire mythical land filled with anything they ever wanted. Nothing was off limits!

I realized that my child like wonder and imaginative creativity slowly left my mind as a grew older. My dreams became nightmares and my daydreams were consumed with thoughts about the past and the future. Then, I realized that there was no reason I couldn't create fairytale lands filled with the most wondrous creatures just because I am 21.

We have all grown up being told that we have to focus on school and then a career. Our creative imaginations about the beautiful things that lay beyond this realm soon became thoughts that are consumed with worries and self doubt that do not need to exist. Worries and doubts only create an anxious state of being that is not beneficial to us.

Since we are the creators of our own realities, why not create something wonderful? Why not have a lust to search for the magical things unknown to common thought process? Dig deep and let your imagination run wild! There is no reason to stop filling your mind with beautiful thoughts. After all, our minds hold so much information that we have yet to discover about ourselves and our imaginations can help unlock that.

It is often said that kids hold strong psychic powers because they have such wonderful imaginations and are open to anything that comes their way. They aren't afraid to let their imaginations come to life and through this they make good channels for the spirit world to communicate through.

Don't forget your child-like sense of wonder. Remember to be silly, to imagine beautiful things, to dream big. Anything we truly want is attainable, so why not wish for the grandest most magical life?

Let's also not forget to live in the present moment because this is where we can find the most beauty and appreciate the most magical things that the physical world has to offer. When living in the present and being completely in touch with the moment, you can unlock that same sense of beauty your mind creates through imagination. Life is all about balance. Find that balance and your life can be a real life fairytale.

Imagine beauty, create beauty, embrace beauty

Enchantingly,
