Worry is a misuse of the imagination. ~Dan Zadra
Do you use your imagination? Do you think imagination is for children and Peter Pan? As adults we tend to save our imagination exclusively for worrying. Do you role play, brainstorm, problem solve or think outside the box? These are "grown up" terms for using our imagination. They are very short, to the point and professionally acceptable terms. However, they seem to have eliminated the wonder, fun and excitement from the process. "I came up with this idea while brainstorming," is heard in businesses everyday. What would people think if instead it was, "I came up with this idea while using my imagination." When did imagination become socially unacceptable? Say the word out loud, im-ag-in-a-tion. It even sounds magical and inspiring. So next time, use your imagination and see where creativity takes you.
