Imagination is more important than knowledge
Hello everyone; I am here to express my views on Imagination is more important than knowledge. It is unequivocally true that imagination is the seed of achievement. All achievements originate from imagination. Bob Proctor, the renowned American philosopher and author in the famous inspirational movie, The Secret says, ‘If you can hold anything in your mind and thoughts, you can hold that thing in your hands.’ In the same movie Mike Dooley, the great writer also says, ‘Thoughts Become Things.’
Dr. Denis Waitley, an American psychologist says, ‘When you visualize, you materialize.’ He applied visualization in many areas and visualization process had immense effect on skills enhancement required for successful achievement in the targeted areas. He experimented visualization with a group of athletes. He was amazed to see that visualization generated the same mental, metabolic, and physical sequences in the mind and body of athletes which happened in reality when they were running on the track.
So, we see how important imagination is for achievement. According to the ‘Law of Attraction’ achievement is made possible by the thoughts of achievement you think in your mind over and over again. When you think happy, energetic, hopeful, enthusiastic, thoughts longingly, the Universal laws assist you achieve what you want to achieve. According to Wallace D Wattle, another famous American thinker the imagining process consists of using the power of thoughts. According to him thought is the only power which can produce tangible forms from the FORMLESS SUBSTANCE. The stuff from which all things are made is a substance that thinks, and a thought of achievement produces the achievement.
All great achievers of mankind have used the power of imagination to achieve whopping success in their respective fields. Lincoln used this power to become a great president and to achieve his vision of abolishing slavery. Louis Pasteur used this power to find a cure for rabies; similarly, Einstein, Helen Keller, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. Abdul Kalam, and many more personages like them, all used this power of imagination to accomplish great things in their life. Even in the contemporary times, scientists at ISRO, the premier Indian Space Research Organization used imagination or visualization in all their successful space missions.
The caution that is to be taken care of is the caution of supplementing imagination with action. As Vance Havner, the great American revivalist has beautifully said, ‘The imagination must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.’
