Dream!
As a human being, everyone us dream and imagine the future. we can imagine the past and even with a different outcome, but there is no way to correct it.
being creative or imaginative is a quality of a healthy human mind. in that aspect, each of the ones who read this(usually the count is zero :)) are emotionally healthy. what are the qualities to be imaginative? By the way why someone wants to imagine things.
for me, when I used to write stories in my native language, I always used to follow certain rituals. Not much. Just sitting on the chair with my right side of the face placed directly on the table. And I sleep. If I want to write something and the self-directed time schedule is 1 hour, I sleep for 15 minutes.
in that journey, I might have completed the sentences inside my heart. in the next 30 or 40 minutes, I just copy them to the paper.
World-renowned artist Salvador Dali used to sleep with a spoon in his hand. when he goes into a deep sleep which is enough to lose the balance of the spoon, he wakes up by the alert send by the sound of a spoon hitting on the floor. then in that half, lucrative, unnatural phase, he starts painting.
major classics by many of the 18th and 19th poets were born from the influence of alcohol.
so from where we find the ability to imagine? or does this a thing only useful for an artist?
certainly No. Imagine you are ready to clean your messy room on a Sunday morning(Na, na, this is not that Spotify ad). before you start, imagine how the final outcome is going to be. where I am going to put my clothes or books or shoes. Then try to deliver the best outcome. You may wonder!
Imagining the things throughout the process is also healthy. If we feel to change certain step, fo it without any doubt.
Sleep is the best medicine for many solutions. if Kekule finds the structure of benzene in his sleep, why can't we structure our tomorrow in sleep?
Life is a process where mistakes are mandatory. there is no ideal life. If we keep comparing ourselves with a person who is not you, then it's going to be a disaster. But keep on comparing your current self with previous versions of you. find the positives. Now you might not able to memorize the things you used to do in school days, but you gained experience where memory plays a less significant role or you learned the technology which keeps you remember whatever you want.
as the thinkers said, if you want to see your biggest friend and biggest foe, just stand in front of a mirror.
The power of imagination is underrated. and as a society, we hail the qualities other people possess and never appreciate the things we mastered.
Ignore the questions, stay away from negative people. Join the group always comforts you, criticize you in a positive manner, find connections, networks.
Dream!
