Imagination - One of the Seven Keys to Unlocking Your Unique Creative Potential

I have heard people say 'I just do not have a good enough imagination', as if it were an inborn trait. Many people get stuck thinking you are either born with it or you are not. Some times it is just a matter of learning how to develop your imagination, and allowing it to flourish and grow.

Giving the seeds of imagination, the necessary ingredients to grow will help also grow your creativity and this is sure to increase your self esteem.

Journal writing, and day dreaming, visualizing and listening to new music with no words: great ways to develop the skills you need to add depth to your unlimited potential.

It is a matter of getting out of the way, and allow your self to be in all parts of your imagination. Just like anything else that grows there will be parts that do not seem useful, yet they help to sustain some area of growth potential that will deliver fruits to the imagination process.

Think about this:

In order to grow rose, the plants stem may not look like much to the observer, while it is just a stem, however, written on the creative codes of its DNA, are a process that lead to the manifestation of the beauty and essence of the final flowering blossom. The stem provides the flower a great support system to flourish in.

Sometimes parts of the process may be unclear. As you allow your mind to go with it, you find that written on your DNA, is a route to, your specific creativity that will produce some of your greatest work. Be aware that not everything that comes out, is an end in itself. Give yourself lots of trial and error practice. Know that it may take practice to build your imagination. Your brain will grow a unique way of finding a direct route to getting into the altered state it needs to be in, to access your highest thinking.

Maybe one time you may actually doodle the same little doodle that is familiar to you. Be willing to grow in patience as you do this. Growing in patience may be all your creativity is asking from you on this level. Your subconscious mind knows that this is the most direct route for you, to grow this particular quality. It also knows that you may later need a larger supply of this particular quality, to enhance your creative endeavor at some point on down the road to support the end result.

It is starting small, perhaps meeting where you are at. It does this with many of the obstacles, it already knows you will need to overcome, as you grow in your creativity. It does this with things like frustration, intolerance, boredom, restlessness, resistance and so forth. Think of it these things as plateaus. Give your self breaks and then continue where you left off climbing up the hill towards higher and higher levels of imagination as you grow.

Once you see that this is what is happening, you will overcome hopelessness and you therefor you won't give up. You will press onwards and upwards. You will have the ability to come back around and continue to grow in small ways in order to support the flower that is growing and ready to come into manifestation later on down the line.

Keep these things in mind as you bring about what has already been written on your DNA, about what you will be later creating. The very dynamic aspect of creation, known as evolution, has written this on your DNA. It willed you be exactly where you are, for its own purpose. As you begin to let go of judging it, you are in fact growing your imagination.

Trust the process, while your self confidence grows and takes you to new levels.

Try something new that is low risk. Find something to add to your inspiration simply by trying some new activity that you have never done before. This leads to more energy and excitement, and may be just the stimulation you need to take you to the next level of your personal creative potential.

In this process of strengthening your imagination you will develop the skills to grow unlock your creativity and increase your growing sense of personal worth and self esteem.
