An Everyday Expression of Hope and Its Potential

An Everyday Expression of Hope 

Blind To Reality

June 1, 2019 by John Hembree Leave a Comment

blindfolded“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”  Lewis Carroll, Alice In Wonderland

I have never been more aware of the reality that surrounds me.

And I have never been even more aware that my reality is surrounded by something even greater.

Imagination.

Reality is not what you see with your natural eyes, nor the perceived circumstances in your life.

In fact, to some, the world of imagination is greater than any reality.

If this was not true, most of us, would never have visited Walt Disney World.

Living in the world of imagination is not some fictitious naïve whimsical view of life.

But rather using your imagination to think outside the box.

To think beyond those around who are trapped and surrounded by the life that others have cast for them.

Imagination is to grasp and define the problem, and also to identify the solution.

Reality will scream at you with obscure challenges from the past.

Maybe even your past.

Imagination will dictate the future.

Your future.

Reality will use phrases like, “can not”, “should not”, “will not” and “could not”.

Imagination will use phrases like, “can”, “should”, “will” and “could”.

What’s missing?

The “not”.

Dismiss reality.

It is an anchor weighing you down from your unlimited future which is found by you as you follow your passion, your desire, your hunger and your imagination.
