Highly Evolved Imaginations

I am re-reading a book from a seminar called the New Lead the Field Seminar, by Bob Proctor.

In the chapter titled, A Worthy Destination, he says ... the first phase of the creative process in setting and achieving any goal is fantasy. Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, William Lear and Buckminister Fuller all had highly evolved imaginations. Their imagination was highly evolved because they never stopped exercising it. Imagination is an intellectual factor of the human personality... it is a mental muscle. Since the body is a physical manifestation of the mind, the mind is subject to the same laws as the body. Whatever you exercise, you strengthen; what is not exercised becomees lethargic. Little children exercise their imaginations contantly, however when they start school, this is called "daydreaming" or "not paying attention", and is definitely discouraged. ...

Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell were homeschooled and I'm thankful that George and I chose to homeschool/unschool our children. They have healthy imaginations and are creating their lives, setting goals and achieving them daily.
