Barbara Grizzuti Harrison, an American journalist, essayist and memoirist,who is best known for her autobiographical work, particularly growing up as a Jehovah's Witness, and for her travel writing says- "All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination." An Australian basketball team wanted to shoot more baskets. Part of the team practiced everyday with foul shoots and another part of the team imagined shooting baskets.They performed as much as practiced members. Imagination is picturing something. Many use imagination to improve their skills. When we picture ourselves getting better, it really happens. Hence for today- Lesson no 3: I'll imagine myself getting better.

We cannot succeed and win until and unless we win in our mind and imagination.

@Aushaw Reading normal books and magazines gives lot of knowledge and information. Reading is a very powerful tool to learn and enhance our knowledge.

@dpk262006 Of course, I strongly believe people who read books know better than people who simply browse like me because most of the time we read incompletely.

Yes dear. Absolutely! It is one of the form of imagination. It is a process of picturing something. I have heard people telling me to close my eyes and imagine a lamp in front of me and to keep concentrating on the lamp. It is said that it is also one of the method to meditate. So, in that way imagination is also a form of relaxation for souls.

Yes, sometimes imaginations prepare you for tough times. Like ,if you imagine something is going to be wrong , you subconsciously prepare for it. In that way, all human beings are imagining something or the other all the time.

@pureme Yes. What a beautiful sentence! I think that is the simplest way to tell about thought process of humans to make our lives better. More positivity will help us to be happy and enjoy each and every moment of life. Doing good keeps us happy and confident. Most importantly goodness makes us love ourselves more.
