The Power Of Imagination

“Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.”

Jamie Paolinetti

I have always believed in the hidden powers of our mind, long before reading and study on the books the things that were already inside of me.

I have observed for a long time the behaviour of a lot of people, included my father who was an authoritarian and paternalistic person.

Many of us don't realize but the thoughts crossing our mind every day they are to a large extent the fruit of our attitudes and the deepest convictions that we have brought within us for a long time.

It is unbelievable as in the societies of the richest countries and industrialized of this planet a so perfect and punctual control is made on the mechanisms that produce money and material wealth, but the most part of us are never thought about the power of our thoughts.

What I have known is always that one of the greatest powers that every human being has to his/her disposition is just the imagination.

Imagination is what we project to the outside, in the real world, beginning from our subconscious.

But attention! A positive imagination and a negative it exists, or better, a destructive and a constructive one.

The imagination, on my opinion, is autosuggestion.

In the most negative people and more absolutists that I ever known this power was always employed in a destructive way and do you know how?

Not admitting that there could be other interpretations of the facts and the reality.

The negative people are only victims of their imagination, which is used against themselves, instead that to them favour.

The psycho-cybernetics of Dr. Maxwell Maltz and the positive thinking of Dr. J. Murphy, is absolutely right!

In my infancy I have always been conditioned to think of a destructive way.

My greater problem was the insecurity and shyness.

I was afraid of the others, above all not to feel at the same level with the others and especially with the individuals of female sex.

During my life I have not only learned to report me with the women, but I have learned to speak in public and to become even an advisor and a business educator!

Do you know how I have succeeded in doing that? With the imagination! Right!

Our mind needs to imagine a situation of success before being able to experiment it, there is not simply other way!

From the moment that it is very more comfort to let us condition from the negative thoughts that limit us, why then not to make a small effort and try to replace the negative suggestions with positive ones?

It is necessary to firmly believe to be able to do it, if you don't believe you have already surrendered and therefore you have not given yourself other possibilities; in other words you are what you have decided, not surely anybody else or the bad fate!

Why To Not Be In A Hurry Is An Advantage

"Whoever is in a hurry shows that the thing he is about is too big for him."

Lord Chesterfield

Here are the most common errors who make which is in a hurry:

- To have too little respect of his/her own time and too much of other people's time.

- To think about having to always compete with everybody and anywhere

- To be terrorized to owe him to stop and have to "to think"

- To misunderstand the phrase "time is money"

- To always worry himself/herself about to have "to impress" the others

- To think only of quantitative terms

- Not to have a clear vision of his/her own life and his/her own role

- To do things in a hurry is comfortable because it represents an alibi

- To be in hurry is cool and trendy and it makes you feel an important person

Here instead because not to be in a hurry according to me represents an advantage:

- If you are not in a hurry, you have very more time to think and to reflect

- Do not be afraid to think and to reflect, it won't happen you nothing!

- If you have the time to think and to reflect is much more difficult that you could be manipulated by the others

- If you are not in a hurry you have the time to think outside the box

- If you are not in a hurry it is likely you know how to give the right value to your time and overall to the others one

- If you are not in a hurry it means that you think before acting and therefore you know what you do

- If you are not in a hurry you have more time to be devoted to yourself and your personal improvement

- If you are not in a hurry you are the owner of your life and you perfectly know your objectives

- If you are not in a hurry you have understood that you know to be worth and above all you don't need to show it to anybody else!

Toward The Gross National Wellness

“Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if
this is all there is.”

Mary Anne Radmacher

In every human activity it is necessary by now to knowingly insert this new dimension through the study of the behaviour and the conditions that regulate it.

In this way it becomes possible to foresee more efficiently what consequences a decision may have in terms of tonnage, of size, of capacity, and also in terms of human behaviours.

And it becomes so possible to aim to what certain economists nebulously define still the GNW (the Gross National Wellness), in substitution of the GNP (Gross National Product).

Taking as point of aim the auto-affirmation you may realize in fact that there are many ways to realize certain basic demands of every man.

Moreover we also can realize that they can also be realized with techniques that involve the use of less wealth and less raw materials.

The main point is to establish a good psychological prizes-punishments-system.
If one succeeds in getting a mechanism that works it is possible to get the tallest index of happiness, also with some mended pantaloons or with some old compact cars, without provoking deprivations.

With this strategy it is possible to effectively direct toward new values the human, both individual and collective behaviours.

On the other hand citizens they owe to realize that they are very often spiced through conditionings that does not correspond to their true interest.

Only the knowledge of the technologies of the behaviour allows them to discover the trick, and to prevent that the great principles of liberty, justice, equality, brotherhood is used by some alone as traps to catch the simpletons.

If the objective of a true democracy is that to give to every individual the dignity, the happiness, the parity with the others, the ability to understand the world in which alive, to participate in the decisions that concern it, and to express its difference, then it is necessary to study and to predispose not only the material context, but also the mental one, in which to achieve.
