When I was a child, Lego came up with the Lego-figures. So there were not only the bricks any more, but also all kinds of figures that represented certain professions or groups of people. That was great for playing. It really stimulated the imagination. I think our imagination is more than just an escape from reality. I believe much more that our fantasy can be the pre-stage of reality and that it was also given to us for that purpose. Meaning what we picture in our imagination - that can become reality if we persevere. In German the term „imagination“ is literally translated as sort of „power of thoughts": a force that can bring into reality what we imagine, what does not yet exist but is possible. This applies to problem solving as well as to relationships. But we also have to be careful how we use our imagination: for good or do we give it over to negative influences! Both have the potential to become reality. So watch out...!
I wish you an extraordinary day!
