Why Daydreaming Matters!

Daydreaming Isn’t All Bad

Do you believe Orville & Wilbur were first to fly because they had a hammer, nails and a free weekend? Think the television was created by accident? Did Bill Gates just stumble upon the software code that has changed the world? Not a chance!

The Wright brothers created the previews of their first flight in the theatre of their minds. Naturally, there were no limitations to their imaginings as they daydreamed of flying.

Who knows how the dream of television became reality . . . how it was transformed from a mere visualization into vacuum tubes, knobs, and channels?

What went through Bill Gates’ mind prior to his early experiments? Surely his first daydreams were not of a colorful package entitled “Windows 10.” Nevertheless, his vivid imagination took us all from the concept of “1’s” and “0’s” to today’s monumentally complex world of computer software and internet browsers.

What about your daydreams? What goes on in your mind’s eye while no one is looking? What do you see yourself doing in one, three, or five years? Do you hear a special future beckoning you to create an action thriller from the previews running through your imagination? Is there a stirring inside you that begs to be brought to fruition?

Why not take this point in time to get your imagination going again? Instead of binge-watching your favorite television series, spend some time in a chair in your backyard, and simply daydream! Then, once things start getting back to normal, you’ll have a clear picture fresh in your mind, and can start making your daydreams realities!
