It is difficult to make internal changes. When the imagination has been stimulated and applied to the task, there is no need for us to apply will-power to force ourselves to do the things necessary to attain our goal. Success will be easy and not difficult for us. The imagination is so powerful that when applied negatively, it can be quite destructive. It can actually paralyze people with fear and make them gravely ill.
Phobias have their root in the imagination.
Fear and worry gain their power through the imagination. Nothing has a more powerful effect upon the subconscious than the imagination. If there were no imagination, the psychiatrists would all be out of business. Yes, the imagination is a powerful thing. Now, if the imagination can cause all these destructive things to happen to people, think for a moment how much good might be achieved if all the force of the imagination is applied in a constructive way.
