Your subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between imagination and reality.
Imagination and Reality are the same thing.
There is no difference between your imagination of reality, and the "real" reality in front of you. No difference whatsoever.
How do I know this is true? Scientists agree:
A study was done with athletes, they hooked these athletes up to precise monitoring equipment. They asked these athletes to imagine being out on the field, doing what they do. What they found was astonishing: These athletes heart-rates began to increase, they began to perspire, and their muscles began firing off in the same exact pattern as they would if they were out on the field running right now.
Your subconscious mind cannot differentiate an imagination of being out on the field, and physically being out on the field.
So what does this mean? It means your imagination creates your reality.
You are the master of your own reality. You are sitting at the helm, right now, with your body and mind awaiting your command. Your life is what you make it.
Anything you imagine IS real to your subconscious mind. And if its real to your subconscious mind, it becomes part of your map of reality. And if its part of your map of reality, its part of your life.
Why is that important? Because there are limitations in your map of reality, that you unknowingly put there, that are holding you back from your full infinite potential, that you haven't yet recognized is holding you back. This is especially true if you've never purposefully taken control of your map of reality.
You see, your subconscious mind is largely responsible for creating your reality. It does it on "auto mode", in the background, all to make your life easier. If it weren't for the subconscious mind, learning habits would be impossible! Becoming a star athlete would mean you would have to relearn how to play the game every single day.
However, we do have a subconscious mind. It does make life easier by watching our conscious patterns and making them automatic. It is a HUGE help to you as a human being!
But, it can also be your own biggest downfall, if those automations are what you shouldn't be doing anymore. Those automations were created because they helped you attain a desirable outcome in life at the time of creation, but that may have been the case when you were 5. Now that you are 20, 30, 50+ years old, if you haven't yet renegotiated with that automation, it'll continue itself on "auto-play" indefinitely. Thats why some people grow old, harboring the same issues they've had since they were children.
How do you fix those automations then? How do you pick and choose which ones you want to keep and which ones to forget completely?
Simple. Use your imagination as your sculpting tool.
It is because of your imagination that your life (your map of reality) is how it is now. So, use your imagination to make a different new map!
Stop being a victim to your own map of reality. Take control and imagine a better life! You are always creating your reality, whether you know it (consciously), or you dont know it (subconsciously). So, you best be doing it on purpose than on accident.
And you do have that choice. If you believe you dont have that choice, guess what, you are using your imagination to remove your own power from yourself .....re-read that. Yes, it is possible to use your imagination to cripple yourself. Be careful.
Imagination is the process of reality creation.
The first BIG step in taking full control of your life is, to bridge the gap between imagination and reality. Forget the difference between them, there is none. They are the same thing. When you imagine, you are creating your own reality. There is no "outside" or "more real" reality than your own map of reality, which is created by your imagination.
By believing in a separation between imagination and reality, you are actually imagining that separation. And, by imagining that separation, you are forcing yourself into an infinite loop that will never end, until you finally awaken to the truth of unity between them.
Imagination = Reality
So, in short, accept that imagination and reality as the same thing, and you've already taken the hardest step into the cockpit of your life.
Next, the trick is to take control of your imagination. Step into control, assume control, and begin imagining the life of your dreams. Now.
FORGET all limitations; forget anything that would hold you back, anything (or anyone) that stands in your way. You cannot afford to imagine problems and limitations, because in doing so, you not only prepare for the problem, but you are also creating the problem you need to be ready for! Speaking of an infinite loop...
Heres how to pre-prepare for ANY problem in your life, for the rest of your life: Right now, imagine you are a strong, dynamic, fully able person that can overcome ANY obstacle in your way. You ARE strength, you can and do surmount anything that life throws at you.
Believe this. Dont try or test it, dont experiment with it, believe it right now. If you are having trouble believing in it, then just pretend to. You can at least pretend to know you are strong and able to overcome any obstacle in your life.
Every moment you spend believing, imagining, and/or pretending something, it is becoming more and more real for you. This is a universal, undeniable truth.
Now the real fun can begin.
Begin imagining what your perfect life would be like. THINK about it, what would be happening in your life. SEE yourself inside the mental images and mental movies, see yourself going through the actions, meeting the people, going to the places. FEEL what its like to finally have "it" or "him/her", or being there...
Thinking, seeing, feeling, this all = imagination. The precise combination of these tools is what you use to craft your reality with. Now, here is the glue that holds it all together:
Imagine your reality, the way you want it to be, as if it were already, right now...
This is a VERY important step, without which none of this entire blog post will work at all. It is the glue, the spark, the activator.
Do not imagine your perfect life in "the future". The future never exists. Just like the past doesn't exist anymore. The only moment that EVER exists, is right now.
If you want a million dollars, THINK what its like to have it, SEE yourself having it, giving it away, spending it, etc, and FEEL what its like to finally have it.... ALL, as if you had the million dollars in your hands right now.
Get creative with this. The more creative you are with your imagination, the more detailed your reality will become.

Theres a reason why children daydream... we all come pre-wired to know this truth of life. We've just forgotten the power of imagination through years of not using it, and through belief in separation of imagination and reality.
But no more!
This entire process is a way of life. This is not something you are going to be doing, its who you are becoming that will changing your life.
Every morning when you wake up, remember that this is a brand new day. This day holds infinite potential for you. Your day, your entire life, right now, IS what you are imagining it to be.
If you are using your mind at all (which, if you are into practicing presence/meditation, you'll know its a good idea to turn your mind off frequently), you should at least be filling it with imaginations of how you want life to be, instead of all that "instead" crap.
Choose your thoughts, choose your reality.
And then, at ultimate end, let it all go, and be present in the moment.
