Imagination is the production or simulation of novel objects, sensations, and ideas in the mind without any immediate input of the senses. Stefan Szczelkun characterises it as the forming of experiences in one's mind, which can be re-creations of past experiences, such as vivid memories with imagined changes, or completely invented and possibly fantastic scenes.

But where does the imagination actually come from? Experts say that real life events help form imagination. In fact, human brains often use information stored in memories to come up with the things people imagine. When a person is drifting off into a daydream, brains use those memories to help power the imagination. 

Imagination is a very useful tool. People with strong imaginations come up with ideas others might not think of. They create the world’s greatest inventions. They make powerful art. Some write books that impact others. Would you like to have a stronger imagination? The trick is to experience more things in real life. That helps your brain store more memories to draw from when you imagine. For example, reading is a great way to strengthen your imagination. When you read, your brain stores new information from stories and books. Your imagination can use that information to form a new idea or solve a problem. 

Why do I use a quote with my images?

Ever since I can remember I have used quotes whether it was for Corporate Newsletters or as a Corporate Trainer or Elite Sports Coach. I found they could give a message when there was no other way to express a thought or action. When I started to share my photos and creative images on social media platforms I would look for a quote that would suit the visual, it became part of my style. Over time I have collected a number of quotes and I keep adding to them.

Here is a collection of my favourite quotes I M A G I N A T I O N.
