Imagine a Rainbow


"Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will." - George Bernard Shaw

Many of us grew up with stories of about a pot-of-gold at the end of a rainbow. We would search for the beauty of a departing rain storm hoping that the rainbow would touch us. We never found that pot-of-gold for we could never find the end of the rainbow.

As we grew older, we gave up imagining it ever existed.

Now you may think I'm going to say there actually is gold at the end of a rainbow. You are hoping I will proclaim that all we have to do is chase down the rainbow. It will be there we find our dreams will be fulfilled.

Happiness and success will be ours if only we locate it.

The reality is that a rainbow is simply rays of the Sun bouncing off water droplets in the sky. There is no physical pot that contains gold sitting at the ends of its arc. The rainbow is not where we will find all of our dreams and hopes realized.

Yet, it is in the beauty of a rainbow we can let our imagination flourish.

The rainbow is a reminder that things are possible in our lives. It allows us to imagine that a pot-of-gold in the form of happiness, success and greater good exists. Do not let your imagination or dreaming disappear with the fading rainbow.

Embrace the idea of imagining better things in your life.

Let the imagination of that rainbow be a powerful motivator in your life. Let the rainbow be your reminder to imagine more for your life. Continue to seek out the "end of the rainbow" for those things you dream about.

Stay inspired my friends.
