Give Commercial Value to Your Imagination

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Your imagination is one of your intangible assets. Intangible assets are the seeds of God in you for increase. They are meant to generate tangible assets. That is to say that you birth tangible assets with your intangible assets.

Your imagination can become a wealth plaza if the wildest runs of your imagination are properly harnessed to create wealth. Jacob was severally short changed by Laban. Rather than complain, murmur, grumble, wish Laban evil or even curse Laban in his heart or in the fields where he shepherded the flocks of Laban, steal from Laban; Jacob chose to put his imagination to very brilliant use. He collated the strings of ideas on how to come up with streaked animals out of non streaked animals, experimented and succeeded in growing a large number of animals that made him wealthy. Jacob gave commercial value to his imagination and created great wealth. He shared some of the wealth with his twin brother Esau and still had much. That gives an idea of how much wealth the positive use to which he put his imagination generated.

To give commercial value to your imagination, you need to stretch your thinking faculties to the real of extraordinary possibility thinking where you see impossibilities become possibilities. The realm of extraordinary possibility thinking enables you to live life without limits by helping you to see solutions to challenges. It also helps you to expand your horizons. Your horizons are elastic and can be expanded as often as you desire. To expand your horizons, you have to expand your thinking and strategizing abilities and capacities. Think beyond borders, outside the box. Visualize your God given potential to spread out to the right, to the left, North, South, West and East.

This will enable you to reproduce. Reproduction entails a lot of creative and strategic thinking. Jacob arrived at the strategy of overcoming the challenges posed to his prosperity and independence after much thinking. He imagined how to grow speckled flocks from non speckled flocks and implemented and became wealthy. He visualized the process and implemented it.  Jacob used a technology he created from his imagination to grow his personal flock of streaked, speckled and spotted livestock. Please see Genesis Chapters 30 verses 37 to 43 and 31 verses 1 to 18. You can also do same if only you will lift your eyes, look from where you are to where God wants you to be, where you should be globally and not the local champion you think you are and celebrate and therefore have become complacent.
