Imagery: The Root of Your Spiritual Success
Be decisive. State what you intend to do—then do it.
Every action we take in life begins first as an image in our mind's eye. Whether we notice it or not, we always see ourselves doing something in the mind’s eye before we physically do it. Even something as mundane as running an errand starts with a mental picture.
You’ve already imagined it.
Imagination is the foundation of our spiritual growth and practical success. imagination is the seed of all creation—the clearer the image, the better the outcome.
"Be Decisive. See It. Do It."
Everything Starts Within
Our lives unfold from the inside out. Before anything can be realized externally, it must first be envisioned internally as an image.
This is true in both spiritual development and everyday tasks.
Spirit speaks in images, and we create our world by what we continuously picture.
When we’re about to try something new, we often seek guidance from someone who has done it before—someone who can lead the way.
The outcome is always better when we do.
Whether it's a mentor, a coach, or even divine help, we seldom walk entirely alone.
Sometimes, the Universe orchestrates support for us—without us even realizing it.
Yes, often (or maybe always) help comes from beyond, gently guiding us to the right people, places, and answers.
Most of us don’t do life entirely alone. And we don’t have to.
Become the Watcher of Your Thoughts
Take a moment today to observe your thoughts and imaging.
What are you imagining? What are you thinking about doing next? Can you see how your inner images are quietly driving your choices and actions?
You might be surprised to realize just how much of your life is unfolding based on what you’ve already pictured in your mind.
For example, yesterday I vacuumed the master-bedroom and the hallway. That morning, I had already seen myself doing it.
I made lunch and mentally planned my dinner recipe—because I had imagined that sauce the day before. It was already “cooked” in my inner world.
Interestingly, I had also planned to write this blog post over the weekend, but I didn’t. Why? I couldn’t see it yet. I couldn’t imagine the message clearly enough to sit down and write. I had no image or not enough inspiration to act upon.
Try it for yourself. Take note of your thoughts and images.
Your Imagination Shapes Your Reality & Spiritual Growth
If you have a vivid imagination, you’ll notice how everything—your home, your habits, your hobbies, your goals—began as a thought-image within.
But what if you don’t see anything clearly in your mind? What if your imagination feels dull or out of reach and foggy?
That’s a clue.
If you’re not consciously using your imagination, something else might be using it for you. Life may feel like it’s happening to you, not through you or for you. You may be running on autopilot, guided by external influences rather than inner purpose.
Reclaim Your Creative Power
To reclaim control, start simply.
State what you intend to do
See yourself doing it
Then do it!
Each time you affirm an intention, you activate your imagination. You begin to see it, feel it, believe it. To make it real and not fall in the negative aspect of your images; start doing it on the spot!
Beware and don’t be surprised when resistance shows up.
You might hear voices in your mind saying:
“You’ll fail.”
“You have no experience.”
“It’s already been done.”
“It will take too long.”
“You’re not ready.”
This negative imagery is a spiritual test. Don’t fall for it.
Be firm. Refuse to give your energy to fear-based imagination.
Instead, cultivate images that are uplifting, empowering, exciting, and forward-moving. This is the power of conscious creation. This is spiritual discipline in action.
Spiritual Growth Often Requires Support - Seek Guidance
When you are stepping into new territory—a new project, a job, a way of being, new habits—it’s perfectly normal to feel unsure. That’s why it’s helpful to work with someone who has already walked that path.
Hire a coach. Find a mentor. Talk to a guide. Spiritual and practical support helps you cross that initial threshold until you can see clearly for yourself.
Progress, Not Perfection
This process takes practice. It won’t be perfect overnight. But your spiritual growth starts the moment you begin to imagine differently.
Start seeing yourself succeeding.
Start stating your intentions.
Then do it!
Start imagining a life that is guided by Spirit, grounded in love, and powered by purpose.
Take charge of your life by harnessing the power of your imagination.
