How Does Halloween Relate to Setting Goals?
After a month of anticipation of Halloween by my grandson, I began thinking about how this holiday of costumes and Trick or Treat related to setting goals. You’re probably wondering how I can possibly connect the two.
Question: What is the biggest thrill about dressing up for Halloween? Answer: Pretending to be someone else for a day. Now, I am not suggesting that you spend your days pretending to be someone else that you’re not. There is some sense of reality when setting your goals and moving through life.
What I am suggesting is to use your imagination and dream, just like a child dressing up to Trick or Treat on Halloween. Use your creative genius to envision what it is that you want out of life. What do you truly desire? What are your biggest dreams for the future? How are you going to get the mother lode of candy?
In Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich!, his “Fifth Step toward Riches” is Imagination. In his book he stated:
Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes. Ideas are products of the imagination.
He also stated:
Transformation of the intangible impulse, of desire, into the tangible reality,
of money, calls for the use of a plan, or plans. These plans must be formed with
the aid of the imagination, and mainly, with the synthetic faculty.
The synthetic imagination is one that reorganizes old ideas into new ones. The creative imagination is where inspirations or hunches are derived.
So my challenge to you is to put on your thinking cap, reflect on your passion and purpose, and let your imagination run wild. Pretend you already have what you desire, and reflect back on how you got there.
To your success!
