From One Man To Another – Part II
Written by Manny Diez   
Tuesday, 12 August 2008

I had a reason for talking about radio in Part I of this article. How the images you conjured up in your mind as you listened were so much better than any multi-million dollar special effect you see in movies today. Every film with a $200 million budget—most of that budget goes toward creating those SPECIAL EFFECTS with very sophisticated computer programs. Not so with your imagination, which is fully capable of conjuring up the most brilliant of scenarios all on its own, and it’s totally free. The sky really is the limit where your imagination is concerned.

I am going to take it for granted that you have some free time on your hands. Remember the hours you spent on Day Dreams? Are such personal indulgences really the strict property of the young? NO they are not! And remember how much fun they were? Oh, sure. You knew the odds of your pitching for the Yankees, scoring the winning touchdown in the national championship game, walking on the moon, scoring with the cutest girl in school, etc.—were just that. Dreams only, and nowhere related to reality. But, boy, how great they were inside your head—where everything was possible. Does it occur to you that still might still be the case? That everything is possible? You won’t know that, of course, unless you go inside yourself and start exploring.

When was the last time you indulged in such mental meanderings? I think what happens is, as we mature, we decide what a waste of time it is to invite fantasies into our minds. After all, none of them are ever going to come true, so why bother? Well, it’s true that you will not likely be pitching for the Yankees or walking on the moon in this lifetime, and there is no cutest girl in school anymore.

But, dreams are the fodder we use to build our realities, and if you are not willing to step inside that plane, you are sure to discover you are going nowhere at all.
