Our Study Hall topic this week is the relationship between imagination and results. Today, consider the dynamics involved with what might be called “outrageous” results.
Our great friend, Leigh Gernert – Study Haller and Charter Results 101 Member – sent a link describing an over-the-top experience that could have only been possible by utilizing imagination to its fullest. When you have a moment, take a look at the description of the “Pudding Man” who imagined that he could take his family to Europe by clipping coupons on a Healthy Choice promotion — and he did. Thanks, Leigh!!

Inventors are excellent examples of imagination at work. The Wright Brothers were ridiculed before Kitty Hawk, yet the product of their imagination changed the world. Tuli Kupferberg, American poet, said, “When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.”
Think about your patterns – the ones that work for you and the ones that haven’t. Now imagine how they could be changed. For example, imagine going to the gym in the mornings instead of leaving it to chance after work. Imagine changing eating patterns, ways of dealing with finances, habits of relationships and communication.
Let’s imagine something today that approaches “outrageous” in its potentially great impact on your life and / or the lives of those around you. Let’s grow that muscle of imagination!
