IMAGINATION, POSITIVIST AND PERSPECTIVE, THE OPTIMIST'S TOOL FOR CHARTING A RIGHT COURSE.
Your imagination, vision and perspective(s) in life, helps you chart your path through life's hurdles, whether negative or positive. The choice is yours.
While i read through some articles here on steemit some days back, I stumbled on Ejemai’s post on
Thinking where he stated that
You are your thought process. Your thought process helps form a better you and you must be in true lining with it.
And his post on Time Management where he stated that
Productivity is key in whatever you do
And i decided to come up with this, having gone through some external sources as well.
The mind and everything that proceeds out of it is what forms who a person is, who the person becomes and who same person will never be. Of course, the optimist nature of a breathing being is as a result of his thoughts, imagination and perspectives. And so is the pessimist. The world’s richest are those with the right mindset and thought, whether about a circumstance or about the world in general. However, I’d be outline the idea behind the keywords; POSTIIVTY, PERSPECTIVE, IMAGINATION AND OPTIMIST.
IMAGINATION.
Imagination, is the soil that brings dreams to life.” Anonymous
Imagination is basically the ability to frame your thoughts or mental image of a thing, a situation, a state that could go beyond the five senses of the body. It is the ability/ power to build a non-existing image of oneself or an image hoped for. This could also be used interchangeably with the word FANTASIZE.
Of course, the degree of imagination differs as the people do. For this reason, it manifests in a higher degree than others and could be weaker in some and stronger in others. Imagination aids in living a world you desire, first in your mind and then it subsequently plays out.
A developed, and strong imagination does not make you a daydreamer and impractical. On the contrary, it strengthens your creative abilities, and is a great tool for recreating and remodeling your world and life.
Imagination is not just idle daydreaming but also adds values to one’s life. It occurs in everyone’s life. We all get involved in imagination, whether consciously or unconsciously. When we are involved in our daily affairs, we use our imaginations to set out plans for the day as well as to envisage the outcome of the plan. So practically, it’s ok to imagine as it doesn’t make you a mere daydreamer but helps you plan out your activities see the world differently.
POSITIVITY

Staying positive is not as easy as their say. Sometimes situations toss you around the hurdles of life, but you have to build your consciousness to be wrapped around positivism.
Positive thinking is a mental and emotional attitude that focuses on the bright side of life and expects positive results.
The positive minded person has no down-times, as he always tries to stay positive about his every move. Of course, the mind has been fine-tuned to think in a particular way, obviously with the happening around a person. But what makes you distinct from the random down-talker and spoiler, is the ability to set your mind on a positive course. This is the optimist's greatest tool.
This is also seen as a stress relief exercise. Staying positive is staying happy.
PERSPECTIVE
...the world changes when your perspective changes.
The power of perspective gives one the ability to see things differently. Only your perception is reality. Reality is not what happens to you but how you have chosen to see what happened. Like imagination and positivity, your mind is the chamber all your thoughts flow out from. If your imagination is wrong, of course, you'd already be infected with negativity, thus your perspective just follows suit.
Is your glass half-empty or half-full?
The ball is absolutely in your court.
OPTIMIST
Indeed, some studies show that personality traits such as optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of your health and well-being. The positive thinking that usually comes with optimism is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is associated with many health benefits. If you tend to be pessimistic, don't despair — you can learn positive thinking skills. See Here
Being an optimist is nothing short of how you perceive life and all it throws at you. Being optimistic is basically one's ability to make good sense out of mishaps.
