Imagination Creates Reality



Vincent Willem van Gogh, a painter among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. Despite being considered a madman and a failure in his lifetime, his legacy continues to inspire people. Van Gogh exists in the public imagination as the quintessential misunderstood genius.



                     
The artist "where discourses on madness and creativity converge", Van Gogh sees things differently, and with that he created his very own magic.

Everybody sees the world differently, everyone has their own imagination, and everyone has a mind of their own, yet some of us are too afraid to speak out our thoughts – too afraid to be rejected by society.

We let ourselves be consumed with the current trend and tend to forget how to “be myself”. We’re so blinded by how we should dress, how we should act and how we should talk.

 “One of the greatest regret in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.” – Shannon L. Alder
Everybody has their own opinion on “beauty”. Everyone has their own personalities, and that is what makes each and every one, uniquely beautiful. We slowly build ourselves by searching for the things we love. Happiness comes when we consume our life with what we enjoy and passionate about. Believe in your imagination to create the reality you have wanted.

 “The great successful men of the world have used their imagination. They think ahead and create their mental picture in all its detail, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building – steadily building.” –Robert Collier

We shouldn’t be afraid of what others think of; instead we should be afraid of the things we could have had, but too afraid to reach out.

Transforming our Fear

Ever wonder why it’s very hard for one to go forward? Everyone wants to achieve their goals, everyone wants to succeed – everyone wants a happy ending. But why is it so hard to achieve something? Why do we always seem to find ourselves thinking it’s impossible to win? At times when the issue gets difficult, we turn our backs, thinking the journey is simply impossible. We become afraid and retreat. Why? There would be a solid answer. Fear. Every time I’m set on a journey, ‘fear’ tends to invade me. I let fear conquer me; hence I tend to fail achieving certain thing. Fear of being rejected Fear of failing Fear of starting something new Fear of letting go certain things Fear of being alone Everyone has fear, no matter how brave the person may seem – everyone is a little scared. It’s okay to feel a bit scared. Fear is a vital response to physical and emotional danger – if we don’t feel it, we won’t protect ourselves from any sorts of threat. We face our fear and lea

Waiting for What?

Most of the time people sit idle by, waiting for an opportunity - waiting for the “right time”. Waiting for these moments is like waiting for snow to fall in a desert, the possibilities are rare, and there would be a 4 to 1 chance it could happen, waiting for a miracle without putting any effort would be a waste of time. It is true that everyone wants to have a happy ending, but why do some have to sit and do nothing? Why not stand up and try? What is holding us back? What is the exact reason for us to delay our goals?  Everyday we strive for motivation, strive to achieve, yet again, we make excuse.  Many wants to succeed yet, still there are people who are afraid.     Fear.  Fear have held us back, fear have made us weak and so we make excuses, because fear have gotten in the way, our motivation are weakened.   "I'm afraid, because I'm not good enough."    "I'm scared because I don't know what will happen."    "I fear that I will fai

Brave Little Flower

“Even the littlest flower can withhold a storm” My little niece, Alyshana Ariel was diagnosed with thalassemia major at the age of 1 year 9 months. Children born with thalassemia usually develop the symptoms of severe anaemia within the first year of their life. They lack the ability to produce normal, adult haemoglobin and experience chronic fatigue. They may also fail to thrive, but luckily my niece had her early treatments. My little niece had her weekly transfusion, and I remember when she used to cry so much when the doctors poked needles in her.   Having sufficient blood packs in the blood bank was difficult, my sister had to spread the news about her daughter, pleading for friends and family to help donate blood to my little niece, luckily for us, we have a big family and my sister have amazing friends. News spread like wildfire, and soon a lot of people knew about Ariel. The first time Ariel went for blood transfusion, she was scared, only a child at 1 year 9 mo
