I think it depends on how one defines “imagination.” My imagination provides me with all kinds of grand visions of possibilities. (Like the Robert Kennedy-appropriated quote from George Bernard Shaw, “I see things that never were and ask, why not?”)

But I also have an “internal critic” that tells me all the reasons why I shouldn’t pursue this dream or that one, why I should be more realistic and less of a dreamer.

Do I choose to listen to the internal critic and rob my self of the chance to chase my dreams? No. I chase my dreams and, by doing so, find that some of them at least, can, in fact, come true!
