Cultivating Creativity Through Imagination


By Walt Carvalho

I enjoy reading. I always have. While growing up I would be involved in the regular activities along with the other kids but I also always looked forward to the trip we would make to the local library.

Through the years I’ve read many books. I can remember reading about sports legends, famous people, mystical distant lands, just to name a few. It always presented worlds to me through the power of the written word.

As I got older the reading became more serious. It gave me more information on topics of interest. It gave me opportunities of growth and understanding. It helped me build as well as repair. It gave me tools.

The online social environment we share today, that is accessible through digital platforms, provides us with great amounts of content. There are new authors sprouting up every minute with stories to tell and experiences to share. It’s nice to find an author, either in book or online form, who is able to spark ones imagination.

Through the practice of imagining we cultivate creativity. As we cultivate creativity we begin to open the door of fresh ideas and having the power to bring to life things that are new. Give your imagination a workout everyday. Find whatever it is that makes it come to life. Use it as a great gift.

There are many social tools available online for us today. The magic really happens when those tools are mixed with creativity and imagination.
