This following beautiful quote is attributed to English musician David Bowie who coined and used it as a slogan to promote his epic song, Heroes, which remains one of his greatest hits.

From another perspective, it neatly captures one of his most important talents: to intuit the future and draw it forward into the popular culture of the present.

Frankly, we all have this innate capability to intuit the future, just by stretching our imagination, for imagination transcends space and time, drawing intellectual cues from Dr Maxwell Maltz of the Psycho-Cybernetics fame.

Here's a quick sampling of his astute observations to drive home his point :

• "Begin to imagine what the desirable outcome would be like.";
• "For imagination sets the goal pictures which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but becaus eof imagination... ";
• "Realising that our actions, feelings, and behaviours are the result of our own images...";
• "Study the situation thoroughly, go over your imagination the various courses of action possible to you and the consequences... ";
• "The thing to point out is that our brain doesn't distinguish between imagination and reality; instead, it acts based on the information (a.k.a. images) we send...";
• "The imagination, aimless, may provide pleasant entertainment. Applied purposefully, it can effectively program your self-image and, in turn, your Automatic Success Mechanism to realize whatever goals you choose.";
• "... first of all picture some... desirable future outcome, or goal, very vividly in your imagination. You use no effort or willpower. But you keep dwelling on the “end result.” You keep thinking about it—dwelling on it—picturing it to yourself as a “possibility.... Constantly picturing to yourself, and dwelling on, a desirable end result will also make the possibility seem more real... ";
  

Bravissimo!
