In this episode, we will be busting some myths around imagination and providing you with our tools and tricks for high performers!

Close your eyes. I want you to imagine a pink elephant in a room. Do you see the pink elephant in a white room? Now, notice that pink elephant jumping up and down on your bed in your white room? Could you picture that whole thing? Then that means you’re a creator. It means you’re imaginative. Just because you’re not in a creative industry does not mean you don’t have that gift. We all have the DNA of being creators.

Maybe your gift is supposed to be used in a nonprofit space. Perhaps your imaginative gift is for you to think of and solve world problems. Maybe you imagine that a gift is to serve people in your community in a way that they have never been served before. You have to use it within the sphere of influence and the uniqueness God put inside of you. That’s the only way you’re able to use it.
