And yet we use it constantly without really considering what an astonishing ability it is.

You could be sitting quietly at home and suddenly picture yourself walking along a beach in Australia.

Remember the smell of your grandmother's kitchen? Hear a piece of music in your mind? Or see yourself doing something you've never actually done before? Nothing around you has physically changed.

Human beings have this extraordinary ability to see beyond what is already in front of us, which is how so many new things come into existence in the first place.

Somebody has an idea, imagines a possibility, and then begins working out how to actually bring it into physical reality.

Of course, we're not always particularly clever about how we use this magnificent faculty.

We create the entire situation in our mind, decide what everybody's going to say, predict everything that's going to go wrong, and then experience the emotions associated with the imaginary disaster we've just produced.

Yet we've written the script, hired the cast, directed the movie, starred in it, and frightened ourselves half to death at the premiere.

If we're capable of using imagination to frighten ourselves about a future that hasn't happened, surely we can become more conscious about using that same extraordinary faculty to explore possibilities we would actually love to experience.

Our brains are continually changing and adapting according to what we experience, learn, practice, and repeatedly give our attention to.

This ability of the nervous system to change is part of what scientists called neuroplasticity.
