'Imagine' by Ana Hagins

imagine...


imagine that knowledge is power

because it takes us to different heights,

levels of achievement that not even your

1960’s rocket scientist ever dreamed of.


imagine that we could be motivated to do better

because we understand that “good enough”

is never enough to satisfy the world’s hunger for change.

“Too often we underestimate the power...

the smallest acts of caring, all of which have the potential

to turn life around.” (Leo Bucaglia)


imagine that hard work pays off in the end,

that those who labor diligently need never despair.

Good things come to those who wait,

which means there’s nothing so hard that diligence can’t master it.


imagine that honesty, a by-product of integrity,

is telling people the truth without addition or subtraction.

Integrity, a way of life,

is telling yourself the truth

no matter how bad it hurts.


imagine that it’s possible to be more than men of success.

we can be men of value,

regardless of what others may say or think about us.


Sitting and thinking about such possibilities

only shortens the time for progression.

the sky is the limit, which means

we know no limits to what could be.

Anything’s possible, you just have to

make it happen.
