The Magic Within: How Imagination and Emotion Shape a Life You Love
What once seemed impossible — flying machines, space travel, instant communication — is now part of everyday life, all because someone dared to imagine it first. This blog explores the power of imagination, showing how our thoughts shape our reality as I learned it from the Master Key Experience.
From relationships to health to success, everything begins in the mind. By cultivating inner peace and a clear vision, we unlock our true creative power and turn dreams into everyday magic.
You, too, can discover how to harness your imagination to design a joyful, fulfilling, and extraordinary life.
The Magic Within Starts with Imagination
We all are capable of being magicians… it just begins with our imagination! The first car, the first airplane, the first phone, the first camera… they were all just a dream that someone imagined, visualized, and eventually turned into a reality.
This works on every scale, and in literally every aspect of our lives. If we can imagine something, we can have it! The same analogy applies to us, beginning in our minds. If we think it is possible to have deeply loving, wonderful and fun relationships, we create them.
If we think that it is possible for others in our lives to be happy and successful… we create that. If we can imagine being perfectly healthy, we can be. Here’s an excellent example, expressed by my friend, Aurora.
We must learn to fill our minds with what we want and be persistent in keeping those loving, fun thoughts in place so that we get what we want more quickly, even instantly.
Our lives are supposed to be easy! Our lives are supposed to be joyful, fun, and magical! We are supposed to create flourishing businesses, successful and happy children and loved ones, financial freedom, our dream jobs, etc.
We are supposed to create lots of fun and fulfilling circumstances in our lives. When we use our minds the way they should be used, we take our lives to a level beyond what we ever thought was possible.
Build a Strong Foundation
It starts with building a foundation of true inner peace, happiness, and a calm, healthy mindset within yourself first. This fuels the calm knowing.
It will allow you the healthy mindset needed to most easily play the perfect scenario over and over again in your mind, until it becomes a part of you. Until you see it as a done deal.
Until you know that it is just a matter of time and it is yours. When you know it, when you truly know it… then… it becomes your new reality and creates a life of pure magic, as my life is becoming.
Take time to check in with yourself. At various points throughout the day, stop and ask yourself, “How am I feeling right now, in this moment?” Then, it’s important to think about what you’re thinking about. What were your thoughts in the moments just prior that contributed to this feeling?
Did you choose to get angry because someone wouldn’t do what you thought they should? If so, why? Each person makes their own choices, right? Our minds can choose to focus on allowing others to have their own freedom of choice, then we suffer less on the results.
Thoughts and Feelings Power the Magic Within
Here’s the key. Whatever you are thinking about right now (and your perspective about it) is causing you to feel a certain way. Your thoughts are the content in your reality. They represent the direction in which you are headed with the creative process.
For example, here’s a quote from Charles Haanel to help you see how the two tie together:
“An understanding of these facts, first intellectually and then emotionally, will enable us to drink deeply from this ocean of infinite power. An intellectual understanding will be of no assistance; the emotions must be brought into action; thought without feeling is cold. The required combination is thought and feeling.”
— Charles Haanel, The Master Key System, 20:17
And your feelings are the fuel by which you create your reality. So, when you empower yourself by putting your focus and priority on feeling good, you pave the way to your next good-feeling experience.
So, in fact, the very most important question to ask yourself is this: “What am I feeling right now?”
Why is this crucial in creating the most amazing life for yourself? Because only when we feel good, when we are living from our hearts, do we create what we truly desire. We also create the reverse, by thinking and feeling bad and locking our hearts we create what we don’t want in our lives.
That’s why we need to check in with ourselves throughout the day and make sure we are feeling lots of love and gratitude. We also need to make sure we are having lots of fun!
How can you begin to feel even better? Yes, we can always feel better! No matter how wonderful we feel, there is no limit to how much more wonderful we can feel. Love is limitless! That’s my perspective.
Ultimately, the bodily experience influences a subsequent emotion and action, thereby creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. So, a new behavior creates a new outcome. Essentially, what you believe, you create. Good or bad.
Feel Good, Fast
Now, for the easiest and simplest way to feeling good fast. Love yourself, everyone and everything more than ever before. Send others love from your heart before you meet with them or talk to them on the phone.
As you walk from point A to point B, imagine walking through the air that has become love. Allow everyone the right to be perfectly on their path. When we choose the most loving thoughts, words, and actions of love, gratitude, and fun, we always feel so good.
And when you feel good, it’s easier than ever to create more of what you want in the only moment that matters… NOW.
Charles Haanel taught that thoughts are causative, meaning they shape your experiences. Modern psychology agrees. Many studies show that your thoughts influence your feelings, which in turn influence your actions and ultimately your life outcomes.

Example: Thinking “I’m not good enough” leads to low energy and avoidance. Thinking “I’m capable and growing” boosts mood and productivity.
True magic begins with imagination, is fueled by feeling, and becomes reality through persistence and belief. The secret is to think and feel as if your dream is already true — because in the creative process, it already is.

Thank you Cindy! Maintaining that positive mindset is so important – the magic within – super!
I write with pleasure, thank you for your comment.
Yeah, what Cindy wrote… it resonates with me…
Choose what to think and feel while putting love in front of everything. Thus creating a happy and healthy mindset and setting magic in motion.
Love this blog!
I love you!
Thanks for the energetic belief in you that enabled you to write this, Cindy! It’s exactly what so many need to hear, though they may not be “aware” they need that. I actually set alarms on my phone through the day to call me to be “mindful” for a few moments to ask questions like the ones you nudge us to ask here!
I am going to start doing this too!
Alarm setting especially for the tribe calls!!!
I love the way you express yourself and how you incorporate quotes from Haanel, as well as weave my story into the narrative. I love this: “The secret is to think and feel as if your dream is already true — because in the creative process, it already is.”
You are every so kind and thoughtful to say. Thank you, Ms. Aurora.
I love how you show that imagination and emotion aren’t just ideas—they’re tools you’re actually using. Choosing joy and vision daily makes your message real and inspiring, and it motivates others to do the same.
Thank you, for reading my blog, much appreciate you for commenting.
Cindy, your blog makes such a valid point about our inner intuition, imagination and personal integrity and how we create our reality.
Poignant words, thank you.
I am very honored Peaches you stop by to comment, I am blessed.
That notion of “magic” within is fascinating, but you’re right. That’s where the true magic lies, deep within us. We have the power to make a better life for us and others if we just use the tools to release it. Thank you!
Magic, everything is so magical indeed. As we are all life’s miracles!!!
Love this. Creating love and happiness using my imagination for every one reading this.
Cindy, your gentle wisdom really resonated. I deeply appreciate how you remind us that imagination filled with feeling is a roadmap to our heart’s desires. Thank you for sharing.
Oh, this is just Beautiful Cindy! Thank You for sharing all of these insights with us. I needed to read this today. 💞
Cindy, you are truly living your life this way. Thank you for sharing with such a passion and love! I can feel that as I am reading your blog. Thank you for just being YOU!
