Imagination and mental attitude go hand in hand. If you have a positive mental attitude then your imagination will benefit you. On the other hand, a negative state of mind will yield a bleak imagination that produces an undesirable outcome.
Napoleon Hill admonishes misuse of imagination like imagining getting something for nothing or assuming knowledge without experience or skill. It is important to stay away from the negative mentality that causes the snowball effect of unproductive thinking and behaviors. We do this by consistently self-analizing what causes or motivates us to take action and/or not take action. When we identify the triggers of advantageous and harmful attitudes and practices, we can then adjust our code of conduct toward being champions in our chosen field of endeavor.
