The Importance of Imagination | For My Sons - Episode 10

In this episode, we explore the boundless power of imagination — the force that inspires us to dream, create, and shape new worlds.

There’s a Yoruba proverb that says, “Agbalagba to jẹ́ kí ọmọ rẹ̀ fò ọkọ̀n balẹ̀, kì í re,” which translates as “An elder who allows his child to follow his dreams does not tire easily.”

This timeless wisdom reminds us that true guidance lies in supporting the dreams of the next generation — and keeping our own sense of wonder alive.

We also dive into practical steps you can take today to nurture your imagination:

✅ Set aside regular quiet time to let your mind wander freely

✅ Keep a “dream journal” to record your ideas and visions, no matter how wild they seem

✅ Surround yourself with people and environments that encourage creativity, not limit it

✅ Give yourself permission to explore without immediate judgement or pressure

By taking these simple yet powerful actions, you’ll not only keep your imagination alive but also unlock new opportunities in every area of your life.
