Imagination & Reality balance

  18th Nov 2025  |   By NINAAD HB

We love imagination, right?
Imagination has no limits. You can imagine becoming a doctor, a bank manager, an actor — or even imagine something completely illogical like marrying a celebrity who doesn’t know you.
Imagination feels good because it has no pressure, no rules, no consequences.
But if you stay too long in imagination, it can delay your action for months or years, until suddenly you realise:
“I imagined everything… but nothing actually changed.”
Logic feels boring, stressful, confusing — full of ups and downs.
But logic has one superpower:
Logic converts dreams into reality.

We Live in Two Worlds


Inner World = Imagination (DMN)


Outer World = Logic (PFC)


You need both to succeed.

Brain vs Mind


Brain = physical organ


Mind = thoughts + emotions + awareness + interpretation


The brain uses two powerful networks:

1) DMN – Default Mode Network (Imagination Mode)
This is where dreams are born.
DMN gives you:


Imagination


Creativity


Vision


Motivation


Purpose


🔹 Ask yourself:


“What do I imagine when anything feels possible?”


“What future excites me so much that I can’t ignore it?”



2) PFC – Prefrontal Cortex (Logic + Action Mode)
This is where imagination becomes reality.
PFC gives you:


Planning


Analysis


Discipline


Small steps → Big results


✔ Example: Becoming a Doctor
DMN (Imagination):
“I want to become a doctor.”
PFC (Action):


Study biology & chemistry


Prepare for NEET


Observe seniors


Practise MCQs daily


Give mock tests


Improve score step-by-step


Every small action activates the PFC and pushes the dream into reality.

✔ Example: Becoming an Actor
DMN (Imagination):
“I want to become a famous actor.”
PFC (Action):


Practising expressions


Observing movies


Learning dialogue delivery


Taking acting classes


Auditioning regularly


Improving after rejections


Actors reach success not because they imagined…
but because they took PFC-driven small steps every day.

The Core Difference
DMN imagines the destination.
PFC builds the road to reach it.
Too much DMN = fantasy, delay
Too much PFC = stress, no creativity
Balanced = transformation

The Formula for Real Success
Less imagination + Balanced logic (small steps) = Getting what you want
Imagination gives direction.
Logic gives steps.
Action gives results.
