Imagination, Knowledge, Power —Which is it going to Be?

Quick quiz! If a genie popped into your life and were willing to grant you a limitless supply of (you get to choose only one!) imagination, knowledge, or power, which would you choose? Imagination, with its dancing flights of fancy and dreams of better futures? Knowledge, so many rich details and information to serve you on so many paths? Or Power, with its pulsing energy and drive, allowing you to barrel your way into a life you desire? The genie lays out the rules: whatever amount of the two non-chosen items are already in your life will be about as much as you will ever have. But the chosen item is infinite and will keep you company until the end of your days.

It’s a fun exercise to do and your answer might surprise you! It also might be a moment when you realize which of the three you might need more of in your life.
