Great quote but for me I consider -

- MY - imagination was given to - ME - not to compensate for what - I - am not, but as a tool to - MY - helping - ME -become what - I - am and can be.

to - ME - compensate means - I - don't have and never will have something so there is a replacement, instead of that thing.

- MY - imagination is not a replacement for anything that - I - don't have. it is instead something that helps inhance what - I - do have.
