Without leaps of out-of-the-box imagination, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning as the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. You can't force creativity into a box. If you try, they'll no longer be creative. And no one will want your box.
“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, and you will find what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will” – George Bernard Shaw Even in the best & most supportive of circumstances, the creative path is not an easy one. We can all recall times during our early years when our creative talents were shut down, leaving us thinking & feeling as if there was no possible way we could be creative.
The truth of the matter is that we all are made up of pure creative energy. Yet people have a tendency to dismiss, discount & rob themselves of their most powerful essence, the characteristic which supports defining who they uniquely are as individuals, their creativity. Creativity comes when we view any given situation with a fresh & different perspective. One of our greatest keys to more fully accessing & utilizing our creative potential is a positive & open attitude.
Breaking OUT-OF-THE-BOX: “Throwback the shoulders, let the heart sing, let the eyes flash, let the mind be lifted up, look upward & say to yourself, ‘Nothing is impossible. “- Norman Vincent Peale When we were a kid we used to imagine everything, from flying horses to chocolates growing on trees. Although they were very kiddish but still, if we compare the imagination & creativity of a child with an adult, they were far beyond our capabilities.
Most of us have some of the other creative ideas, but at times we hesitate to share. It may be because we feel it's immature thought, or maybe it is a very silly imagination. The key to success is to risk thinking unconventional thoughts. A convention is the enemy of progress. Suppose you go down just one corridor of thought; you never get to see what’s in the rooms leading off it. So think different… Share with us… Together we can make it happen.
