I think my most creative job is the one I have now. We’re self employed and I’m constantly thinking of ways to word ads, generate more business, save money, create forms on my computer to stay organized, and when I’m not doing that, I get to blog. How sweet is that?

Hey Tom, wow! It’s amazing how fast we succumb to social norms. I’ve been there and felt the pressure, but we need to fight this response. By letting our kids run with their imagination they will be happier and more prosperous.

Hey Pollyanna, doctors say that the brain can’t distinguish between a dream (visualization) and a real event. I read that in a Dr. Amen book. Amen. (”Making a Good Brain Great” – Awesome author by the way) If we can use our imagination to create the life of our desires then you are right – the possibilities are endless. It’s just harnessing this ability that takes time, energy and persistence. We all have the ability, but we need to make the effort.

Regarding what you said about imagination. A few years ago I spoke to kids in schools. In fifth grade when I asked about their dreams about 85% would have dreams of being a sports star, entertainer or some other high profile celebrity. But at least they had dreams. Just five short years later when I spoke to ninth graders less than 10% of them had a big dream. I realize that some were reluctant to admit it at that age because of social pressures but the drop was startling. Our society’s affect on belief in self and imagination is not so hot.
