		<description>Hi Karl,

I think my most creative job is the one I have now.  We&#039;re self employed and I&#039;m constantly thinking of ways to word ads, generate more business, save money, create forms on my computer to stay organized, and when I&#039;m not doing that, I get to blog.  How sweet is that?

		<description>Hey Evelyn, an injection of joy... not the illigal stuff that wrecks lives, but the simple joy of letting our imaginations go wild is just good for the soul.

Hey Tom, wow! It&#039;s amazing how fast we succumb to social norms. I&#039;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&#039;t distinguish between a dream (visualization) and a real event. I read that in a Dr. Amen book. Amen. (&quot;Making a Good Brain Great&quot; - 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&#039;s just harnessing this ability that takes time, energy and persistence. We all have the ability, but we need to make the effort.</description>

		<description>My most imaginative work (I don&#039;t use the term job) is a tie between my coaching business now and the entertainment company I founded in 1992. In both I have (had) the freedom to create what I want, when I wanted to and to see if the marketplace said yes. That&#039;s nirvana to me.

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&#039;s affect on belief in self and imagination is not so hot.

		<description>Using our imagination makes us feel alive. It injects joy into our lives.  When we can learn to funnel creativity into what we are doing, it is possible to create wonders! Getting a career boost with using our creativity is definitely an excellent idea!

		<description>Hey Harmony, thanks for the kind words. I really think that our imaginations are resources that we need to reconnect with. The more awareness that we bring to this idea the more people will join in.</description>

		<description>I am a new visitor to your blog, and I want to applaud your theme.  In one way, I profit because adults have forgotten how to use their imaginations for their own good (instead of to worry.)  But like you, I would far rather inspire our world of adults to shake off the &quot;maturity&quot; and allow our minds to think new and with openness and gratitude.. with w.o.n.d.e.r.

Thanks for the inspiration!
