I am not young enough to know everything

"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."

-Henry Ford

When I read this quote, it stopped me in my tracks. I immediately copied it, pasted it and shared it with my social networking friends:)

We, as people, expect the norm; or perhaps a little above the norm. It's our comfort zone. We feel all warm and cozy; "the norm" is an adult's security blanket.

I am not young enough to know everything. - Oscar Wilde

This evening, Mr. Ford inspired me to break past my chains and barriers of limiting thoughts and beliefs and to once again allow myself to dream the impossible. If you are like me, it's not that we had forgotten to dream. It's just that life, work, family, and the grind of every day life get in the way; we get caught in what is, not what could be. We get caught in familiarity and repetition. We get caught in habit.

When did we lose the child-like thinking in us? The innocence? The possibilities? The time when thoughts were dreams and dreams were realities? When everything was possible and nothing was impossible. The time when if there wasn't a door to take us to what we wanted, we created one. When did the transformation in our thinking go from anything is possible to everything is impossible?

I can't say that I remember where or when that change took place, but I can say that most of us are driven by life; we are not driving our lives.

"Once you make a decision, the Universe conspires to make it happen."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Eat something different for breakfast today. Take different way to work today. Tell someone that you love them today. Break the habit of the same old thing and allow your creative juices to flow. If you are in a rut, it's time to get out. If we keep doing the same things that we did yesterday, than how can we expect different things to happen tomorrow?

Allow yourself to dream, even if it's just for a moment. Wherever you are, in your cubicle, in your office, at your kitchen table; let go of what is and begin to think of what could be. Write your thoughts down, create a dreamboard. Share your dreams with a friend. It doesn't really matter what you do, but do something. Do something to get your juices flowing. Do something to break the habitual thinking. Do something that will inspire you.

When we begin to drive our lives, great things and great discoveries can happen.

Have an amazingly creative and inspired day!
