Proverbs 29:18
'Where there is no vision, the people perish...'
Stop and daydream once in a while. We all need to let our imaginations roam and give them a chance to breathe. It’s never too late for you to start thinking more creatively.
Often it is merely a lack of imagination that keeps a person from his potential. Thinking of new ideas is like shaving: if you don’t do it every day, you’re a bum. Start and maintain a constant flow of new, exciting, and powerful ideas on which you can act immediately.
Continually frustrate tradition with your creativity and imagination.
Your dreams are a preview of your greatness. All men who have achieved great things have been dreamers. It may be that those who do most, dream most. A shallow thinker seldom makes a deep impression. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of vision. Only a person who sees the invisible can do the impossible.
You’ll get more out of every part of your life if you stay incurably curious. ‘The important thing is to not stop questioning. Never lose a holy curiosity.’ (Albert Einstein) Dexter Yager says, ‘Don’t let anyone steal your dream.’
‘We’ve got to have a dream if we are going to make a dream come true.’ (Denis Waitley) Nothing happens unless there’s a dream first. The more you can dream, the more you can do.
God gave us a world unfinished so we might share in the joys and satisfaction of creation: ‘Creativity has been built into every one of us; it’s part of the design. Each of us lives less of the life God intended for us when we choose not to live out the creative powers we possess.’ (Ted Engstrom)
What you need is an idea. Be brave enough to live creatively. ‘Since it doesn’t cost a dime to dream, you’ll never short-change yourself when you stretch your imagination.’ (Robert Schuller) A single idea – the sudden flash of any thoughts – may be worth a million dollars. Look at things not as they are but as they can be. Vision adds value to everything.
