Creativity and Dreams

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

-Gloria Steinem

Do you ever notice that your most creative ideas come when you get out of your own way? Creativity can bring an amazing rush of self knowing but often self knowing stops creativity! Hmmm…interesting! When we are too caught up in ourselves we cannot find ourselves! Now there is something to ponder!

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.”
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Hi Me Club,

One of our fabulous ME Club Members, Dana, posted this quote on the group. I wanted to share this with you in case you did not see it.

Eleanor Roosevelt was a wealth of knowledge and grace and has inspired women for decades. What an amazing thought are the words..”to look fear in the face”. Sometimes we see the enemy as outside of ourselves. This reminds us that sometimes our “enemy” to gaining strength, courage and confidence, is our own thinking. When you look fear in the face and see… your own face…. maybe you can SMILE…take away the fear and empower yourself to take action. Then you will “do the thing which you think you cannot do.” What a lovely thought! Thank you Dana for sharing it!
