Create The Future, Don't Re-create the Past

The way kids think it so amazing! Their ability to dream, to imagine, to create - - it's just amazing. Sometimes I catch myself laughing or brushing it off as silly, but it really is amazing. And somewhere along the way, we all do that. We try to NOT stick out, and NOT imagine, and NOT create. We want to fit in, and in the process, we lose our imagination. What's bad about this is that our ability to imagine and dream is what brings color to life! It's what brings meaning to every-day moments that otherwise go by unnoticed.

Too often we stop living our lives out of imagination and start living our lives out of memory! We become robotic! We go through the motions. And instead of creating a FUTURE for our kids, we just end up re-creating the PAST.

I want to give my kids a future! I want them to chase dreams! I want them to live out of imagination! But I am realizing that I have to do it myself first!
