If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.
The human spirit will not invest itself in a compromise.
Reality is an acquired taste.
You cannot create what you want by moving away from what you don’t want.
The only time you know for sure whether creating a result is possible or not is when you have done it. All other thoughts on the matter are simply speculation.
Creating is no problem – problem solving is not creating.
You want what you want, whether or not you think you can have it.
If you stop your creative process every time you think you need to cheer yourself up, or rid yourself of emotional conflicts, your life will be over before you can create anything of any real significance.
Without making the fundamental choice to be the predominant creative force in your life, no matter what you do to attempt to benefit yourself or enhance your life, you will merely be finding more sophisticated ways of responding to circumstances.
Too many young people are being taught to give up their dreams before they have any experience attempting to pursue them.
Dreamers only dream, but creators bring their dreams into reality.
At first, I am giving energy to the creation, but later the creation seems to be giving energy to me.
Creators love creations before they exist.
In business, what distinguishes leaders from laggards and greatness from mediocrity is the ability to uniquely imagine what could be.
It is not common for people to think of their own lives as creations. You are not encouraged to have with your own life the kind of relationship a creator has with his or her vision. But your life can be a creation.
Efforts to reform are often met with resistance because the system always tries to fall back to the status quo and what is comfortable.
The historic period in which we live is a period of reawakening to a commitment of higher values, a reawakening of individual purpose, and a reawakening of the longing to fulfill that purpose in life.
One of the most important results you can bring into the world is the you that you really want to be.
In the absence of a great dream, pettiness prevails.
It’s not what the vision is, it’s what the vision does.
Creators start at the end. First they have an idea of what they want to create. Sometimes this is idea is general, and sometimes it is specific. Before you can create what you want you want to create, you must know what you are after, what you want to bring into being.
