Can You Imagine Bringing Home the Gold?

Have you heard the examples of how we can now accomplish things we previously believed were impossible?  On May 6, 1954, Roger Bannister set the world record for breaking the four minute mile (3 minutes, 59.4 seconds). It was incredible at the time. The Olympics make us all ponder striving for greatness. However, our minds have to accept new concepts before they can become reality.

The dreamers and creative people of the world help us embrace new ideas. Do you enjoy the concept cars at the auto show or the work of students trying to predict new generations of products? Some people follow the premise "seeing is believing", but we have to conceive it in a non-tangible form first.

There are always risk-takers who are willing and able to expand the limits of what we used to believe was possible.  When our patterns are set by repetition, it can become harder to think differently. People who are "stuck in their heads" may have a difficult time visualizing new concepts. Visualizing is a skill that can be developed. This is when it's important to let go and have no expectations other than taking some time to dream.

As you get older and your responsibilities increase, do you give up on your dreams? We all need to have new hopes and dreams to help us feel vibrant and alive. The key is to be content with our current situation while hoping for more.
