Welcome back to Make a Difference

A real challenge to creativity and implementation is the pace of today's society. Increasing challenges and demands are lengthening our workdays. Demands from family are ever present. Where does one find time to schedule in to allow their imagination to run and dream?

Henry David Thoreau states that“The world is but a canvas to the imagination.” In today's world, we have. a really large canvas with all sorts of information at our finger tips on demand.

As cool as the connivance of instant gratification can be, it also serves as a major distraction. Seriously, who has not started look at something on the net and wondered how it became after midnight just that quick.

Allowing your mind to wander is not time wasted as many would believe if you have scheduled that time for it in the 1st place. I make it a point to allow myself to meditate and also allow my mind to wander before I get out of bed in the morning. This is planned for and scheduled to not interfere with my day. I can tell you that this is some of the most valuable time of the day. The wandering time can allow your brain to process, consider and in some cases create new thoughts that can be very valuable to my self improvement.

Do you allow time for your for thoughts to wander and create your next mental masterpiece? If you are, share what your recent canvas may include in our speakpipe message system. I would love to hear from you.
