"I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of imagination."
English Poet
1795 - 1821
One of the most powerful forces available to creative leaders is their imagination. Your imagination will open up new worlds and provide you answers to many of the challenges you face in your creative work. You must learn to cultivate your imagination. You must nurture it and feed it. Imagination grows through exposure to various ideas and various experiences.
Steve Jobs, after dropping out of college, audited a course on calligraphy because he was interested in the subject. What he learned in that single course gave rise more than a decade later to the multiple fonts available on the Mac computer. And since Windows adopted much of its style and look from Mac, the computer world was given an array of fonts from which to choose. How much different life would have been if computer users could not change fonts.
What are you doing to expand your imagination? What ideas are you exposing yourself to? How are you growing your imagination. If you don't use it, you may lose it. Feed your imagination today.
