Living Life by Design

There’s a great show on Netflix called “Amazing Interiors”. The show is about houses that look completely normal on the outside, but once you get on the inside, these houses are ridiculous! What’s fascinating to me about this show is how much creativity and focus a person can put toward something if they know what they want. Ingenuity is easy when you have a reason.

There’s no shortage of human ability or resources. There is a shortage of imagination to actually do something. It doesn’t matter how much knowledge you have if you lack imagination and courage to do something.

What do you want to do or accomplish?

What COULD you do?

What would be important or powerful to do?

In a recent interview, Kobe Bryant explained that the reason he was able to reach his level of success was because he was curious about what possible…he was imaginative.

You don’t become one of the best basketball players in history without effort and imagination. Kobe himself admitted that when he first started, he wasn’t good. His first season playing basketball, he didn’t score a single point. But his father instilled in him curiosity for what was possible. He helped Kobe develop an imagination that transcended what most people would tell him he could do.

According to Gold Medalist sprinter, Leroy Dixon, “Amateurs are the people who will tell you what you can’t do.”

If someone is telling you the limits of what you can pursue or strive for — they are projecting upon you their own limitations. They are amateurs and spectators.

Don’t listen to someone who doesn’t instill in you imagination for what is possible.

Have a great weekend…
