Imagination is the primary gift of human consciousness.
Ken Robinson
Image
Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value - more often than not, comes about through the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things
Ken Robinson

I believe this passionately: that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out if it.

Finding the medium that excites your imagination, that you love to play with and work in, is an important step to freeing your creative energies.

Image
Being in your element is not only about aptitude, it's about passion: it is about loving what you do...tapping into your natural energy and your most authentic self.

Some dreams truly are 'impossible dreams.' However, many aren't. Knowing the difference is often one of the first steps to finding your element, because if you can see the chances of making a dream come true, you can also likely see the necessary next steps you need to take toward achieving it.

Never underestimate the vital importance of finding early in life the work that for you is play.
Ken Robinson
Image
Children are wonderfully confident in their own imaginations. Most of us lose this confidence as we grow up.
Ken Robinson
Image
It is difficult to feel accomplished when you're not accomplishing something that matters to you. Doing something 'for your own good' is rarely for your own good if it causes you to be less than who you really are.
Ken Robinson
Image
We live in worlds that we have forged and composed. It's much more true than any of the species that you see. I mean, it seems to me that one of the most distinctive features of human intelligence is the capacity to imagine, to project out of our own immediate circumstances and to bring to mind things that aren't present here and now.

Image
Helping people to connect with their personal creative capacities is the surest way to release the best they have to offer.
Ken Robinson
Image
Transforming education is not easy but the price of failure is more than we can afford, while the benefits of success are more than we can imagine.
Ken Robinson
Image
Teaching is a creative profession, not a delivery system. Great teachers do [pass on information], but what great teachers also do is mentor, stimulate, provoke, engage.
Ken Robinson
Image
One way of opening ourselves up to new opportunities is to make conscious efforts to look differently at our ordinary situations. Doing so allows a person to see the world as one rife with possibility and to take advantage of some of those possibilities if they seem worth pursuing.

Everyday, everywhere our children spread their dreams beneath our feet and we should tread softly.
