There can be a whole world out there you're missing because you're focused in your own peculiar sort of way.
In this case, I was creating magic where there was none, which feels better than
opposite, but denial is still denial, and reality-testing requires
ability to see
whole picture. Nearly any problem we consider unsurmountable appears that way because we’re seeing only

My hairdresser, who ought to be a coach always spins me around in
chair at some point and says, "Here. Get another point of view."
POINT OF VIEW. Creativity allows you to get lots of points of view and how your world will expand!
When you develop your creativity you have special powers. When you look at
surface of a problem, or person, or situation, you will know that there might be something else to look at there. The first step is to entertain that possibility.
If you don’t know you’re IN a box, how can you leap OUT of it?
