Dreaming…why stop?
I heard an interesting sermon a couple weeks back. It was about dreaming and growing. This has been something that i have been meditating about for a few weeks now with the assistance of Erwin McManus’ sermons.
Why is it that as we grow up we stop dreaming, we stop wanting to discover and essentially, we stop growing. The very thing that God wants us to continue doing is the one thing we stop. Oddly enough as i watch movies with my daughter, I have noticed a major theme in all these cartoons, so simple, yet so relevant. The core message of them all is “Never stop dreaming and believing”. As kids, we believe that we can do anything, that we can be anything and that NOTHING can stop us or hold us back from achieving our dreams. As we grow up, our parents and teachers and other adults tell us to stop believing, to be more realistic. Why do we simply sit down and accept this as the norm, as the “way it is”. God created us to believe and to dream. As of recent, i have been trying to figure out how to get myself back to the core of things. I have to be careful to NOT lose my creativity.
This has been my focus as of recent. I have been trying to figure out how to get back to my creative core. See, i have always been good at the process. My old boss said that he could give me a project and a final vision and i could figure out the process of how to get there with little to no direction. I can get a project and see its process in my head before i even begin filming it. While i am filming i can see the editing timeline in my head before i even start. The place I lack the most in is the initial idea, the initial creativity. so, how can i get to that point? That is the question. More to come as things develop.
