Like his paintings, a confusing thought, but once you think about it for a minute, it makes sense. "I am always doing things I can't do, that's how I get to do them." --- Pablo Picasso
Some great thoughts about creative ideas and vision, and the importance of putting them in action to really make a difference (via Pastor Steven Furtick):
"Being a visionary or receiving a vision isn’t defined simply by what you can think of.
Visions don’t come to life in daydreams but in sweatshops.
Being a visionary has to do with what you can bring to life.
An idea without implementation isn’t creation.
It’s imagination.
By definition, being creative requires that you create something.
True creative people don’t just dream it-they do it…or oversee the strategy to get it done.
True creativity results in a product. Not just an idea.
We’ve all met people who shy away from the hard work of action steps because they “don’t do the details”. They’re “more into the creative side of things”. But as far as I can tell, the Chief Creator didn’t just think about light, stars, and human life…the proof of His creativity is the tangible detailed expression of His vision.
What will you create today?
Don’t settle for conceptualization. Bring it into existence."
