Yes. You read the title right. Today we are going to push your head back up into the clouds like it used to be.

You may have heard the exact phrase while growing up, “get your head out of the clouds,” or something like it. What does it mean? It means that you need to stop day dreaming and get to work. Buy why, you ask? Well, you parents or teachers were only looking out for you when they said it, but it usually doesn’t do any good to reinforce the belief. Most people around you stopped dreaming along time ago. They found that it was easier to roll through life on autopilot. Go or don’t go to college. Get a job. Then put your head down in a submissive manner and set engines to medium speed. So it’s no surprise that there were so many teachers (the bad ones) who told you this. A dreamer today is rare. You would have had to have survived this onslaught of adversity and come out shining to still possess this quality.

But don’t fret. I can help you again float back up into that cloud filled sky of creativity, intrigue, growth, inspiration, etc… All you have to do is open your mind.

The only thing you have to do to get your mind back in this mindset is to focus on experiencing life in your own unique way, and stop following a path. Stop listening to what you friends or neighbors are doing and follow your heart. Do you like to write? - Then write. Don’t let that voice in the back of your head tell you it is too difficult or not worth your time. Express yourself in anyway that you feel fit.

Here are some quotes to set your mind on fire:

Michael Korda

No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to flee and fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.

Seneca

What you want to do, and what you can do, is limited only by what you can dream.
