Imagine

"Live out of your imagination, not your history."
- Stephen R. Covey


I haven't spent enough time with this quote to know yet whether I fully endorse it or not. It rings true for me, however, as with most things, however, I proceed with caution. If one learns from and surveys their past and then moves forward with lessons learned, then I endorse that. I do not like the connotation that this quote could have for one who lives blindly, without reflection, or learning. A continual repeating of sorts, true insanity, doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I like to think of this quote as believing/ knowing that anything is possible... but not if we can't learn from and move beyond our pasts, respectively.
