“Stop and daydream once in a while. You need to let your imagination roam and give it a chance to breathe. It’s never too late for you to stop thinking creatively.

Have a constant flow of new, exciting, powerful ideas on which you act immediately. What you need is an idea. Be brave enough to live creatively.” – John Mason, Let Go of Whatever Holds You Back
