The creative is the place where no one else
has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into
the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be
wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.

New insights fail to get put into practice
because they conflict with deeply held internal images of how the world
works ... images that limit us to familiar ways of
thinking
and acting. That is why the discipline of managing mental
models – surfacing, testing, and improving our internal pictures of how
the world works – promises to be a major breakthrough for
learning organizations.

Peter Senge

A painter told me that nobody could draw a
tree without in some sort becoming a tree; or draw a child by studying
the outlines of its form merely . . . but by watching for a time his
motions and plays, the painter enters into his nature and can then draw
him at every attitude . . .
|
Ralph Waldo Emerson |
Good ideas are not adopted automatically.
