"I never felt comfortable with myself, because I was never part of the majority. I always felt awkward and shy and on the outside of the momentum of my friends' lives... I had to essentially get over my fear of running through the world naked and say, 'take me or leave me.' "
Steven Spielberg
I can SO relate to Mr. Spielberg in what he says there. The only difference being that he has grabbed hold of his fears & thoughts of inadequacy & he's embraced them & used them. I'm still working on it. What a challenge.
He also said, "I dream for a living."
I don't know what it is... maybe because my brain has rested, but in the morning ... I get up & I'm all over the place. My brain is going 100 MPH -- imagining situations, random thoughts -- craziness all of it. If you were to see me 1st thing in the morning, you'd know. One-woman conversations, & usually laughing out loud at myself. But, it's definitely the time of day that I get the most done.... well, once I settle down & stop talking to myself. The AM is when I write my best cards.
I remember my parents telling me that my teachers were 'concerned' because I was not paying attention enough in class. They called it 'daydreaming'.
Parents: Don't let your children's teachers punish your kid for daydreaming. It's a sign of creativity. They can't stop it & even if they wanted to, they shouldn't. It's a good thing.
