Have you ever noticed how people just hate to be wrong? It’s interesting to me that some people get something in their mind as “the absolute truth” about one thing or another in life and they just hate it when people challenge them on it.

When you choose to dream it is important to give yourself permission to go beyond other people’s Model of the World. Just because someone else thinks it can’t be done doesn’t mean you can’t do it. There was an old Zen proverb that said: The wise man said it couldn’t be done…and the fool came along and did it.

In that case, I like to play the fool. I like it when I accidentally mess with other people’s model of the world — I don’t make it a rule (although it is fun sometimes to do it with intention … but that’s something for NLPDarkArts.com) in the sense that I need people to say I can’t do something before I get the motivation to prove them wrong and do it. No, I think it’s best to just go do what you dream of doing and simple leave the limitations to others …
