What a wonderful and inspiring article.
It reminded me of something that happened back in 1998.
My husband was asked to teach a group of unemployed artists to make homepages. They hated the idea. But since they received social aid as unemployed, they didn't have much choice.
They were supposed to use Microsoft's homepage builder (I've forgotten the name), but instead of showing them how to use it, the menues and its features, he told them to make a drawing of how they wanted their homepage to look.
Then they started building it, based on their drawings.
While they drew their homepages, they had no idea of whether it would be possible to make it like that or not. They had no idea of how the program worked, its limitation or features.
Those became some of the most creative and beautiful homepages I'd ever seen. Because they didn't limit themselves with knowledge about what was possible. They created. Then they made it possible.
I am happy you enjoyed the post 💙
Thank you for sharing your story! 😄 That was a wonderful example of what I was talking about. No doubt your husband planted some seeds in the minds of those people that day about what's possible when you don't limit yourself.
I hope that he is still teaching in some capacity because he obviously has a gift!
To me, this is what true inspiration is all about! Doing something so profound that 20 years later it is still impacting lives.... WOW! Just Amazing! Something to strive for, for sure!
I see that you are a fellow animal lover, I will be following you for sure! 😊 💙 🌻
