Just like Lady Gaga said, I live half way between fantasy and reality all the time. And I do. I'm very real, and very much into the real world. But I love to create things, I love to dream big and have the balls to think that I can create my dreams. As children, we are like that. We are full of dreams, full of ideas, full of creativity. Most children live half way between fantasy and reality. But somewhere down the line, we lose that...as we "grow up" and become too "realistic" and think that we have to fit in to the world, as it is now....instead of create something new for the world.

And all great people, the small few who really push human evolution forward...are great creators. They have the belief, that something different can be, than what has been in the past. Whether it be in politics, or science, or technology, or art...or any avenue of human life. They have a vision...that they can change how things are, instead of feeling like they are at effect to the world around them. And I think that's what separates truly great people, from ordinary people. It's the quality that the few men who make and change history, have.

We, ultimately, are creators. Everything we see around us...everything...is the creation of something, it first existed as an idea. Whether it be cars, to how buildings are designed, to trees, to the whole planet and everything on it, is one marvelous creation. Nothing has ever been made, without someone having the idea to create it. Especially the universe.

And I think this is where many scientists and other intellectuals lose the plot, by being too in their minds, too left brained...which looks objectively at how things are. They're only focused on how things are, and the mechanics behind the constructs...they don't understand that it first must've existed as an IDEA, that's why most scientists and so called intellectuals don't believe in God, because they need "evidence". In other words, they need something that is, that they can point at, and go, oh there's proof God created that.

And of course, that's why most artists...basically all of them, bar none...of course acknowledge Gods existence, because they understand that things exist as a creation of something. They understand imagination, and ideas...and creativity. And actually all great scientists, the truly great ones...are also artists. That's what Einstein said, all great scientists are also artists. And I'll add that all great artists, are also scientists, in many ways.

There has to be a balance...of...realism and idealism. Intellectualism and artistry. Reality..and fantasy. Mind and heart. Self and non-self. But I think, truly....in fact I know so...that we are first and foremost creators. We are first and foremost, heart. We are first and foremost, artists. We are first and foremost OURSELVES. The "reality" of things, outside ourselves, as great as it is, is ultimately an illusion. Life is creative in nature, life is a creation. And all great beings, are first and foremost, great creators.

So, let's tap in to our inner creator. It's now so much about finding out who we are...it's more about creating what we WANT TO BE. Because that is who we are....we are creators. Co-creators with God, creating our lives and this human story, day by day.

So what do you want to create in your life? What are your dreams? If you could be anything you wanted to be, what would you be? I think it's time to start thinking about this, because very soon, we're going to be in a position where we can really create what we want to create! So..dare to dream...dare to create it...and dare to fail.
