As I watched “Where The Wild Things Are” a few days ago, I began thinking about reading the book to my children when they were small. They truly loved that particular book and wanted to hear the story almost every day. I believe that the reason my children enjoyed the story is that it allowed them to use their imaginations to the fullest! Even after reading the book countless times it was and will always be one of my favorite childrens’ books.

But why is it that when our children get older they seem to lose a part of those fabulous imaginations? Yes reality is what we live each day. Our imaginations are what fuels us all to create and innovate. If entrepreneurs, novelists, poets, etc., did not take full advantage of their imaginations, we would not have much of the technology and great writings of our time. Let’s not forget that the imagination is a part of us that we need to stay sane in a sometimes insane world.
