This Is Your Inspirational Reminder to Believe in Yourself and Your Ideas
Creativity starts with the belief that you can do it!

Remember when you were younger and you used to sit on the rug in your living room and pretend you were flying on a magic carpet? Or, when you and your friend competed to see who could jump the highest off the swings? See, it wasn’t so scary then.

As adults, we forget how easy things can be if we just believe we can do it. In life, and business, it’s important to channel the imagination we had as kids to stay positive and driven as adults.

Like the title of this video says: Creativity starts from a belief. It’s not that we’ve lost that spark, it’s that we’ve lost hope and conviction in our own (awesome) ideas.

Get inspired again by letting this video remind you of who you used to be—and still are!
