Have you heard of Mickey Mouse?

Chances are that if you’ve lived almost anywhere in the world during the past 50 years that you’re familiar with Mickey or have at least heard about Disney.

I’m a huge fan of Disney, to the point that I even wear a Mickey Mouse watch.

I wear it because it’s a constant reminder of what one man created with just a pencil and paper, the simplest of tools.

In today’s time of endless productivity tools and technology people often get caught up in either what tool to use or what they need in order to pursue their dreams.

I implore you not to get caught in this trap.

In fact I challenge you to start wherever you are.

If you’re reading this on your phone then use the notes app. If you’re at a desk then grab the first writing instrument and any, I repeat any piece of paper you can write on and start dreaming.

Just let your mind and hand work together without applying  judgement or any thinking that will slow them down.

Almost everything you see around you that is not created by nature probably came to life when the idea was first expressed on paper.

This exercise is not for you to create the next Disney. It is for you to allow yourself to imagine and then write out what it would look like to create your own wonderland.

P.S. Thanks for reading! If you like this and want to support it, forward it to a friend.
