Or a person who goes to med school because his entire family is full of doctors might find out that what he really wants to be is an artist instead."

"I believe in the goodness of imagination."

Imagination

"The awakening passed from simple recognition of my need for God at the center of my life, to a depth where the will is stirred And that is a deeper place by far. That is the place of response, of unifying one's heart, mind, soul and feet around a decision."

Creativity
