Have you watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?
I liked this movie because Walter’s reality became far more beautiful than his imagination.
Could he have imagined that he would run for so long, ride a skateboard with a volcano behind him, fall into the ocean where sharks live, or become the last photograph on a magazine cover?
Probably not.
Imagination is limited to what we already know.
Reality isn’t.
That’s why, sometimes, reality turns out to be more beautiful than imagination.
Reality has no choice but to be more beautiful than imagination.
My imagination is made only of what already exists in my head.
If someone asked me to imagine the most amazing car,
I would probably combine
the best features I know,
the most beautiful colors I’ve seen,
and the shapes I already find cool.
But reality is different.
In reality, things I never imagined appear.
If I move, if I step outside my head,
I might see something I never imagined.
World,
show me something I never imagined.
