Pushing Boundaries: The Courage to Create from Imagination

Turning 40, I thought I’d have it all figured out by now—wisdom, answers, strategies that worked. I imagined I’d be grounded, with my views clear and my perspectives sharp. Yet, what I’ve discovered feels almost like the opposite: instead of arriving at certainty, I feel more like a beginner, a student of life.
It’s strange. I expected a sense of completeness, but instead, I feel as though I’ve stepped into a new world. A world where everything is unfamiliar, and there are no set rules or boundaries. I’ve let go of the notion that I had everything "figured out." I now live with more questions than answers, more curiosity than judgment.
At times, I feel like a newborn, not quite understanding the language of the universe, but deeply connected to the idea that something greater is unfolding around me. It’s as though I’ve arrived on a new planet, one with its own laws of physics, and I’m slowly learning how to navigate it. Through the eyes of a child, the world becomes boundless—nothing is fixed. It’s a place where possibilities are endless, where trust and surrender seem to be the only true currencies.
Is this what freedom tastes like?
I have moments where I wonder if stepping into this unknown is what it means to trust the flow of life. My rational mind often pulls me back to the material world—measuring success in numbers, striving for outcomes that can be quantified. Yet, when I listen closely, I know there’s more to life than this. My inner world is made of fantastical realms, gardens that smell like Eden, and light-speed journeys across the universe. Within this boundless space, I feel limitless.
And then, I return to this human form—this body, these senses—and the contrast is striking. Am I confined? Or is this the very gift of existence? To be able to touch, to smell, to move, to feel? Perhaps our true gift lies in experiencing life through this physical vessel, in all its wonder and limitation.
This is what I’m learning as I step into this new chapter—pushing beyond what’s comfortable, releasing the need for certainty, and creating from the wildest reaches of imagination. The more I let go, the more life seems to open up. And in that space, there’s a freedom I never knew existed.
