The trouble is if we take no new steps to try a new challenge, our comfort zone doesn't seem just to stay still, but retract.

Neurogenesis continues throughout life and we have the capacity to establish new neural pathways and strengthen existing ones.

Sometimes an artist's vision may get blurred when subjected to a committee because an artwork is usually an expression of something unconscious that is better left in the realm of one person's unconscious if it is to speak to another person's unconscious.

Meditation is focused attention and the more we practise focusing our brains the more connections we build up.

Our brains do not have to be fixed, they can be plastic.

In order to stretch ourselves we do need to experience the vulnerability of not knowing the outcome.

If you start from a position of I'm a no-hoper, in a paradoxical kind of way you are not risking being vulnerable.
