Summary

This quote, often attributed to economist John Maynard Keynes, conveys the inherent challenge of embracing new perspectives and ideas. It suggests that the struggle does not primarily revolve around generating innovative concepts, but rather lies in breaking free from conventional or entrenched beliefs. It highlights the human tendency to cling to familiar and ingrained notions, making it difficult to adopt fresh viewpoints or approaches. Overcoming this barrier requires open-mindedness, willingness to challenge traditional thinking, and a conscious effort to free oneself from old paradigms in order to embrace new possibilities.

Walking uplifts the spirit. Breathe out the poisons of tension, stress, and worry; breathe in the power of God. Send forth little silent prayers of goodwill toward those you meet. Walk with a sense of being a part of a vast universe. Consider the thousands of miles of earth beneath your feet; think of the limitless expanse of space above your head. Walk in awe, wonder, and humility. Walk at all times of day. In the early morning when the world is just waking up. Late at night under the stars. Along a busy city street at noontime.
