Quote by Barbara Sher

Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren't. But you can't tell the difference when you have no real information. Fear can create even more imaginary obstacles than ignorance can. That's why the smallest step away from speculation and into reality can be an amazing relief. The Reality Solution means: Do it before you're ready.

Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren't. Bu

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that obstacles that only exist in our imaginations are perceived as impossible to overcome. However, real obstacles are conquerable, yet they can often appear daunting when we lack concrete information. Fear exacerbates the creation of fictional obstacles. Thus, taking even a small step towards reality is liberating. The concept of the Reality Solution is to take action before feeling fully prepared, as doing so can alleviate anxieties and reveal that many hindrances are illusory.

Stories were different, though: they came alive in the telling. Without a human voice to read them aloud, or a pair of wide eyes following them by flashlight beneath a blanket, they had no real existence in our world...They could take root in the imagination and transform the reader. Stories wanted to be read, David's mother would whisper. They needed it. It was the reason they forced themselves from their world into ours. They wanted us to give them life.
