Did you know? You have a garden in your mind. It’s possible to plant ideas like seeds and watch them grow as you water them everyday. Fred Rogers, creator, showrunner, and host of the preschool television series Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, puts it more beautifully:
You can grow ideas in your mind. You can think about things and make believe things and that’s like growing something of your own.

Ideas, like plants, can be dormant in certain seasons. They’re waiting to be activated.
