Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese

This does not need to exist and it didn’t at one point! More than likely a person at a cream cheese factory was sipping their pumpkin spice latte and voila! Pumpkin spiced cream cheese! For someone out there, pumpkin spice cream cheese is their idea of heaven. Personally, I’ll pass! It’s not an act of genius. But it represents the opportunity that we all have, simple synthesis! Putting two old ideas together in order to create something new. We’re all capable of this type of thinking but often get bogged down in what is rather than what could be.

People don’t want to be stuck! The ability imagine a different future than the present that exists is difficult for most. It takes imagination and optimism! Those are traits of children and can lead to disappointment. So it’s better to trudge through a familiar swamp than look for higher ground. The gamble is just too much. Plain cream cheese will do!

Only you can make the choice to combine yourself with something new. That synthesis will require you to see something different in your mind’s eye. It doesn’t have to be pumpkin spice cream cheese. That doesn’t sound appetizing to me but neither does a future that matches a present that you don’t like.

Mix it up!
