Situations that trick the “what is realistic” thinking help to overcome old beliefs that limit
passionate action. By asking questions which envision that assumed everyday
pressures do not exist can open up passionate and wholehearted envisioning and
innovation. Questions can be of any kind, depending on the most common pressures
your target group is facing, like “If you won in the lottery, what would you use your
money for?” or “What is your wildest idea?”. More authentic and personalised visions
may show up that have resonance with the deeper longings and aspirations of the
people.
Examples:
“What is  at the moment  your wildest idea?”
“What would you do in life if you did not need any money?”
“What would you do if the next project you started was guaranteed to succeed?”

People are trained to think and be “realistic”. What is “realistic”, though, is defined by
the mainstream paradigm that blocks individual potential, passionate and
transformative action. People tend to not even think into the direction of their
aspirations and desires, because the mainstream has declared it as unrealistic. And
“unrealistic” people are not generally viewed in a positive manner. This way, people
don’t even get into contact with a more meaningful and fulfilling life and occupation.
