Logic And Magic. Two Opposite Sides.
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
Have you ever indeed questioned the limits of logic? The answer is often a yes. We are so used to seeking logic in everything that we rarely consider its limitations.
But is this dependence on logic always beneficial for our growth and understanding?
“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
- Albert Einstein
When launching a new project, your instinct is to approach it with logic. You defaulted to this mode of thinking, often without even realizing it.
It’s because we are taught to learn that way. But then, you have to believe in magic instead of logic.
No one teaches children about magic. For everyone, magic is impossible and only a way to entertain people. You go to see magician shows and come back home after enjoying it.

These instances are simply cases where we haven’t yet discovered the reasoning behind them. And that’s a valid point. But what if, just for a moment, we allowed ourselves to believe in the possibility of magic?
Is it logical to fly in the air like birds? But the Wright brothers go beyond logic and believe in magic. They know it is possible. But there is no logic in it.
Similarly, if we looked 30 years ago, no one believed that we could talk to a person in real-time who was sitting in another part of the world. Today, we have mobiles.
If you dare to believe in yourself, you will create magic. Life is full of wonders waiting for you to discover. You have to believe in yourself and have the courage to explore beyond the boundaries of logic.
“Logic is like the sword — those who appeal to it shall perish by it.”
― Samuel Butler
You see, there are things in this world that have no explanation. There is no logic in those things. But you still believe in them. Why? Because you don’t have answers to them.
If you believe in God, then you also believe in magic. You will have fewer options if you put logic in front of you every time. But what does it mean to ‘go beyond logic ‘?
It means opening your mind to possibilities that may not seem logical initially but could lead to incredible discoveries or experiences.
My mentor always says that magic happens. You never know when it will happen. But they do happen.
“Magic’s just science that we don’t understand yet.”
― Arthur C. Clarke
Don’t let logic’s limitations hold you back. Start embracing the possibility of magic in your life.
As you begin to believe, you will witness the extraordinary unfold in your life, empowering you to achieve beyond what you thought was possible.
