ARE YOU DELETING YOUR DREAMS AND LETTING GOOD IDEAS DIE?

(These thoughts are added to three times a week and cover a multitude of different approaches and insights)

Along about 2000 BC someone said “If it’s so good to drink why don’t we freeze it and I’ll bet it will be better.”

By such creativity ancient man became happier because had had just invented ice cream. Along about the same time someone had what others thought was a half baked idea. He ignored them and bread was born. Not to be outdone, another innovator took meat that had been around for a lot longer and made the first sandwich. It’s never too early or too late to dream a new dream and follow through on it. To not allow yourself to be pressured by peers to just do everything the same old same old way when you have just come up with something better.

Your new insight may be simple. It may be profound. It may be just an improvement on something someone else did (Ben Franklin was great for doing that) But give yourself the gift of believing in better tomorrows. Of being willing to make changes or even just one change. Of not being afraid to experiment. To go for the gusto with a grin on your face rather than a tremor in your voice.

Be creative when you play, “Yes, I am an old dog but I can teach myself new tricks.” Be creative in your marriage. Jump start the marital battery with something NEW ON YOUR THRESHOLD. Be creative when it comes to work.

Like the company that was stagnating in building it’s business and improving profit. What did they do? They stopped giving the salesman 10% of new client sales and began to give them 100%. This motivated the salesman to work harder at getting new clients and everyone was better off.

Extend yourself. Wondrous things will happen. Yes, innovation can be scary. Doing anything differently is always harder. But consider that it makes life more exciting to make yourself a new improved mental, emotional, physical, spiritual or emotional proposal.
