Birthing NEW Ideas
Humour me a little longer with a continuation of the previous weeks’ thoughts…..
“I am no greater than the thoughts I think”. How EFFECTIVE are we in our BUSY modern way of life? Have we exchanged Effectiveness for Busy-ness? I very seldom take the time to make a phone call just to say ‘Hi’. Luckily I have a brother who does…. Bless you Friedoline! Well, in part it is also cost related…. In essence it’s really about taking the TIME. As the saying goes – giving your time is the most precious gift you have.
As we run from A to B and back again – do we still have time to be creative? I am not talking about painting a still-life on canvass. I mean: do you still pay attention to your creative thoughts? Our enthusiasm and joy for living will diminish without creativity. We need to stay fresh and current, we need to grow and invent. It can be the same job, the same life, the same relationships…. with a fresh approach…. a little inspiration!
Bishop TD James uses the analogy of being pregnant. We are all pregnant with ideas already! It is how we have been created! We all have many little seeds of creativity popping up all the time. Think about the most successful business you know. It started as an IDEA, a thought! The success is not the person who had the thought, nor the building that houses the business, not even the product! The success is the initial THOUGHT, the initial seed, the initial idea. The nurturing and cultivating of that seed results in the reward of the fruit or the flower.
Ideas are the birthing place for opportunity, but it does require a brave heart to start off with. It requires self-belief and self-worth! It requires your attention, nurturing and cultivating. It requires perseverance and Trust and Faith! How many ideas have you allowed to be born?
Your Ideas spring from your inner most being, your soul. As humans, we long to be creative, each in our own unique way. It is what makes us feel truly alive!
