Word that matter.
You either write them or you don’t. But it’s not the words that are special, it’s the ideas you’re communicating with the words. That’s where the energy is.
Do you have BIG IDEAS? Ideas that inspire, empower, guide, direct, clarify, lead, explain?
As the slop grows, the value of these kinds of ideas multiplies.
If you’re looking for leverage in your business, upgrade your ideas.
One way to do it is to stop listening to other people telling you what to think and to start thinking for yourself.
You’re qualified to do that. And the more you do it, the better you get at it.
But the path is often counterintuitive. In my experience, the best way to get new ideas is to stop thinking!
That sounds odd, but it works.
BIG IDEAS don’t come from your conscious mind, they come from what your conscious mind is connected to, what it is capable of receiving. When you STOP thinking, you can tune into that quiet and sense what is beyond it. As you foster the strength of this connection, BIG IDEAS arrive without you chasing them.
I understand this sounds rather cosmic. But that’s only because we understand so little about what’s really going on down here. I certainly don’t know. I just wake up and write to you each day, trying to be helpful, and make up the rest of it as I go.
I’ve only been “making it up” for the past 26 years, but it seems to work well enough.
In an age where “thinking” is being sold to the herd as old fashioned, understand that’s not truth, that’s marketing.
Who benefits when humanity abdicates its ability/responsibility/opportunity to think? It certainly won’t be you.
Don’t get caught up in the lie, think for yourself, separate from the herd, go your own way.
That’s the only path where you discover what you’re actually here to do.
