Continuous Inspiration

"It just takes one idea to live like a king for the rest of your life."
- Ross Perot

The corollary to this is that you will have to try many ideas in order to find that one. Nurture your creativity by acting on your ideas. Trying new things and daring to experiment with our time and talents makes us more multi-dimensional and more alive. Not every idea you act on will be the one that may bring you prosperity, but all the ideas you bring to life will bring you something in return. Perhaps a new idea will bring you into contact with new people, it may bring you increased understanding and wisdom, it may help you to see things from a different angle, or it might just be fun. Don't dismiss your ideas as foolishness. I'm sure the idea of men flying through the skies on birdlike wings seemed very foolish at first.

Food for Thought: With all the distractions of life, how often are you simply still in order to allow your mind to wander?

Proactive Inspiration Challenge: Start a notebook, and in the notebook write down your ideas as they come to you. Don't censor them or try to determine which are "good" or "valuable"...just write them down. Once a week, read through the ideas and pick one to act on.

I highly recommend the book, "Book of Bright Ideas" by Sandra Kring. It is one of my very favorite and is a very amusing take on the idea of keeping a journal.
