something you can use

The reason I am writing today is to give anyone who wants it something you can use. In creative group we work on thinking in new ways and developing our capacity to be aware of a good idea when we get it.

Thousands of thoughts pass through our minds all day long. Thousands upon thousands. If there is an idea that comes back again and again then that is something we need to work on or act on . There are only two things to do with every idea. Ignore it or do it. Every idea is either a door or a window.

If it is a window you can be objective and consider what else you know. It is safe to look out a window.

The door is another matter. It is terrifying to go through a door because you dont know what is on the other side and we are all scared of pain.

When dealing with creativity doors are all over the place waiting to be opened.

One trick that you can use to go through doors that you are afraid to go through, is to do one small step to opening the door. One actual gentle shove . That will strengthen you to go a little further. Like a chick pecking out of its shell. each little peck makes him stronger and stronger and develops his muscles to go on and push some more.

Momentum will be working for you if you just start a little bit.
