Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. - Albert Einstein
Generate curiosity: the first thing needed is curiosity. Curiosity stems from creativity. Curiosity and creativity are linked by a two-way arrow. The process for developing either can go in both directions. You can use your curiosity, which is actually
easier to form, to develop creativity. This can most easily be done by asking probing questions. If used appropriately Questions open up things that
ordinarily will remain closed. Some questioning tips are:
Tip no. 1: Ask yourself about changes. E.g. What would taste better if it were
less sweet? How can I make it sweeter? Tip no. 2: Ask yourself questions with
lots of answers. E.g.
What are some of the uses of air?
Think deep: Creativity never occurs in the shallow
regions of the mind but rather in its deep recesses. Treasure is never found floating on the
surface of ocean waters but rather deep down at the bottom of it where only the
resilient get to.
Form a picture of what you want: You must see it in your mind’s eye.
Anything can be seen in the mind. Very few people know that. You see, you have
two pairs of eyes. The first is the outward eye, which is visible to everyone. Your
outward eye sees only the things that are in the physical environment. The
inner pair sees beyond. It sees what cannot be seen from the physical
environment. Both pairs work together in feeding your mind with information.
The outer eyes feed your mind with information that has defined boundaries. However,
this is not so with the inner pair. The inner pair feeds your mind with
boundless information. With your inner eyes, sight has no boundaries unless the
ones you map out for it. You can create the picture of anything you desire to see or have physically.
Do not let your environment restrict
you: have a mindset that what you see is never what you get. Anything can become anything. A
boulder can be a statue, a black stone can be coal, a tree can be paper, that
problem you are looking at can be a business. Do not despise all seemingly worthless things. They are the
parents of all worthwhile things.
