Brainstorm Your Way To Success.

 

Brainstorm your way to success.

To brainstorm, is to come up with new and inventive ideas, to the issues which crop up in life. New inventions are often thought up, during brainstorming sessions and it’s good to have other people sit at the table, throwing in their ideas.

No idea is a bad idea. Just let the ideas flow and choose the one that’s the best fit, for the concern you’re trying to deal with. If you feel you don’t have time for a brainstorming session, snatch the time when you’re engaged in other activities, which don’t require a lot of thought, such as in the shower, or walking the dog. 

Sometimes we can have a boring job, one that’s done automatically and by rote. While at this boring and mundane job, perhaps we could try using our time to brainstorm ideas, for wealth creation, healthier living, improved relationships, new and better positions in life, coming up with new and exciting ideas.

Mostly our life comes down to 7 areas. I like to call these the “7 F’s.” Faith, family, fitness, finances, friends, fun and function (employment). Each of these areas can all be improved upon and some need more work than others. Some need way more work and each area is at a different level, for different people. 

If your job is pretty mundane and mindless; i.e., doesn’t take a lot thought to do, make use of your mind. If you work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, that’s 40 hours of automatic action. That’s 40 hours every week, you could be using the mind more effectively, to think up new ways to improve your life. 

Some jobs require using the mind a lot; accountants, lawyers, areas of interaction with others and the like. There are jobs though, like dishwashing, or lawnmowing, which don’t take a lot of thought. You can put this kind of job to best use, by making best use of this time, while you’re at it.

Let’s face it, we all have areas in life we could improve upon. If we begin to make the best use of our time, when the mind isn’t engaged in other activities, our life can be improved enormously. To do this, we need to be asking the right questions. 

It’s no use worrying about why we don’t have any money. Instead, ask yourself how can you get more money. Or, what can I do today, to improve my relationship with … (insert the name of someone you’d like to get on with better)? 

Perhaps it’s another issue in life, that you have. Ask yourself the right question and expect your mind to bring forth the answer, because it will, if you ponder the question long enough.  

Did you know if you spend only 15 minutes once a week studying wealth creation, in a year, you’ll have more knowledge than most people on the planet about the topic? That’s because hardly anyone does it. 

Most people complain about not having enough money, but hardly anyone studies why. It’s the same for most other avenues in life: building a business, maintaining relationships, having good health. If you spend just 15 minutes a day you can become an expert in any field, in no time. 

Perhaps instead of lamenting the status quo, we could try changing the question and educating ourselves on the topic, so we can find the right answer and overcome the issue we’re facing. 

Put a spotlight on the problem and laser focus on the issue, drawing out all the colours, until you have the big picture in mind and come up with the answer.

I believe earth is the learning school of life and we are meant to be overcomers; in whatever area we find ourselves lacking. Once you know your area of weakness, find a way to strengthen yourself. Learn how to overcome and then be the best version of yourself, that you can be.
