Hi y'all
Yesterday the nickel really fell (Dutch saying directly translated), I discovered what the key to most of our individual creativity is. I feel that it is not on the discussion table that we find our best strategic intents. I find that it is hardly ever the product of our arguments that finds it way into the record books as an unsurmountable fact. No, the contrary is what I believe to be the truth: The best insights and ideas come to you when you let everything sink in and start losing yourself in your own mind.
The product of your conviction should be a beautiful thing that you should start exploring and building onto. Whenever I feel that I am on track to discover something I pick someone random (outside work/office space) to discuss it with and sharpen it up. I feel that way too many times we try to explore our ideas in an environment where those ideas might not necessarily align with the ideas of others and can therefore be received with some resistance. I truly believe that if we sharpen up and reinforce our ideas substantially before we bring it to the contextual discussion table we have less of a tendency to give up and in that line can be more innovative.
In conclusion, whenever you find yourself in the shower with what appears to be an idea you should write it down and try it out with someone that has no particular interest into it to see if it can float.
