The Last Idea

If you consider that we are only as good as the last idea we had, on a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your:

   * Self
   * Creativity
   * Leadership style and ability
   * Managerial qualities
   * Marketing
   * Relationships - yes I did say relationships. Do you still have date nights? Do you still organise time out with the kids / teens? Would your teens still want to spend time with you if you haven't had a decent day out idea in years? Answer - probably not.

Now go back to the beginning of this list and start again. How would you rate yourself based on your last idea of how to make you a better person.
When was the last time you let your creativity have full reign without someone (usually your inner voice) telling you it's rubbish and you should stick to carrot farming (or whatever you do for a day job). Go slosh paint, write a poem, knit a scarf, find a way to make someone's life easier with that crazy invention you've had simmering for 20 years...

And before you say anything else - just 4 words

IF NOT NOW? WHEN?

I've said it before, and I will repeat it until I am blue in the face if I have to ...

You will not live forever
The graveyards are full of people who died without reaching their full potential

So

How do you want to be remembered?

Now, let the ideas flow

And if you really have no idea how to do that - not only do you and I need to talk, you also need to take some time out, pencil, paper, go for a walk, sit in an armchair and listen to Bach or whatever works for you... but you do need to do it.

One final caveat

No idea is stupid. In fact sometimes the silly ones are the best.

To every last idea we will ever have ... and then some
