Belief: The Real Idea Maker
If I had to state the most important thing in finding ideas, it would be belief. It’s not only my most important prerequisite, it’s also the first thing that needs to be established. By belief, I mean that we need to know that anything is possible when it comes to our ideas. We need to believe not only that we’ll get great ideas, but that our ideas will change the world for the better.
Before you even try to come up with ideas, believe that anything is possible. This is something I could say a million times in a row, but people still wouldn’t follow. Let me repeat: anything is possible. Suspending your disbelief, cynicism, and logic will open your mind up to new ideas.
Let’s say that I believed that there was some way human beings could fly. No airplanes, no jet packs, but with only our bodies and minds. Yes, this may be impossible to you, but not to me. Will humans ever be able to fly by themselves? Maybe not, but I will still believe that it can happen. You see, believing anything is possible doesn’t make you crazy, it makes you able to see what most others don’t see.
At some point in history, people would be shocked if someone believed the world was round, we could explore space, or man could run a mile under 4 minutes. What would be shocked about today? Those are the exact things to believe in.
Belief releases amazing possibilities into our minds. It turns thoughts and ideas few have ever dared to dream into something real. You should try it sometime.
