Let me explain why.</p>
<p>We are creative creatures. No matter who you are, no matter what you are doing - YOU are a creative creature. We have the capability of making something useful out of anything. All we need is the right perspective. That right perspective will, every single time, thrust us into creativity - whereby we not only survive, but thrive!</p>
<p>Today, our world is facing many challenges. You turn on the news and there's bad news all around.&nbsp; We each have personal challenges of our own to handle - some tittering on the edge of overload. Well, I have good news!&nbsp; You have made it this far and you'll make it even further.</p>
<p>Give yourself time to think about creative (and legitimate)&nbsp;ways to make the best lemonade out of your lemons!&nbsp;Give yourself TIME! Not time inundated with entertainment so you can relax.&nbsp;But time when your mind has room to have its own thoughts and the creativity in you have the opportunity to flow.</p>
<p>There is the account of the man who discovered the way to structure (in order to explain) DNA.&nbsp; It came to him in a dream.&nbsp; I don't think this is strange.&nbsp; You have experienced something like this before.&nbsp; How a solution seemingly comes from out of nowhere.&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can certainly credit God for it! I do. Even so, I credit God for the way that God has created us - wiring us with the ability to come up with creative solutions. Let me explain.</p>
<p>It is a known fact that if a person take the time to ponder a matter extensively, understanding will inevitably come to them - spawning creativity and solutions.&nbsp; The man who came up with the way to explain DNA in a dream gave himself to much thought concerning that matter.&nbsp; He was primed for understanding, creativity, and the solution to be spurned.&nbsp; His is not the only story.&nbsp; Many in history and many today experience the same.&nbsp; There is one thing they all have in common.&nbsp; They gave themselves time to ponder - time for creativity to flow!</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://reachminh.com/coachingnotes/rss-comments-entry-4473027.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
