New Ideas - You Can Create New and Visionary Ideas
This is no longer the information age. This is the imagination age. The highest achievers are people who create new ideas, people with imagination. Imagination is dynamic, and your ability to creatively think and tap into your inner genius is infinite. It is not hard to use your creative thinking abilities and come up with new ideas. It's the same process you use to vision. It is an innate ability that all of us have, but because it is not encouraged or cultivated, it has atrophied - it is like muscles that you never use. The physicist David Bohm once said, “Creativity is a fundamental principle of the Cosmos and what needed to be explained were the processes that were not creative.” If creativity is a fundamental principle of the cosmos, then we all have great capabilities of thinking of brilliant ideas.

The French philosopher Voltaire said, “Good is the enemy of great.” We’re at our best when we’re forced to stretch beyond what we know, yet we tend to come up with ideas that are predictable and within our comfort zone. We settle on good when we could keep going all the way to great. Part of this is because we don’t cultivate our imaginations, and part of this is because we’re afraid to come up with new ideas because they may sound crazy and make us look foolish. But often new ideas, because they can be so farsighted in scope, look outlandish to those who can’t think that far ahead. Most of the time new ideas, because they are visionary in nature, are rejected by many-especially the experts who claim they know it all. History is littered with brilliant ideas that end up on the rejection pile, but because the person who believed in their idea felt so strong about it, it was able to rise to the top and eventually succeed.
