How to think & dream creatively

When you believe, your mind finds ways to do. When you believe something is impossible, your mind goes to work for you to prove why. But when you believe, really believe, something can be done, your mind goes to work for you and helps you find the ways to do it.
Believing something can be done paves the way for creative solutions. Believing something can't be done is destructive thinking. This point applies to all situations, little & big.
You can find ways to like a person if you believe you can. You can discover solutions to personal problems if you believe you can. Belief releases creative powers. Disbelief puts the brakes on. Believe, and you'll start thinking-constructively.
Your mind will create a way if you let it. Where there's a will, there is a way. Believe it can be done. Eliminate the word impossible from your thinking and speaking vocabularies. Impossible is a failure word. The thought "it's impossible" sets off a chain reaction of other thoughts to prove you're right.
The traditional thinker's mind is paralyzed. "Average" people have always resented progress. There is no one best way to do anything. There are as many best ways as there are creative minds. Absolute perfection in all human undertakings from building missiles to rearing children is unattainable. This means there is endless room for improvement. Successful people know this, and they are always searching for a better way.
The I-can-do-better philosophy works magic. When you ask yourself, "How can i do better?" your creative power is switched on & ways for doing things better suggest themselves.
Capacity is a state of mind. How much we can do depends on how much we think we can do. When you really believe you can do more, your mind thinks creatively and shows you the way.
In business, in the home, in the community, the success combination is do what you do better & do more of what you do.
As a personal policy I have accepted fully the concept: If you want it done, give it to a busy man. I refuse4 to work on important projects with persons who have lots of free time. I have learned from painful, expensive experience that the fellow who has plenty of time makes an ineffective work partner.
Big people monopolize the listening. Small people monopolize the talking.
Top-level leaders in all walks of life spend much more time requesting advice than they do in giving it.
Your ears are your intake valves. They feed your mind raw materials that can be converted into creative power. We learn nothing from telling. But there is no limit to what we can learn by asking and listening.
A mind that feeds only on itself soon is undernourished, becoming weak and incapable of creative progressive thought. Stimulation from others is excellent mind food.
Association with people who have different job interests broadens your thinking and helps you to see the bg picture. You'll be surprised how mixing regularly with people outside your occupational area will stimulate your on-the-job thinking.
Ideas are fruits of your thinking. But they've got to be harnessed and put to work to have value.
Ideas are highly perishable. If we're not on guard, negative-thinking people will destroy most of them. Ideas require special handling from the time they are born until they're transformed into practical ways for doing things better.
Don't let ideas escape. Write them down. Everyday lots of good ideas are born only to die quickly because they aren't nailed to paper. Memory is a weak slave when it comes to preserving and nurturing brand-new ideas.
Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.
Don't let tradition paralyze your mind. Be receptive to new ideas. Be experimental. Try new approaches. Be progressive in everything you do.
Ask yourself daily, "How can I do better?" There is no limit to self-improvement. When you ask yourself, "How can I do better?" sound answers will appear. Try it and see.
Ask yourself, "How can I do more?" Capacity is a state of mind. Asking yourself this question puts your mind to work to find intelligent shortcuts. These success combination in business is: Do what you do better & do more of what you do.
Stretch your mind. Get stimulated. Associate with people who can help you think of new ideas, new ways of doing things. Mix with people of different occupational and social interestsl
