Listen To Your Ideas by Michael Southon
Listen To Your Ideas
by Michael Southon
The Internet is a highly creative place. Every day
people are launching new business solutions, writing
new software, creating new scripts that do things we
couldn't imagine just a few months ago. And in the
publishing world, a quiet revolution is taking place.
People who never dreamt of being authors are writing
and publishing their own eBooks.
A key to succeeding on the Internet is your ability to
come up with new ideas. But where do creative people
get their ideas?
One day in the mid-1970's a young man stumbled into a
diner somewhere in the United Sates. Slung over his
shoulder was a kit-bag that contained everything he
owned. He was unshaven and needed a shower badly. He
had very little money, but enough for a phone call.
He rang his bank and asked how much was in his
account. A woman's voice informed him, to his
amazement, that the balance in his account was four
million, three hundred thousand dollars. His name was
Richard Bach. Six months before, he had submitted a
short story, barely 10,000 words long, to a New York
publisher. For the last three months he had been
living the life of a nomadic 'barnstormer', sleeping
in fields under the wing of his bi-plane. He had been
completely unaware that his manuscript, titled
'Jonathon Livingstone Seagull', had become a run-away
best-seller.
Years later, Richard Bach talked about how he got
ideas for his writing. He referred to what he called
his 'Idea Fairies', silent intimations that came to
him and whispered in his ear.
To capture those ideas you have to be very alert,
because they're often barely audible. They'll come to
you unexpectedly, early in the morning, when you're in
the shower, or late at night as you're drifting off to
sleep. Or they may come to you after meditation.
Meditation is an excellent way of tapping into your
creativity. Why? Because in meditation you go beneath
the surface level of thought, where most of us spend
most of our time. In meditation you dive down into a
much deeper current, a subterranean stream of
creativity that runs through all of us.
As well as being alert and keeping an open mind,
another key way to get new ideas is to read.
Ideas are living things, and like other living things,
they meet and fertilize each other. When you read an
article or a book, your ideas are coming into contact
with someone else's, and something new is born.
Indeed, that's the very reason the Internet is so
creative; millions of minds are coming into direct
contact in a way that has never before been possible
in human history.
This process of cross-fertilization happens
spontaneously and beneath the level of conscious
thought. Suddenly you'll have a new idea and you won't
even know where it came from. So when you're feeling
stuck or feeling that you've run out of ideas, read,
read, and read some more.
