It is hard to imagine a more simple invention than the wheel. Most of life's great innovations tend to be similarly neat and sweet. There comes a glorious moment in the creative process when, having gone through a complex list of options, we finally realise that 'all that's needed is this, or that'. It is usually so obvious that, once we've seen it, we can't imagine how we ever missed it. You're looking for a solution. Bear the above in mind and then just wait. The penny will drop and you'll soon smile.
Imagine you have been given a set of strange ingredients and challenged to make a meal out of them. But they just don't go together. Even the world's top chef would find it hard to turn these random items into something special. Now let us look at your personal recipe for happiness. It seems to be missing something. You feel confused. You could do something excellent, if only a couple of factors were different. Stop looking for the missing resource and start looking for a bright idea. You are about to find the perfect formula.
You can't walk backwards into the future. Nor can you keep casting your eyes over your shoulder. This act will cause you to stumble or, worse, it will be taken (by whatever you are so keen to make sure is not following you into the future) as a sign that, somehow, 'it is still wanted'. The tomorrow that you have long promised yourself will come one day is, in fact, here. Or at least, it is if you are prepared to treat it as such and to give it a chance to work its magic, unfettered by old expectations.
Think of the countless billions that the governments of this world spend on education. Has the Creator of the universe no respect for our economy? Why not fix things so that babies arrive on earth fully informed: literate, numerate and ready-schooled in the disciplines they will require for their eventual career? Failing that, how about a microchip inserted in the brain soon after birth? It would save a fortune. Be glad of what you don't know. It is about to lead you to a priceless discovery.It's a fact that we worry about the unknown but what about glorious moments of our discoveries?
