Checking out all possible options is a definite attribute that all creative thinkers have.
A world where everyone around you looks like one another. They are all the same. Stop what your doing and really imagine your world like this.
Imagine, everything about each person is exactly like one another. It is not just the way we look, but the way we act, think, feel. From our attitudes, emtions, world views to our clothes, hairstyle and eye colour - we are all exactly the same.
If everyone was the same, thought the same and acted the same way, then there no one would have any freedom. Choices would be pretty much made for you. To be honest, that would be a horrible world to live in.
In a world like this, stimulation would not happen. We would not be driven to think of new ideas or try something now because everyone around us would be doing the same thing. You wouldn’t have any ambition to get ahead because everyone else is always going to be at the exact same level.
Instead of everyone being the same, think about it if was only the people you dated. Every boyfriend or girlfriend looked the same. Every person you’ve ever went on a date with looks the same.
Choosing your next date or even spouse would turn into a very boring process. Think back to your previous relationships, what if every single one of those people were exactly the same?
Now there would be no right or wrong person, because how would you ever know if they were all exactly the same? The energized feeling of finding that special person would be gone. With every potential spouse being exactly the same as another, we would be left with no options.
Why would I be telling you all this?
Because the world we live in is actually full of differences everywhere you look. Each day you are faced with making hundreds of real choices, each having a possible completely different outcome.
As creative thinkers we embrace the opportunities given to us in a free society. All of the choices before us are seen as having great potential because we have the ability to explore all of our options.
Exploring the different possible options available to creative thinkers allows us to come up with new ideas which can lead to anything. A new teleseminar series idea, a new product idea, a new business idea, a new salesletter idea, the list is endless. So many different things can be spawned off of one another because we have the ability to explore new oportunities.
Creative thinkers, they do that all the time. They remove themselves from the mundane and they pursue new, different opportunities and possibilities because that’s what sparks and spawns new ideas.
