Great Ideas Come in Strange Places…If You Are Looking
Thursday, March 19th, 2009Isn’t it funny how we seem to “stumble” upon some of life’s greatest gifts? It happens so often, but the secret is that it ONLY happens when we stop to think about HOW it happened. You see, everyday there are opportunities thrown our way repeatedly. We run in the grocery store to pick up a few items after work, and run into an old friend who happens to tell you he is selling the family’s well used, but mechanically sound vehicle. You just happen to be searching for a car for your sixteen year old son that is budget priced and in sound working condition. Bingo!
You take your son to the doctor for an ear ache, the last thing you really felt you had time for that day, as you were dealing with getting a crashed computer back up and running. Just so happens that while you are waiting in the doctors office, you sit next to a computer technician who tells you in three easy steps the exact “cure” for your “sick computer”. Bingo!
You realize as you are driving to work, already fifteen minutes behind schedule, that it is Secretaries Day and you have not gotten anything for the office secretary. Your mind races for ideas on a gift that is easily, quickly accessible, yet something that would be appreciated by your secretary. As you sit at a red light pondering what you should do, two young college students stride across the cross walk carrying a box boldly advertising the words, “Cutlery” . Your mind flashes to the last conversation you and your secretary had with reagards to hobbies. You remember that your secretary has recently started a night course in culinary arts. Bingo!
Time after time the gift of great ideas is before us! The fun comes in spotting them!
Put on your “idea finding glasses” and start seeing everything that comes your way; It sure is fun and surprizing! and I don’t know about you….but I love a surprizes!
Blessings for great ideas that bring you a delightful day, a joy filled life, and a prosperous business!
