Think Like a Child

Children are so unpredictable, so creative. 

They take risks without even knowing there are consequences involved. I was that child yet my creativity dwindled as I grew older. 

So how do I get my childhood creativity back? 

Here is my process to bring out my inner child. 

First I like to think stupidly then apply logic later. 

Stupid or outlandish ideas may be the answer to some of your problems. Do you think when Walt Disney proposed Mickey Mouse to MGM Studios for the first time he was accepted? 

No! They laughed in his face. 

They said his idea was stupid and that children were afraid of mice. 

And now look how far Disney has become.. 

Sometimes I make a list of only stupid ideas and apply a logical explanation to all of them. Whichever ones are most viable, I will accomplish. 

I love my stupid ideas. Most of them suck but there will always be that one golden egg that will separate you from the rest. 

I like to think stupid. 

I like to think like a child.
