Good Morning,

We humans are, by nature, quite creative. At the same time, we can, all too easily, get lulled into our comfort zone kind of like a warm bed on a cold night.

Our creativity usually comes when we see what we believe to be a real need and are driven to fill it. Many times it is because the cost of inaction is high such as losing a job and not having another one. 

• Many a small and successful businesses has been started by someone who could not find work that utilized their skills and challenged them.
• Other times it comes from a need not being satisfied whether our own personal needs or those of someone close to us.
• Some see something as difficult and want to create a way to make it easy.
• Others see something as unsafe and dangerous and want to make it safer.
• Most great inventions did not come from large corporations or government agencies. They came from some individual who, working on his/her own, tinkered and tinkered until successful.

What is going on in your life, in your mind, that could use an invention to make things better? How might you solve it? What is keeping you from doing it?

Have a good and inventive week.

Jim
