It’s a known fact that if you play enough games of Tetris, many people will begin to play the game in real life, envisioning how shapes in the real world might fit together.

You may be strolling through a store and see how the boxes on the shelf could stack nicely together, even potentially envisioning boxes falling down into place to fill certain holes or gaps.

This is just another example of how powerful the mind is, and how what we feed it can (and will) control our thoughts.

What if, instead of just walking through life and going through the motions, we were always attuned to various patterns?

What if, instead of our normal challenges/struggles of daily life, we primed ourselves to only see the opportunities they might bring?

Creativity is a lot like popcorn for me.

You want popcorn? Apply heat to dried kernels.

But be prepared for a lot of those miniature hard nuggets to never yield any of the delicious white, fluffy, goodness we love to dump butter on at the movies.

No one frets over the un-popped kernels, they just serve up more kernels for another bag of soon-to-be popcorn.

We can treat creativity like this.

Our minds can be the machine that dishes up those kernels (ideas).

While a lot of these ideas can come to nothing, other ideas can bear a delicious snack (worthwhile pursuit/business/endeavor)

We all can be popping with creativity, if we are willing to keep throwing ideas out there.
