This One Idea Can Change Your Life Forever
IDEAS are the fruits of your thinking.
One idea can change your life.
The aprk of thought thought that sets you on a new path.
The spark of thought that gets you to develop a new product.
The spark of thought that suggests a marketing breakthrough.
But they’ve got to be harnessed and put to work to have value.
Each year an oak tree produces enough acorns to populate a good sized forest. Yet from these seeds perhaps one or two acorns will become a tree. The squirrels destroy most of them and the hard ground beneath the tree doesn’t give the others much chance.
And so it is with ideas. Very few bear fruit. Ideas are highly perishable. If you’re not on-guard from the squirrels (negative thinking people and your own negative thoughts) will destroy them. Ideas require special handling from the time they are born until they are transformed into practical ways for doing things.
Use these 3 ideas to harness and develop ideas:
1. CAPTURE THEM. Earl Nightingale said “Ideas are like slippery fish. If you don’t ‘spear’ them with a pencil they will escape.” Ideas will come to you at all sorts of times. They’ll just ‘pop’ into your head when driving, having a shower, a beer or wherever. BUT, they don’t last long. If you don’t record them your mind WILL forget them. Keep a notebook with you at all times and WRITE them down. If you don’t, the fruits of your thinking will disappear . . .
2. Next, review your ideas. Store them where you can find them. If you only create ONE idea a day, within a year you will have more ideas than mot people record in a lifetime . . . Review your ideas . . . You NEVER know when just ONE will change your life.
3. Fertilise your ideas. Now make your ideas grow. Think about them, attach them to other ideas. Read everything you can about your ideas. Discuss your ideas with other. And when the time is right, put them to work in your business and your life.
And be sure of this.
Ideas arise when you are exposed to new thinking, new people, things outside your comfort zone. People NOT in your industry, people who have SOLVED your problems before.
Attaching yourself to other people will similar goals and dreams as you acts as the fire to create the SPARKS of new ideas you can use to benefit your clients, yourself, your family and friends.
You need to rub shoulders with other success hungry people. Associate with people outside your core interests – doing so will illuminate the BIG picture.
Dedicated to others success,

Best way to relax and deal with stress?
I’m a full time carer for my mother and the stress is really starting to get to me. She can not be left alone so I am with her 24/7. Is there any way to deal with the stress or am I just clutching at straws?
Please look in the yellow pages for services to help with respite care. There are also caregivers who come into the home and assist with the elderly.
I am sorry your feeling so overwhelmed right now, and understand why. It is very taxing and strenuous work. do you have any siblings that could assist with your mother? You need to take care of your needs too, and deserve a break. Call rest homes to, and ask about information on elderly care that live at home, maybe they can lead you to the right direction. I am sure there has to be county services out there for you that will offer assistance.
My heart goes out to you.
You must love your mother very much.
