The ideas web
All of us are indoctrinated with ideas of how to live life and how to be successful.
Think of some of the main ideas you have about life and how to be successful.
How many of those ideas did you implant into your own mind? How many come from outside influences?
Someone once said "Disappointment = Expectation - Reality".
Some outside ideas are good and useful, while others simply hold us back.
What is the answer?
Think of a goal you want to achieve (i.e. get a stranger to buy you a coffee, or give you five dollars, or give you a hug) and then...list a few original, novel ideas on how you can reach that goal. Whether or not you achieve the goal is unimportant!
What matters is that you did it your way!
