Dare To Experiment With Your Ideas...And Reap The Rewards That Come With It

By Ron Balagot

Creativity is inventing, experimenting,
growing, taking risks, breaking rules,
making mistakes, and having fun.

~ Mary Lou Cook ~
An excellent quality you'll want to develop in yourself, if you want to experience more fulfillment in life, is the willingness or courage to experiment.

It is one of the key qualities of highly creative people.

In fact, without this quality, many inventions, creative works, and more would have never materialized. They would have just stayed ideas in people’s minds.

And as a result, we would not have benefited from them.

I mean, think what would have happened if Thomas Edison (who has more than a thousand inventions to his name) had stopped experimenting after his 50th (or so) attempt at creating the light bulb? Or if he didn’t experiment at all? Well, we wouldn’t have the light bulb today, now, would we?

And that goes for so many other things we now enjoy.

Of course, besides the willingness to experiment, you need to be aware of other important factors that must come into play when experimenting.

What do I mean?

Well, it’s also critical when experimenting that:

• You avoid prejudging the outcome (or avoid entertaining all kinds of negative thoughts). And you avoid worrying about the things you cannot control. Instead, you do your part by experimenting and then leave the outcome completely to God.
  
  
• You remain in a highly focused state (where nothing else matters except the task at hand).
  
  
• You make it a goal to enjoy the process (deciding ahead of time that you’ll do your best to enjoy, or have fun, experimenting—in other words, deciding not to take things too seriously—makes a big difference, because it puts you in an empowering state).
  
  
• You be willing to make mistakes…even if it means you have to look awkward or foolish at times (Thomas Edison was said to have made thousands of attempts before finally inventing the light bulb…and he reached his goal despite the discouraging words of others).
  
  
• You believe (without a shred of doubt) that you’ll eventually get your desired result (belief is a very powerful force).
  
  
• You persist in experimenting despite internal and external resistance.

Another good strategy you can use is to make it a habit of asking questions like the following, whenever you come up with an idea: “What if I did this?” Or, “What would happen if I did this?” Or, “What if I…(then simply finish the question based on your situation)?”

Questions that start with “What if…?” or "What would happen if...?" are powerful questions.

(You see, those kinds of questions also motivate you to want to find out what will happen…in order to satisfy your curiosity.)

I can’t stress enough the importance of developing this quality in yourself...the willingness—the courage—to experiment.

Looking back at my own life, had I not experimented as much as I did, many of the ideas I had in mind would have stayed that way…just ideas.

That’s why I strongly encourage experimentation. Not only do I know that it works, I also know that it's highly rewarding. (It's a wonderful feeling to see an idea—something that was once only in your head—turn into something that others can benefit from.)

Again, just remember, it’s not enough to be willing to experiment. It’s also important that you don’t give up when there's resistance (resistance from within yourself or outside yourself…for example, the negative feedback of others). Because if you do, you’ll never achieve your desired results.

Persistence is a very important quality. In fact, so important that President Calvin Coolidge said the following:

Nothing in the world can take the place of
persistence. Talent will not; nothing is
more common than unsuccessful men with
talent. Genius will not; unrewarded
genius is almost a proverb. Education alone
will not; the world is full of educated
derelicts. Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent.
So, let me ask you: What’s been playing around in your head for a long time? (Or lately?) What ideas have you written down? Or typed on your computer? What do you want to see materialize so that others could benefit?

If your inner critic is trying to hold you back, I suggest you completely ignore it.

Then just go ahead and experiment, experiment, experiment. (In fact, be a person who constantly experiments. Be an "experimenter.") And see just how far you can go with your ideas.

I can promise you that the emotional rewards will be great.

Break Free...And Start Living Life To The Fullest

By Ron Balagot

A musician must make music,
an artist must paint,
a poet must write
if he is ultimately to be
at peace with himself.

~ Abraham Maslow ~
Do you sometimes feel like you are chained up in a cage? Or feel like you are inside prison walls? If so, why do you think that is?

Is it possible that you are not being completely true to yourself? That you are living a lie?

In other words, could it be that you are not living who you “really” are? Not doing what makes you happy or what makes you at peace with yourself?

Listen...

Listen closely to the answer you get from within.

Do you hear a voice saying yes? Then you know something's not right.

Now, the question is...

When are you going to start paying closer attention to that voice? That part of you that's crying out for help? That part of you that's constantly begging to be set free?

And, more importantly, when are you going to start doing something about it?

When are you going to start doing what you love? What you enjoy? What gives you a deep sense of fulfillment? What makes you feel whole?

When are you going to put into practice William Shakespeare's good advice below?

~~~~~~

This above all: to thine own self be true.

~~~~~~
The truth is, you can start now...right now...just by deciding.

You don't need anyone's permission...except your own.

You can start doing and living what makes your heart sing.

(I'm sure you can remember many times when you felt intense joy...when you felt complete. When things just felt right...very right. When deep down inside you, a part of you said something like: "Yes, this is what I love. This is what I am meant to do." Well, there's no reason why you can't have that feeling all the time.)

You don't need to remain chained up (or to continue living a lie). You don't have to allow society or others to dictate the way you should live, the type of work you should pursue, the types of activities you should give priority to, and so on.

No, you don't have to stay helpless inside that cage...inside those prison walls.

You have a choice.

You can decide, here and now, to break free. To do what you love...and to do it as often as you wish.

Who cares about the past? Leave it behind you. That's where it belongs.

You can decide to live life to the fullest...starting today.

Remember, it's "your" life. And you don't have to give power to anyone (or anything) over it.

(Although others may be well-intentioned when they try to discourage you from pursuing what you love—thinking they know what's best for you—it is "you"...and not them...who will end up either happy or miserable...in the short-term...and in the long-term. I mean, just imagine what it would be like, if one day, in the future, you looked back and couldn't help but say, "I wish I had lived my life differently...pursued what I truly love. I wish I didn't allow others to dictate the course of my life. 'Cause then I wouldn't be so miserable today.")

~~~~~~

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by
the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.

~ Mark Twain ~

~~~~~~
"You decide" how you should live your life (of course, always making sure that your motives and actions are in line with what pleases God).

Life is short...fleeting...like a vapor. (George Mateljan knew this when he said: Life is too short to spend time doing anything except what you are passionate about.)

So live life to the fullest. Do whatever makes your heart sing...whatever makes you at peace with yourself. (And remember to contribute to others in positive ways whenever you can.)

Do it now...while there's still time.

Have you read this empowering book yet?

If you haven't read Bruce Jenner's book, Finding The Champion Within, I suggest you do.

(In case you haven't heard of Bruce, he earned the title "World's Greatest Athlete" when he scored 8,634 points in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympic games. In fact, you may have already seen him, since he has appeared on the Wheaties cereal box as an endorser.)

All I can say is I loved the book so much that I read it a couple of times.

Here's one of my favorite quotes from the book:

If you want to take your mission in life
to the next level, if you're stuck and you
don't know how to rise, don't look outside
yourself. Look inside. Don't let your fears
keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears
and raise your commitment level to the point
of no return, and I guarantee you that the
Champion Within will burst forth to propel you
toward victory.

~ Bruce Jenner ~
Well, happy reading.

Another Quick Announcement...

In my previous post, I mentioned that I'll be adding a Podcast Feed to this blog.

Unfortunately, I will not be going through with it.

After giving it a lot of thought, I felt that it wouldn't be a very good idea at this point. (Although the technology is wonderful, there are some things about it that I'm not completely happy with.)

Of course, things could change in the future (especially when certain improvements are made to the technology). I'll definitely keep you posted.

Meanwhile, do stay tuned as there are a lot of good things in store for the near future.
