Unleashing altruistic creativity technique
-------------------------------------------
In our on-going quest for additional ways to rub the magic lamp to release the creative genie-in-us (genius!), here's another grain for the millstone....
Most of us are intrinsically wired to be helpful.
So that means, if you are struggling to get ideas going for your own selfish reasons, try and tap into your innate altruism instead.
You'll be amazed at how much more creative and productive you can be when you are inspired to help another, help a cause, or help save the world.
Many of us lack for meaning and purpose. We aren't inspired. We have no real drive.
But if you can find some cause that you can relate to... watch out world! Here come the new super heros!
Would Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Albert Schweitzer or the Dalai Lama have been nearly so dynamic without the causes that they championed?
Can you imagine Winston Churchill without WWII? Could Walt Disney have made Disneyland just for himself? Where would Bill Gates be without his vision of an affordable PC in every home?
We need to build, invent, create and make for each other....
Ciao,
Wily
