Actively look for inspiration

Image
It is easy to pick up the negativity, which all the current challenges (financial, jobs, weather, ethics, crime etc.) are spreading. If you read the newspapers and watch the news, it is hard not to be influenced. Of course the level of dissatisfaction with the current situation is a great source for innovation. But innovation will only be successful if you have a positive, creative and constructive mindset. That mindset needs to be fed with regular inspiration. Therefor you need to make sure that you receive your daily doses of inspiration. You can set up a system to assure that you will be receiving that positive, inspiring news regularly. Here are some suggestions:         Books (use Amazon Wishlist to keep track)         Podcasts (subscribe via iTunes)         Google alerts (email when your interests are mentioned)         Blogs (use Google Reader)         Twitter (set up groups of interesting people; follow # of your choice)         Connect
