Change the alleyway view?

Someone saw a stereotypically boring and dirty alleyway and had a thought. What if this alleyway could become a beautiful thoroughfare?

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Been saying this for years. Now there’s a new BFO…

The original BFO centered on the physical example of looking at flowers and never seeing their shadows. But a simple refocus and our gaze suddenly sees their shadows everywhere, instead of their colorful blooms.

The new insight (BFO), however, just came to me. Mentally changing what we see in the future.

For example, moving from something we never think about (see) to what we always think about (see) in the future.

It’s simply having a clear, concise, and compelling vision of the future that we rarely think about (see) because it’s impossible.

Changing what we see changes what we see.

When we consistently see impossible things, we can program ourselves to continuously move toward impossible.

In the past we were never able to move toward impossible because we never thought about (saw) it.

Mental road trip

Quote about talking to people different than you
Yes and, help others see the world differently.

Seek out a million ways to think about things.

Talk to the crazy ones.

Read and watch the crazy ones.

Eventually, be the crazy one for others.

Note: Remember, change your world to change the world.

Something big is going down

Upper left drawing is a brain. In 2008, didn’t know that the big box holding the four smaller boxes would become “HQ”.

Something big is going down.

What then?

It’s like a perfect storm.

Never been in this life-place before.

It’s a bit like leveling up to middle school, or high school. Or for some of us, college. Or maybe buying your first home.

It’s something special.

Uncharted territory.

That’s all i can say for now.

When you can’t compete

When you send a thank you to a team, send a diverse offering of goodies.

When you can’t compete on traditional criteria, break the rules.

Make your own set of rules.

Keep them to yourself.

Insight: Surprising your competition is your only hope if you can’t compete in traditional ways. How cool and exciting is that?

Day 2 grade

Florida alligator
Today, 4:00 PM. Grocery Store retention pond. Tourists give themselves an A if they see a big gator up close.

Grade given for second day not writing for two-hours first thing in the morning…a radical change after 13 consecutive years.

Another C.

Average.

Like day one, no burdens, no epiphanies.

So yes, average.

For sure though, it is like trying to cross your arms the opposite way you always cross your arms. You can do it fairly easily, but it requires an unusually deeper level of concentration for something so simple and routine.
