Happy Memorial Day!

As the sun began to rise to kick off the Memorial Day weekend, I heard a whisper in my ear, then my eyelids started to open, and suddenly, I realized that I was dreaming! It was the kind of dream in which the framework of a new idea was forming, and instinctively, I went back to sleep because I wanted this mental picture to develop fully. Has this ever happened to you?

I usually wouldn’t think much of this experience, but in this instance, I felt compelled to give this idea some focus. Thus, when I woke up, I hopped out of bed, turned on the lights, and rushed over to my MacBook to capture my thoughts. I am convinced that recent conversations about creativity and a few articles that I’ve read on the expected wave of innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic triggered this dream.

Indeed, thoughts are fleeting, and the discipline to consistently jot down your ideas, whenever they come up so that you can review and refine at a later time is paramount. Who knows, you could have an idea that sparks meaningful change all over the world. “Everything begins with an idea,” - Earl Nightingale.

So as I go outside to find a comfortable area to continue writing, I take a moment to admire the breathtaking view of the sun rising over NYC. I wish you and yours a fun holiday weekend!
