Ideas are like lenses Put them next to each other and you have eye glasses of ideas, but
Ideas eye-
Glasses

Put one lens on top of the other then you have a microscope

It took almost 300 years for someone to think of this simple move. Dare we think along similar stupid lines?

So are ideas confined to a small space. Stupidity confines the space, but
this may lead to emerging behaviors

Ideas are like dough and may stretch and fold in a
confined space and generate unpredictable
ideas The positive side of
creativity

Stupid questions make you laugh. They relax your mind and senses. The juicy creative ideas flow out

Chaotic Stupidity

The idea may not be stupid; we make it look so

Cindy Breden Life Coach Top Contributor Yes Ali I agree that going beyond the familiar and being in touch with the inner child can be a terrific way to achieve that. I just did that this morning ... the quiet, reserved, serious me accepted an invitation to be a clown and perform for others (way out of my comfort zone) ... the result is that I can feel the energy bubbling and it was FUN :-) I literally felt like a child again. Too often we can take this life far to seriously including our creativity and that seriousness (need to produce ... and not only produce, but produce perfectly) can interfere with the natural flow of creative energy :-)

My response Cindy, your experience this morning and literally feeling like a child prompts me to go the extra mile. I say even I act and do few things that would make me a fool. I even dared to write a short presentation on : Stupidity Spawns Creativity http://www.slideshare.net/hudali15/stupidity-spawns-creativity Yes, sometimes we need to go the full swing from seriousness to hilariousness

Cindy Breden Life Coach Top Contributor Thank YOU Ali for sharing. We are all in this together ... life ... creativity ... all of it ... and who knows where creativity, life in general, is going to lead us? What I love about this conversation about the inner child is that we ARE the child and the Adult ... the creativity flows from/through the child and by creating a safe space for us to allow the inner child to be free we create a space for creativity beyond the confines of our "adult" conditioning. What appears crazy or stupid or foolish to one person may be just what another person needs in their lives. As creative spirits we can simply be the vessel that allows the creativity to flow through ... free to be in the world around. Thank you Ali for having the courage to allow your expression to speak to all of us here. Many of the inventions we take for granted in our lives today were brought forth by people thought to be crazy :-)
