Problems and challenges can often provide powerful motivation for change. But often when you are trying to correct a problem in your life, your thought process is confined to the conditions of the existing problem. Your field of vision is narrowly focused on the current limitations, rather than being open to bigger and better possibilities.
On the other hand, when you allow yourself to be led by the inspiration of your dreams, you are open and receptive to many more possibilities that reach far beyond the current challenge you are trying to resolve. You are able to see the big picture and even glimpses of the possible future that your creative ideas could produce.
One good way to harness the power of inspiration and use it in your daily life is by keeping an idea journal. Use any blank journal or notebook, or even a document on your computer, and spend time each day jotting down all of your ideas and dreams. These can be the things that you would like to do or experience in your life, either now or in the future.
These can be very simple ideas, such as small improvements that you would like to make in your life. They could also be fun experiences you would like to have, and those bigger, thrilling, life-changing dreams that have been lurking in your heart for years. You can even write down some positive expectations for the upcoming day, such as, “I will receive abundance in unexpected ways today,” or “I will receive a great opportunity today.”
Write your ideas out in full detail and allow yourself to feel excited about them. Don’t try to figure out how to make them happen, because that will only lead to confusion and frustration. Instead, focus on generating strong, positive energy and channeling it toward the most exciting, fun, gratifying, uplifting ideas that you can imagine.
Then set your journal aside and continue with your normal routine. You don’t have to make anything happen just yet. Simply enjoy the pleasant feelings connected to your ideas. As you continue to do this daily, you will probably start to notice that you are receiving more and more inspiring ideas as you go about your normal activities. Your vision will continue to expand. You start seeing the world in a whole new way, and those changes that you want to make in your life suddenly start seeming more possible.
Most surprisingly, spontaneous solutions to those pesky problems will start showing up just when you need them. The right people will cross your path with perfect timing, ideas will continue to flood into your mind, and new opportunities will appear no matter where you go.
As magical as these changes might seem, they are not caused by magic. When you remove your attention from problems, challenges, limitations, and the things that are not the way you want them to be, you begin to weaken their presence in your life. When you then start opening your mind to better ideas, expanding your vision for what is possible, and tapping into your natural source of inspiration, you generate powerful creative energy that leads you straight to the fulfillment of your dreams.
