All too often and not surprisingly, we see the world according to our view. Yet, ours is not the only one, and while it may in some ways be unique or, in fact, more aligned with others, we typically seek to want others to see the same way we do.
What a shame that would be if we were successful. If you are so intent on others seeing things the way you do, very soon, you may just find that everyone seems to agree with you. The reality is that is not the case, yet, it is now far simpler to settle and get on with my day than to debate with you and experience a variation of hysterics when we are not in agreement.
Even more so, how do we ever challenge our thinking and push ourselves to new levels of creativity and problem solving unless some external stimuli fuel us? That external stimulus is often available from those who work closely with us and understand what we do. While they may not always be the best options for creative inspirations because of a like-minded outlook, it is an option we can use. If we desire creative influence, invite input and genuinely listen and learn from others. Use what you learn to challenge your thinking
