1. Think outside the box.

Einstein believed that the mind set which creates the problem is not the mental space in which you solve the problem. It is necessary to step outside the box.

2. See the whole picture.

A limited perspective distorts what one can perceive. It helps to have an overview.

3. Break through resistance.

There are many ways to overcome constraint. The creative process holds the key to moving energy into a more productive direction.

We can make pearls out of life’s gritty moments. Every irritation, disappointment or failure provides the opportunity to recognize an area in which we need to gain strength, perspective and understanding. The lessons we learn form a foundation for leading a richer, more harmonious life.
