Prifitable Thinking Series

As an author, sales letter writer, inventor and painter I understand creativity. I know the kind of ability and perseverance it takes to invent useful and/or beautiful products. All of this activity and thinking can be fun as well as an extremely interesting way of life. Learning the many ways to create and invent takes effort, focused thinking, enthusiasm, determination, patience and constant prayers asking for the Lord's guidance and help. God is the original Creator. As His children we are all born with the ability to create and invent. Again, it is important to keep in mind that we are all born with the potential to be successful creators and inventors of profitable, beneficial ideas and products with world changing potential. We can cause these talents to grow stronger (just like a muscle can be made to grow stronger) with use, or we can allow our creativity to lie dormant and unused. The choice is yours. If you want to be creative, you can force yourself to create. How? It starts with thinking about finding solutions to one or more of the problems all around us. You can do it if you will set aside the time needed to think about the problem and then come up with a profitable idea to solve the problem. Terry Talks Series this is #1 of 4. "It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it."* --* John Steinbeck
