The Plan: Pure Excitement

In the last installment, the notion of create-ivity managed to gain my fancy. Today, I shall speak of pure excitement. Why is it pure?

Well, I would like you to dig deep, within your creative self, and find that sense of childhood excitement - pure, innocent, and unwavering. Let your mind wander there. Don't be all adult-like and stuff. Put It out there.

We must get excited about positive change in this country. Excitement is the wind in the sails of our great creative vessel. Without it, we lack the spirit to continue in the right way. I believe much of the energy propelling change today is quite negative in its makeup. We are driving ourselves to a place called forward through casting fear, animosity, and ad hominem as our oarsmen. That's a shame. People must use the positiveness of laughter, storytelling, and scenario-building to gain energy and momentum.

With the creative spark buoyed by pure excitement, it is now time to turn our attention to more boring material such as collaboration and project management.

As always, be thankful for what you have, buy only what you need, and work diligently for peace. Oh, laugh a little why don't you.
