There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something

“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something.” - Bilbo Baggins, The Hobbit.

In the simplest sense, Ideas are just small mental collisions.

Idea A bumps into idea B and the combination of these two bits of mental charge creates more energy than they had on their own.

This is the alchemy of an idea.

This can only occur if you give your brain the resources it needs.

It needs stimulus - it needs fresh idea A’s and idea B’s.

Those of us who do the same things every day: taking the same route to work, watching the same TV shows, having the same conversations - are failing to provide our brains with what they need.

Fresh stimulus means fresh ideas.

Feed your brain.
