I’ve been pondering this thing we talked about yesterday. Just doing things because, not always for a reason.
I had a rethink about it because I don’t just do things for commercial reasons, that’s not it, I’m not rich enough for this to be the case, I give away too much for free for this to be the case! So what is the ‘purpose / end goal then’?
Ideas. The endless pursuit of great ideas. I love ideas, and more specifically problem solving. Give me a problem, I’m in my happy place trying to solve it.
I can easily generate 10 ideas to solve your problem. Right now. Send the problem I’ll show you. It doesn’t mean they will all work. They are ideas. An that’s where I spend my time,
Finding ideas to solve problems, sometimes things which aren’t even problems!
So that’s my home truth. I love creating ideas to solve problems, and if there is nothing to solve then what’s the point!
So I’ll be working on doing things that don’t need solving.
I share this as the philosophy of Rethinking is about continuously exploring the things you think, even the things you think you know for sure, and going deeper, what’s the real thought, the real insight. Never assume your first thought is the right thought. It’s just the start of you getting to a good thought. And from there you can have brilliant ideas to solve the problems you need solving, and the rest you can just do because!
Have a great weekend, pondering, rethinking, exploring!
