We believe that every human experienced that “A-HA!” moment at least once in their life. The magnificent idea emerged and we were ready to give up everything at that moment and to invest 100% in it. And the feeling was good, in the split of a second we thought we figured out the meaning of life. And then we just continued with our lives in most of cases, as if nothing happened.
But where dide that thought come from? What happened?
Some would call that faith, some would call it the message from the god(s), but the truth is actually pretty borring. Our mind combined all of the previous experiences in our life and came out with the solution to some problem in it’s own, unique way. You see, as we all have fingerprints that are one of a kind, in the same way we all have unique experience palette. Even if two people with the exact same background and skills, experience one thing in two different ways.
We cannot reinvent hot water, and to come up with something new is pretty hard these days. But, we can combine the things we already know and put together some cool combination out of it, which will be unique. Even if we come up to a thing that already exists in many forms, it will have our own “stamp”, something that is purely ours. That is what makes it unique.
As previously said, people minds are calibrated to think in problems. We are always searching for solution to something. From colonizing Mars to faster rice-cooking, we need that one thing that will bring us sense of achivement and satisfaction. So, should we run away from problems?
No!
We should not just face our problems, but we should expose ourselves to more experiences every day. That way, our mind will have larger ammount of data to combine and create it’s unique set of solutions. Who knows, maybe some day one of those ideas will change the world.
