1507: Leave room for the unexpected
We're great at using our imaginations to use the worst case scenarios, so today I'm invent you to use it for good.
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Wednesday to you. It is Hump Day. We are in the 31,000 days of January, and I wanted to pop in with some inspiration that I feel you might need. Many of us are creative. We are also overthinkers. And sometimes we use our excellent problem solving skills to try and imagine every possible outcome. And I think many of us have had many a fabulous project idea gone to die, or never to see the page or whatever our metaphorical page would be, because we thought of all the different ways that it could go wrong. Like I imagine all of us.
I have had many nights that I've not slept because I'm mulling over a problem that I just can't seem to find the solution for, even though I look at it from every single angle. And often what ends up happening is something completely unexpected or. Or an option I hadn't even considered pops up or turns up or becomes obvious. And there is another path completely. So today's episode is about holding onto the hope and holding on to the faith that things may work out in the least expected way possible, but also in the best way possible. And this episode is also a rallying cry from for using our creativity for good. We spend so much time thinking about all the different ways things can go wrong and we have a hell of a good imagination. And we can also use that for the flip side too.
You might not have the answer, and you might not know the answer, but it might just come to you in the most unexpected form imaginable. And if we have the capacity to imagine the shittiest of shitty things, then maybe we can make a bit of space to imagine that as well. Happy Wednesday. Happy Hump Day. You've got this. See you tomorrow.
