Would you believe my last blog post, "
Are you Out'cha Damn Mind?", became my most read blog of all time? For some reason, that beautiful piece of literature amused, entertained and insighted strong emotions. So following up such a masterpiece of the written word has been my personal struggle for the past several days. Finally, it dawned on me ... WHILE I WAS IN THE SHOWER.
Much to the delight of those around me, each morning, I take a shower. Not only does this daily ritual wash the stink away, the shower tends to be the place where I get my absolute best ideas. When my family was struggling to figure out a way to spend a day in Southern Minnesota, it dawned on me that
The Spam Museum was just a short drive away, the moment my feet hit that slippery shower floor. I wrote
Underpuppy while in the shower. And had it not been for the warm splash of hard Des Moines water pounding against my face, there's no telling if the ending of my controversial upcoming book, "
Unleashing a Momster" would ever have popped into my overtaxed melon.
So that is where we begin today's blog entry - Where Is YOUR Shower? Everyone has a proverbial shower, where all their best ideas materialize in their head. While I tend to be the most focused as I lather up with a handful of
BeautiControl Spa Products to put my mind somewhere relaxed and tropical, yours very well may be somewhere less obvious. Perhaps your clarity comes when you are commuting to work or as you cook a nutritious dinner of Digourno Pizza and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese? Maybe your brilliance peeks the second before you doze off into a beautiful and scenic slumber-land? Whether you are at your most creative and clear while you relax in the tub or after your screaming children finally pass out, recognizing the details of when you are most likely to experience the light of brilliance is a key to grabbing hold of your best ideas.
It is important to know when you are most creative if you plan to be successful in the entertainment industry, but this is also helpful in all aspects of life. Now that I recognize that my brightest ideas come while I am in the shower, I generally have a pen and paper stashed somewhere in the bathroom, just to ensure that I can quickly jot down my brilliance as the ideas occur.
Regardless of where your "shower" is, keeping a writing utensil in the direct vicinity is highly recommended and is the BRILLIANT advice I offer in today's blog. Your moment of clarity might be as simple as joining
Heather Ryan's Success Club or as complicated to
Ending World Hunger. Either way,
WRITE DOWN the fruits of your lucidity and ACT UPON THEM! It is one thing to have a million dollar idea, but it takes a real barnstormer to actually
take action and MAKE that million dollars!
Remember, had I not acted upon the ingenuity of my morning showers, Eden's World would never have become a reality - and that would have been TRULY Tragic! (Yes, You should DEFINITELY follow that hyperlink - it's my little surprise gift to you!)
Until next time, I'm stinky and out of ideas - it's time for a shower ...
