Thoughts are like waves

I’ve often found this to be true – sometimes random thoughts or inspirations pop into my head – totally random: then I’m in a conversation with someone and they say exactly the same thing popped into their head.

I figure those thoughts are inspiration waves. Ideas which, like waves, you can surf – or just let go. If you go with it you might go for a while and enjoy the ride – if you don’t then another might pass your way. Or it might not. If you don;t act on the inspiration them maybe the next person will – and that person gets to enjoy the benefits (or not).

For exampe – a few years ago I went for a group dance holiday to Cuba. It had struck me before that a series of videos for the traveller to do from their sunbed might be fun – I often used to do isometric exercises whist apparently relaxing! One afternoon by the pool I was chatting to one of the other ladies – and she said exactly the same about making such a video.

I’m not saying you should ride every wave – but rather you do get to choose which wave you ride.
