The Fog Lifts, Breakthrough!

Last Update: August 06, 2010

Encouragement and message of hope for newbies, before I leave for Vermont.

I'm traveling up to Vermont to be with my three beautiful nieces and our visiting friends from France. Really looking forward to it.

Before I head out,  just want to leave you with some happy thoughts.

Had a breakthrough this morning.  A major one. Just like confusion is part of the process, so are breakthroughs. Those of you who are feeling lost, take heart! YOU DO NOT HAVE PERENNIAL BRAIN FOG! The mist eventually clears. You wake up one morning and wonder what all the fuss was about.

I stressed too, like crazy!  If you're usually a quick study like me, you probably started to wonder where your smarts went.  You begin to doubt your own intelligence.

I have "seat of the pants" Detective Columbo marketing experience, and have been very successful with it. Not on the Internet, on LAND. I have zero formal training in marketing. Being with WA has remedied much of that gap in my education. I know that many of you are even MBA's in marketing, and some of you are also confused. Frankly, you gave me hope. Didn't feel so bad about my own brain fog if you were confused too. Misery likes company? Not really. Just made me feel normal.

Well, you wake up one morning, the fog has lifted! The sun is out, the sky is blue, and miraculously YOU HAVE SOME INSPIRED IDEAS. Try them out! You won't know if you don't try.  You have a feeling of clarity and well-being. Good-bye mystery. YOU HAVE THE PROVERBIAL HANDLE ON IM. Go with it!!! It's that confident feeling that counts. YOU CAN DO IT!

IT"S A BREAKTHROUGH!!! Just what you have been looking for, and it's right there, finally. 

Now, I'm going to hit the road. Better believe, I'm gonna take the scenic route.

oops--pressed send too soon. rest of my comment is: one delight of Kekele is that he wrote the experience down, complete with a simple line drawing of the snake curled in a circle, holding its tail in its mouth.
Thx, you ! Diane, reefswimmer

What fun to wake this morning, and read your delightful experience of the creative process ! Reminds me of the gazillion stories of scientific discoveries made in a similar way (hey, this is a universal human experience when we wake up to it...) One of my favorites in Kekele, who discovered the field of organic chemistry staring him straight in the face . Skipping the details, he was working with a chemical we now call benzene, and it did not follow any of the rules for chemical structure known at the time. Frustration, frustration, fog, fog. Woke up in the middle of one night with a clear dream/image of a snake curled around into a circle, holding its tail in its mouth. Aha! a whole different take on how chemical structure of compounds can be shaped. Unlocked a whole new level of understanding of the physical world.

Great post!! What a great, peaceful, joyful, positive state of mind! I'm so happy you feel that way and inspire others to feel the same! I agree with you, it can come pretty suddenly and everything is then so simple and easy and right before your eyes! Hope you'll have a great time with your family and French friends! :)
