You are in line at Starbucks watching the newbie barista go slow. You can either think, “lord I’m gonna die before getting a drink” or you grit your teeth with “there has to be a better way to do this” firing off in your brain. There might not be a way but it’s the thought process that matters. If you are constantly looking at everything through the ‘there has got to be a better way’ lens, you’d be amazed at how the ideas and creativity will start to flow.

I like this. It’s not about effort or inspiration, it’s about patterns of thinking.
