A world where everyone around you looks like one another. They are all the same. Stop what your doing and really imagine your world like this.

They not only look the same, but they are exactly the same. We have the same features. The same eyes, the same nose, the same hairstyle. We all have the exact same characteristics. The same attitude, intellect, emotion, and world views. We look the same. We think the same. We act the same.

What a tragic world this would be if that were the case. We wouldn't have the freedom to make choices for ourselves because there wouldn't be any choices.

In a world like this, stimulation would not happen. We would not be driven to think of new ideas or try something now because everyone around us would be doing the same thing. You wouldn't have any ambition to get ahead because everyone else is always going to be at the exact same level.

Instead of everyone being the same, think about it if was only the people you dated. Every boyfriend or girlfriend looked the same. Every person you've ever went on a date with looks the same.

Choosing your next date or even spouse would turn into a very boring process. Think back to your previous relationships, what if every single one of those people were exactly the same?

Those butterflies you feel when you find the right person for you would be gone. How would you know if that person was truly the right one if all your other previous partners had been exactly the same. We would be left with no options.

Why am I telling you all this?

The reason is, thankfully, we live in a world of complete differences. Therefore, there are tons of options, and every day we have the chance to make hundreds of real choices, and each one of them has a completely different outcome.

Living in a free society allows us the freedom to make choices. As creative thinkers, we embrace this freedom because it allows us to explore those options.

Having the ability to explore different options allows creative thinkers to generate many new things - a new ebook idea, a new service idea, a new joint venture idea, a new email series idea- the list of possible opportunities is endless because we have the option to explore them.

New ideas are ignited from exploring the new, going for different opportunities and possibilities, instead of sticking with the norm. That's what creative thinkers do, go for what will bring new ideas.
