The word “idea” symbolizes opportunity, a new frontier, making things better, smarter, and different. Ideas are linked to great minds throughout history—Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Ben Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstein. Great ideas fuel our evolution.

A new idea solves problems, fixes errors and swings the doors of opportunity wide open. Ideas change things. Ideas enable us to grow and become more. Ideas unlock the gateway to the unimaginable, the unthinkable and the great abyss of the unknown.

Our abilities to birth, harness, develop and execute ideas determine the level of prosperity we are able to realize as a culture. Your belief about ideas and about your ability to generate them will dramatically affect your idea production. Those who feel “idea worthy” will have less difficulties conceiving of these mystical creatures.

Armed with an infinite reservoir of ideas, you become a champion in whatever field or area you choose to focus your attention. With free flowing ideas, you always find an unlocked door to opportunity.

• You’re never short a sum of money; you’re only short of an idea.
• You’re never short a new job; you’re only short of an idea.
• You’re never short new customers; you’re only short of an idea.

Ideas are the currency of the mind—the more valuable ideas you have, the more abundance you will experience. When you learn to embrace your creative self, the world transpires in your favor.  Awe-inspiring career achievement, business development or financial aspiration becomes only a matter of time.

So what ideas are you embracing?

In performance terminology, Woods demonstrates “unconscious competence” on the golf course. Unconscious competence occurs when one excels at a given activity without needing conscious awareness of his actions. This doesn’t mean Tiger is unconscious when he swings his seven iron—his intense focus simply transcends the details.

When you enter a state of unconscious competence, you connect with your natural, rhythmic flow. Your thoughts resonate with your body. Your movements become flawless. Your words become poetic. Your consciousness momentarily elevates to a degree of enlightened clarity. In that moment, you meet your authentic self.

Our authentic self, however, is often out to lunch, buried beneath an infinite number of momentary distractions. Disharmonic breathing combines with inconsistent actions; dissonant thoughts combine with disempowering belief systems. The resulting performance is usually less than stellar.

To reach the level of unconscious competence, you have to do what you love to do and do it often. Focus on ways to become better at it and make it a daily discipline—practice, practice and practice some more. Then, trust the Self and let go.

We have all the resources we need right now, if not for the stumbling blocks we unknowingly create within us.

Observe your thoughts, monitor your beliefs and watch your actions—all three provide you with clues for unleashing your true self. Galileo Galilei said, “We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.”

Where in your life can you unmask your resistance—and find your authentic self?
