It can be yours&#8230;your friends&#8230;your place of employments&#8230;or even a public one.<\/p>\n<p>Yet it doesn&#8217;t matter&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Because the same thing can and does occur in any one of them.<\/p>\n<p>And it starts with the question&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What are you really doing in your bathroom?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now for most people a trip to the bathroom is for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n<p>For others there&#8217;s something else going on.<\/p>\n<p>Case in point&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>My trips into the bathroom are adventurous.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because I come up with many of my best ideas&#8230;topics to write about&#8230;different and new ways on how to help people live inspiring lives.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also the place where I came up with the names of the different products and programs I teach&#8230;such as the Breakthrough to Achieve program&#8230;the Roadmap to Financial Freedom program&#8230;and the Living Your Fulfilled Life audio series.<\/p>\n<p>And what&#8217;s especially interesting during these bathroom rendezvous&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>They sometimes take place in the shower&#8230;other times while shaving&#8230;as I&#8217;m brushing my teeth&#8230;and yes even when actually going to the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>At first I thought this was unusual&#8230;and began thinking, &#8220;am I the only one who experiences this&#8221;&#8230;because obviously this is not something you&#8217;re taught.<\/p>\n<p>But then I heard about Einstein&#8230;and how he would come up with some of his best ideas while taking a shower.<\/p>\n<p>So what did he do?<\/p>\n<p>He created a waterproof pen and writing tablet and hung it in his shower.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty clever&#8230;right?<\/p>\n<p>Coming from Einstein would you expect anything less?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk about you now.<\/p>\n<p>What goes on while you&#8217;re in the bathroom?<\/p>\n<p>What new ideas&#8230;revelations&#8230;different thoughts about your life come to mind?<\/p>\n<p>And whatever it is for you&#8230;what type of action are you taking on them?<\/p>\n<p>For starters&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s wise to have some method of remembering what these are&#8230;because something interesting happens after you comes out of the bathroom&#8230;you&#8217;ll have a tendency to forget it.<\/p>\n<p>This is why Einstein did what he did.<\/p>\n<p>Also&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And this is certainly the most vital part&#8230;what is your vision in following through on your &#8220;creative bathroom wisdom?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course this will be different for you versus someone else.<\/p>\n<p>What is the same&#8230;however&#8230;is that you come up with a way to take advantage of&#8230;and to maximize your creative power.<\/p>\n<p>In fact&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This can obviously &#8220;carry over&#8221; to places other than the bathroom&#8230;and in your case it may even be both.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is for you to &#8220;capture the moment&#8221; when that one &#8220;big idea&#8221; pops into your mind&#8230;that one &#8220;aha&#8221; moment&#8230;the epiphany that has a high probability of completely transforming your life.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Because this is something I actually developed over time. What I used to do growing up was just take a shower&#8230;get in and out&#8230;and that was it.<\/p>\n<p>So this isn&#8217;t something I was &#8220;born with&#8221; so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>And the same is for you.<\/p>\n<p>The other cool thing is that you can always use the bathroom as your &#8220;personal time out&#8221; resource&#8230;to unwind&#8230;to get focused&#8230;to become energized.<\/p>\n<p>One other point of interest&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always wondered why bathrooms never counted as an actual room in a house&#8230;specifically when it came to buying a house.<\/p>\n<p>What I mean is that you&#8217;ll hear, &#8220;the house has 8 rooms&#8230;not including the bathrooms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some even say, &#8220;it&#8217;s a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In any case the bathroom seem to take a &#8220;back seat&#8221; so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>However&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an important part of your life because as you&#8217;ve seen here it&#8217;s the place where you can actually start planning out how to live the type of life you want.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like a strange concept..well it is&#8230;and that&#8217;s a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s the same with you.<\/p>\n<p>Because you&#8217;ll have people throughout your life say that you&#8217;re &#8220;strange&#8221; or do unusual things&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Yet that makes up the uniqueness of who you are.<\/p>\n<p>And if that magnificent uniqueness of yours can create ideas from of all places&#8230;a bathroom&#8230;so be it.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what the same thing remains&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re a special person with a limitless abundance of value to contribute to the world&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And when you let yourself shine for all to see&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The world gets to see how much you really do matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of them are big.
