How many times have we said to ourselves, "If I only had some time to
think!". We get so caught up in our day to day activities and the
pressures of the urgent that we don't find time to sit and think, plan
and be strategic. The grind of trying to stay on top of all of the
emails, phone calls, meetings and project work doesn't leave much time
for any of us to sit down with a clear mind and think about the future
or the the things we have in front of us that need deep and long
thoughts. There was a book that came out a few years ago about the it
being an art to be able to think and conceptualize the long view of the
future. But even like any art, there are foundational disciplines below
the art form that are required before one can do anything well. A
painter who doesn't understand color, a writer with poor grammar, a
songwriter who can't play an instrument, or a business leader who can't
find the time to think, are all efforts that are undermined by not
having the fundamentals understood and perfected before trying to layer
on the next level of creativity. Finding and carving out the time to
wear your thinking hat is a fundamental part of finding success in business.

I have always been fascinated by lightning bolts. Whether it was the suit of Shazam or Thor throwing bolts across the universe. What I also love about lightning bolts are how one bolt from sky to ground fractures into hundreds more...kind of like my thinking process. Expect to see lots of random thoughts across a sky of topics. I will do my best to not have lightning strike more than once!
