CLARITY IS EVERYTHING
There are additional questions that you can ask to trigger your cre-
ativity—for example,
“What am I trying to do?”
Be absolutely clear
about your answer to this question.
Whenever you experience any frustration or resistance in
achieving a goal or getting a result, ask yourself,
“How am I trying to
do it?”
and
“Could there be a better way?”
Don’t fall in love with your
current methods.
What are your 
assumptions
? What are your obvious assumptions
and what are your unconscious assumptions? What are you assum-
ing to be true that if it were not true, your thinking would change
altogether? Alex McKenzie wrote, “Errant assumptions lie at the
root of every failure.”
