Let Something Wonderful Happen


One of the plotlines of the classic Arthur C. Clarke book (and movie) "2010" is that as the long-lost Dave Bowman appears to current astronauts orbiting Jupiter, warning that … "something wonderful" will happen and they must leave (a new sun was soon born, which somehow led to the easing of cold-war tensions across the globe).

While a second sun is highly unlikely, 2010 can certainly be a year in which something wonderful happens to you. This isn’t just a sappy new age mantra.

Research has shown that people who expect great things are much more likely to receive great things. People who expect to come up with great ideas and are open to them, are the ones who develop the killer ideas.

So in this last year of 2009, resolve to have a more open mind in the coming year. Resolve to find a way to expect great ideas. Resolve to expect great things. Try it.

In this case, may life imitate art for you. Happy New Year.
