Like you, most of my good ideas come during solitude after conversations. Conversation is one of the more positive stimulants that we have on this earth. That's why there are "think tanks", group discussions, meetings and so on. As someone who rarely asks for opinions/help/assistance, I have found that when I do involve someone else, it adds more dimensions to my previous thought(s). Thanks for sharing pal! - Ali .-= S.

It really is true that you need both solitude and collaboration in order to really be creative. I like hearing the insight and input from other people. I may not agree with it sometimes but it is good to see it from another perspective. BTW congrats on this blog. I haven't been here in a while but it looks like its doing great :) Dead on!

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 08:31:52 +0000 http://www.edenjournal.com/?p=897#comment-1938 Hi Eric - Very interesting about solitude. I've been doing a lot of reading about expressive arts and creativity, and one of the things I've come across is that silence was considered by almost all ancient civilizations to be one of the four great healing salves. And that it was, in and of itself, a creative act. The other salves are singing, dancing, and storytelling. Fascinating, don't you think? p.s. I'm linking silence with solitude here, but I think they go together. .-= Patty @ Why Not Start Now?´s last blog ..<a href="http://whynotstartnow.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/meaning-mondays-between-gratitude-and-grief-edition/" rel="nofollow">Meaning Mondays: Between Gratitude and Grief Edition</a> =-.

One of the things I love about personal development blogging is the close knit atmosphere. Everyone makes the rounds to visit everyone elses blogs. I end up finding tons of great new content just by following links in comments. To my readers: Here is the link to Sibyl's guest post on Change Your Thoughts.

I am a fan of Leo as well. I actually found your blog because you left a comment on my guest post at CYT. Thanks for that comment by the way. I really appreciate it and am glad I found my way to your blog. I thought the point you made about participation and bouncing your ideas off of other people was an important one. We can really add so much more creativity and be inspired in more ways when we share our ideas with other people. Thanks for all these great recommendations. Eric: Great post.
