Do some doodling and associate between objects, ideas, events, people, or processes that you have never thought of in that way before. Write out different aspects of situation make familar strange and strange familar. Try and ask questions of situation to clarify it. Great questions can solve mystery.

Now it is time to narrow down possibilities. Try ordering possibilities by ranking them against a pre-established criteria. Once likely possibilities have been found they can be expanded into better ideas. Find week spots in ideas ways that they could possibly fail.

Take action, ideas are only ideas until they are put into action.

Trust me. You were not born to be "mild." So cut it out! There's an entire universe out there starving for your gifts. How long will you continue to wait to take those last four classes needed for your degree? What career have you just been "wishing it were so" about? If all you can see is yourself remaining 16 units short of your degree, how can you possibly prepare for an exciting future? If you can't believe for a meaningful vocation now, will you have passion to believe for one later?

Challenge yourself. Commit to do just two things this hour that will untap your brilliance. Revamp your resume; make a phone call to your advisor. Even a modest amount of brilliance unreleased, would relay message to your brain: "Wow, she's serious!"

Ignite your passion. Inhale, then excel. Stand and deliver! See, then be!

Your life matters. Visualize your brilliance totally unreleased. Then boldly, step into vision.
