4. Believe that Everything has a Solution. An optimistic outlook always leads to solutions, no matter how impossible a problem or task may be. Often when a solution can't be found, all that's needed is for problem to be redefined. Or when you think you're stumped, surprise your mind with silly solutions then work backwards, leading to original problem. Cultivate an attitude of continuing search for solutions.
5. Let Go of Your Fear of Failure. Don't expect to do something perfectly for first time. Thomas Edison tried about 1800 things for perfect filament for incandescent lamp. Fear of failure is one of major factors that can hinder your creativity. Instead of looking at failed attempts negatively, look at your failures as learning opportunities. Failing isn't fun, but neither is doing nothing.
