How do travel and creativity relate?

How can travel generate revenue in your life based on creative expression and ideas? It’s quite easy today compared to our human ancestors and the almost unimaginable challenges they faced to create some of the world’s most amazing statues, buildings, bridges, paintings, cities, towns and machines.

Let’s say you are a writer, architect, idea man, doctor, lawyer or anyone who needs to think and create on their toes.
Imaging walking in the footsteps of the Romans or sitting inside the home of a Herculaneuan ; how about generating ideas while gazing at the arches of the great ruins of Paestum.

These types of activates will stimulate your creative outlet to the point that you will be able to produce more, secure more, sell more, negotiate more and be more passionate about what you do in life. In turn, it will result in more revenue to your life through the inspiration and productivity you will find through freeing your mind during travel.

One way to do this is travel to far off places like Italy, France or Greece where much of the words modern machines, concepts and ideas began;  and make it a goal to sit and experience something ancient; something that took creative mind power to build, paint, move, design or sculpt.

Take time away from the guides, away from the trinkets, nick nacks, crowds and imagine the thought process and immense challenges so many centuries ago that created  what you are looking at.

Now, apply that to your own situation ; what can I do that I’m not doing that can improve my own life. How can I be inspired by the successes of the people of the past; and apply that to my current job, current design, article, project.

This type of unblocking of the creative, logistical or business thinking process is most successful when you are physically present with something that by standards of the day was considered a monumental venture.  The hands on presence of being there is the key to unlocking the creative spirit.

By realizing that people created such grand and complicated items such as Mona Lisa, David, pantheon, Greek parathion, all without the use of email, batteries, technology or even electricity.

No matter what you are working on; by modern standards it should be a walk in the park compared to your human ancestors and if done correctly; you should now be able to open up parts of your thought process that were not there before. The history and accomplishments of the past can be applied to the present.

Travel is creativity, travel is expansion of the mind, travel will produce revenue in your life if you are able to tap into the creative spirit that is within each of us.
So when you are mentally stuck, think of how Leonardo da Vinci thought through the complications of painting the Sistine Chapel and if you are a top level executive who has to mentally produce every day; then you better get your head in front of something daunting and old so you can humbly go back to your slick computer, satellite TV and global communications and figure it out!
