“There is nothing more delightful than planting flower seeds and not knowing what kind of flowers are going to come up.” Milton Erickson
Erickson enjoyed planting seeds of ideas to his patients, students and subjects to get them into another training of thought. When we get stuck into certain train of thought, it is hard to get out. Like this quote, “The way out is through the door. Why is it that no one will use this exit?” Confucius. What seem obvious to one person, isn’t alway obvious to another who’s thinking a certain way that’s not useful. We all have experienced someone pointing something out to us that seems obvious to them; and then it dawns on us what’s so obvious about it. After it dawn on us, we feel silly and ask ourselves why didn’t we think of that before. It’s also like an “aha” moment when we get after looking for solution. Then when we see things in hindsight , it seems so clear to us now.
