We fail to notice what we have seen. We are so convinced that worthy insights lie beyond us that we fail to consult the treasury of thoughts and vision we generate every hour by our brilliant but unexplored minds.  The thoughts of geniuses are not very different from our own. They simply had the confidence to take their ideas more seriously and study them properly.

Our minds have more ideas stored in them than can be found in the collective catalogues of any library. We have a significant number of memories of moving and beautiful scenes than the world's greatest museums can put together.

Our minds are a treasure trove of ideas

The key to originality doesn't lie in seeking out new ideas and experiences, but rather in examining our own neglected thoughts.
