*HOW DO REVOLUTIONARIES THINK?* _Do not be shaped by this world; instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you; you will know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect (Romans 12:2 NCV)._ Beautiful evening. How do people come up with revolutionary ideas? This was the question on my mind as I read the story of William Mulready and the British Post Office postal reforms of 1840. The story is that back in 1820, writing letters was not a particularly attractive venture for an average person in England because letters were mailed without a cover and could be read by anyone. But William Mulready had an idea to ensure privacy - the envelope. Mulready had visited France and noticed that messages from an important person often were completely enclosed in _"a little paper case...impervious to the peering eyes of the curious."_ So, he decided to replicate the idea of sending letters shielded from curious eyes and it was an instant success. As I think about this, I realized that there is a way revolutionaries think. They pay attention to their environment and actively consider how they can add value to the lives of people leveraging on their experiences. They actively question their experiences and consider how they can make life better for people around them. They are curious about new things happening around them. They are not afraid to challenge the status quo. They don't shy away taking on new ventures. This why they are able to come up with great ideas. They are driven to add value and they are more interested in solving problems than merely analysing them. *Pray by faith with me thus:* "Lord, help me to renew my mind so that I can conceive the right kind of ideas in the pursuit of your purpose for my life." Amen. *Keypoint:* To be effective in our pursuit of purpose, we must learn to think creatively and positively. _______________ #justpurposedaily ©AimPurpose IfeOluwa 🗓 February 6, 2025 https://bit.ly/hi-aimpurpose
