About 1000 Brilliant Ideas

Hi there!

I'm Helen and welcome to 1000 brilliant ideas!

For my entire existence on this good Earth, I have taken the path of least resistance and it sucks.
It's what I like to call "blessed stressed."

Following rules and fitting the mold of college, corp job, marriage, house and children has been tremendous experience and for that I am truly blessed.
Maneuvering within the corporate jungle while raising a family simultaneously well that equals stressed.

I find myself feeling something is just not right for me and daydream about all the other things I would rather be doing like brilliant ideas.

Path of least resistance
Graduate College → Land a Corporate Job → Get Married→ Buy a House →Have 2 Children

I can't seem to shake off this constant gnawing feeling that never really goes away of dissatisfaction, guilt and mediocracy.

This is what I like to call "stressed blessed living." I have been granted many opportunities that many others around the world do not have access to. I should be happy. I should be content. Was I crazy?
Why was my heart no longer in it? I was constantly stressed and over worked and wanting to be somewhere else, doing something else - something that would fit the life I wanted to live, not some future fashioned for me when I chose my major when I was 18 years old.

Time is fleeting and I started to think long and hard about how and what I was doing with time oh precious time. I wanted to focus more time on the quality of food we ate, focus more time on my children. I wanted to become a foster parent and solve a real problem with the foster care system.  The life I currently have isn't setting me up for such things.  How can I do these things, if I myself was constantly stressed, surviving and hating every minute of it.

For years, this gnawing feeling of generating ideas never leaves me like a buzzing fly around your picnic table, I need ideas to transport me away from a cubicle into a land of possibilities.  I need it to find my groove, my motivation,  thinking up something out of nothing rejuvenates me.

I am a suburban living, corporate working woman with brilliant ideas that are dying to come to life.

Will I implement any of these ideas? Maybe.
For now I am jotting them here and taking myself into the land of possibilities.

Thanks for stopping by!

17. Girls Can Lead subscription based monthly booklets for young girls

Image
Despite many achievements accomplished by women over the years, statistics tell us that they make up only 14% of top executives and 8% of top earners today.  While its good that women have entered the workforce in droves and make up 52% of entry level positions, we have long way to go to level the playing field and make up for years of discrimination and hundreds of years of people telling women they can't.  Empowering girls to be more brings a perspective to the most powerful and influential positions that matter, decisions that shape the world.  In order to get there we need to show girls they belong.  Girl Can Lead monthly subscription mission is to inspire the future generation of girl leaders and make them feel they belong.  Their voice matters.  Highlighting stories of women leaders, entrepreneurs and change makers on a consistent basis - young girls will have other women to look up to making the way to leveling the playing field by inspiring girls to dream big

5. Device that tracks and shares medical information

Image
Data is currency and yet its difficult for medical researchers to get their hands on it.  Companies have ways to learn all they can about their potential consumers  and track our information to target consumers like vultures - its disgusting. We need a device that collects data for the sake of the greater good - medical research  and inevitably makes medical research less expensive.  It would have the power to collects data about anything that can measure our health and send it to medical research for those who are willing to select the send my info to medical research checkbox.
