You can live each day in a world filled with “problems” or rise each morning to a world filled with unseen solutions… “Pink Bats”… eager for you to find them. The decision is yours. The world you choose is the one you will create. ~Michael McMillan

Picture the possibilities. Our reality is based on our picture of the world.

Turning problems into solutions starts by adjusting our perception. By investigating our beliefs and modifying our biases, we begin to correct our perceptual blindness. With practice, we can see beyond the limits of our mental canvas to a world filled with infinite possibilities.



Ignite your imagination. “Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.”



Blend perceived problems. When “problems” are

Einstein, like all Pink Bat thinkers, capitalized on the power of imagination. Knowledge is important, but it’s

abundant, Pink Bat solutions can be found more frequently, too. In math, when we multiply

limited to what we currently know and believe. Imagination opens the door to endless possibilities.

negative numbers, we get a positive solution. This thinking also applies to finding Pink Bats.



Consider this basic Gestalt principle: “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”

Never assume. Assumptions stop us from seeing new possibilities.

By combining “problems,” a cognitive process takes place and a new solution appears.

That’s why it’s important to challenge the status quo... including your own. To minimize your assumptions, converse with diverse people who have different perspectives and explore subjects outside your present scope. Thanks to earlier Pink Bat thinkers, we know the world isn’t flat like many experts once assumed.



Keep labels in check. Labels can be helpful... but they

can also be misleading. When we label something as a problem, it becomes one. Mistaking a label for reality is like confusing a map for the territory. Pink Bat thinking is about looking beyond labels and seeing new realities. You’ve heard the expression, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” By seeing a “problem” as a solution, we invert conventional thinking and expand our perception of reality.



Awaken your curiosity. Turning problems into solutions requires an insatiable curiosity. Pink Bat thinkers are truth seekers. Nothing or no one

(especially yourself) is beyond questioning. And don’t accept “yes” or “no” for an answer. There are always more layers to peel back... and more Pink Bat opportunities and solutions to find.



Take action. Potential solutions remain concepts until

they’re proven. What’s more, it’s often during testing that Pink Bat solutions appear... unless they’re missed because someone is more focused on finding another result. Many of today’s greatest solutions are results of failed experiments... unexpected consequences. In the end, Pink Bat thinking is just the beginning. The number of unseen solutions in this world is infinite.
