"An idea is developed and put into action is more important
then an idea that exists only as an idea."
- Edward De Bono
Have you had any great ideas lately?
Maybe you have even had some ideas that could be life changing?
All of us have life changing ideas.
All day long we have ideas that can change our life, change our career, our relationships and maybe they can change the world.
What do we usually do with theses ideas?
Probably NOTHING!
"Ideas have a short shelf time. You must act on them before they expire."
- John C. Maxwell
If and when an idea enters your mind - and it happens all the time.
Then the idea is likely good for you.
But we often feel that we can't act on an idea, if it is far beyond our picture in our own mind of what we can do with the idea.
We usually look for a reason why we can't do it or why it won't work and we quickly talk ourselves out of even taking any kind of action that will make the idea into reality.
Often we simply ignore it.
Our old conditioning is just messing with us and it is trying to reject the new idea.
Instead of ignoring it we must learn to take action on it.
We might just get one shot at that new idea, so we better take it and act on it right away.
"Everyone has ideas.
They may be too busy or lack the confidence or technical ability to carry them out.
But I want to carry them out. It's a matter of getting up and doing it."
- James Dyson
Next time an idea enters your mind ask yourself...
Is this new idea going to take me from where I am today and move me in the direction of the star that I am shooting at?
In other words... Will this new idea help me reach my goals?
Try to never dismiss a new idea. The new idea can be a life changer for you.
Instead take a few minutes to think about it. Stop and do some creative thinking.
Try to figure out if this new idea will improve your life.
A lot of times we are only one great idea away from success in our lives.
"It's not about ideas, it's about making ideas happen."
- Scott Belsky
Just remember... when a great new idea enters your mind, write it down immediately.
Don't trust your brain to remember it, because it won't
Always write it down.
Then of course you must act on the idea.
Without action it will remain... Just another great idea, that you didn't act on.
Never leave the scene of a good idea without taking action.
A year from today you will wish you started today.
Ideas take action.
New ideas can change the way we feel.
