I Have This Great Idea

Every day, ideas show up. They are able to jump right into our minds without any introduction, and that's exactly what they do.?There are so many of them that time and space can't hold them all. Where do they come from??And what are they telling us?

With so many ideas as part of the creative process, it's essential to figure out which ones are the truly great. Those are the ones to act on, and they deserve your full attention.?They can take over your life, and change everything you care about.

Now, it's quite possible that an idea that you think is great makes somebody else, who you just told about it, shake their head, and look at you as though you've taken leave of your senses.?That's the reaction of one person.?Who else are you going to tell? Now, you have to ask yourself a few questions.?Say you are thinking you're going to go ahead anyway.

Who is going to take responsibility for carrying this out?

What is the benefit of doing it for you and the people who are close to you?

How is this going to do some good in the world?

When are you going to get started?

Where will you find the time and energy to carry it out?

And, why would you share this idea??Are you encouraged or motivated by the feedback you are getting, whether positive or negative?

Keeping an idea all to yourself isn't going to do anything except make it want to escape from you and fly to someone else, so do share it if you feel it is worthwhile.?Check out the responses you get and weight them against your inner drive and knowledge.??

For some people, being told they are dreaming impossible dreams is the spark that motivates and inspires.?"I am going to prove them wrong!"?This is how a large percentage of the things that have made the world better were created, by people who used the energy of the nay-sayers as fuel.

Talk to your idea and listen to it.?If it seems like it wants to take over your life, it just might be a great idea.

The greatest good for the greatest number...that's the measure of a great idea.
