One Sound Idea

Bill Gates started tinkering in his garage decades ago.
And… he did not STOP, based on any outside conditions and circumstances (money, time, other people's opinions).
He puts his pants on one leg at a time just like you and me. Even he was making ends meet, dreaming, and moving forward with his idea … he persisted ... not knowing what would come next. Average looking, didn't dress well, Bill was just your average Joe with a dream.
JUST LIKE YOU... AND JUST LIKE ME.
We are never given an idea that we cannot execute.
If you can think it, you CAN DO IT!
One sound idea is all it takes, so I learned in deep study of Napoleon Hill's Think & Grow Rich.
Gates had his moments of fear, I'm sure. Even with all he has earned, note that he is acutely aware that giving back and living a life filled with value and integrity is required to maintain success.
Look at numerous political figures with plenty of money and opportunity. Yet they make choices that compromise integrity and values and ultimately, their true nature is discovered.
We can only hide the truth about ourselves for 'so long.' We know when someone is walking the walk.
No matter what, keep on keeping on!
Find likeminded people who won't try to stop you!
They are around, you just have to look.
The naysayers and those who see the glass as half empty are stronger in numbers and have had plenty of practice 'being' naysayers.
What is most interesting is that they really believe their perspective is the truth. It is... for them …Only. What they do not know yet perhaps is that the glass is also half full AT THE SAME TIME it is half empty.
We simply get to CHOOSE what we think and how we see it.
That is our gift as human beings. CHOICE of thought. And what we think provides our results all the time, every time, even if we don’t see it right away … or ever.
We cannot solve today's problems with the same kind of 'thinking' it took to create them (paraphrase Einstein).
When I began transformational work it was 1996 and I registered in the Landmark Forum. A three-day experience that introduces two dozen distinctions about why we are the way we are.
I loved this work and drank the Kool Aid heartily until 2004 when I wanted more. Something was missing. I felt really guilty when I did not meet ‘their’ measures of being in service to others. I was even prevented in their leadership program from looking into any other program.
That was for me One Good Idea ... find MORE. I took it and realized that Landmark was a great beginning yet not enough for me. I took action.
Go and get new knowledge needed to take the next step and beware of getting caught in the cycle of taking classes.
Time must be earmarked to apply that knowledge into our everyday life. It takes both: knowing AND doing.

Investing in knowledge is only half the picture. Without action, those dreams go back into the universal ‘collective’ and on to the next person... the person who will hopefully ACT on that idea.
Those who are successful in all areas of life are NO DIFFERENT THAN YOU ARE... Except for one thing... They KEEP MOVING, regardless of circumstances.
Often as we move toward what we want, we are faced with our own questions, such as
And our own inner voice reminds us of our failures and to not take risks; to play it safe. And 97% of people give up on their dreams and quit. Often they are just a few steps toward WILD success (Three Feet from Gold, story in Think & Grow Rich).
Now what about YOU? And your DREAMS?
Will your sound Ideas accompany you to your final resting place because you were afraid, didn't know how, thought someone might steal them, or didn't have enough time and money?
OR will you step out on Faith, find likeminded people, learn what you need to move forward... And then MOVE? Fear is pretty tiny once you step into its FACE. [04/20/11]
