An Idea is NOT enough, a Great Idea Is.

Dear lovely people,

Businessdictionary.com defines an idea as “a thought or collection of thoughts that generate in the mind. An idea is usually generated with intent, but can also be created unintentionally…”

Beautiful. I think that an idea is simply a basic and indispensable technique to understand ourselves, our society, and the world in which we live.” Are you with me? If not, hear what the philosophers have to say according to Wikipedia “…ideas are usually construed as mental representational images of some object. Ideas can also be abstract concepts that do not present as mental images... A new or original idea can often lead to innovation.”

Every single great invention in the world today was once an idea in somebody’s head for example, the mass production of books and the rapid dissemination of knowledge throughout the world will not be possible today if Johannes Gutenberg did not transform his idea of a printing press into a physical reality.

Most of the times, an idea is not enough, you need a great idea to turn the tides. The big question is: what is a great idea? Well, for you to conclude that you have a great idea, you have try it out. To do this, you must be action-oriented, you must be somebody who gets things done and accomplish results. Therefore, the question you should consistently ask yourself is: What is the correct sequence of steps to take? And of course, before diving into action, you must have a feasible plan.

There are those who think that just because their idea sounds great in the ear is enough reason to jump into action. Wrong. What I term a great idea is one that is potentially transformative and fundamental to the inherent greatness of your fondest dream. It must be an idea that is the underpinning of your main motivation for success and one that taps from an infinite reservoir of passion within you.

Your great idea must propel you to aspire to be more. Your vision of yourself isn’t big enough. Your capacity far exceeds any limits that you perceive. You are capable of being and doing more. You only begin to stretch yourself when your vision grows big enough and underlined by a great idea. Once you believe that you have a great idea and that you can be more, you will become even more.
