How many times throughout the day do you have an\u00a0idea? How many times do you fail to take any action\u00a0on your ideas and move your ideas forward? How many times have you failed to\u00a0make a great idea happen? Yet, how many of you remember\u00a0every time you did make some idea happen in your life, your\u00a0work, or your community? Do you remember the energy, joy,\u00a0elation, and happiness that flowed with it? Even when it was\u00a0hard, it was worth it.<\/p>\n
To begin, you need to start remembering and reconnecting\u00a0with your imaginative self and getting those big, hairy,\u00a0audacious ideas out of your head and visible. To do this,\u00a0and not lose ideas over time and circumstance, means you have\u00a0to take your ideas and anchor them in reality.\u00a0Anchoring an idea is important, because most of our ideas\u00a0die before they see the light of day. In other words, they never make it out of our minds and into our speaking or writing.<\/p>\n
Close your eyes for a minute or two and think of the last time\u00a0you were inspired about something. What was it? How did you\u00a0feel when you thought about it, talked about it, worked on it?\u00a0Energized? Excited? Optimistic? Hopeful? Passionate? Anchor\u00a0that memory and feeling into your mind. Now write it down.\u00a0Read it out loud to yourself. Did reading it energize you? What\u00a0if you read that weekly for the rest of your life? You have just\u00a0experienced how to capture the energy of your ideas and keep\u00a0them going.<\/p>\n
The goal of this practice is to get all ideas out of your head and\u00a0get them visible to your eyes. The practice itself is simple. All\u00a0ideas are written down, big and small. So many of our great\u00a0ideas never make it out of our heads. We kill them automatically\u00a0before they even have a chance to see the light of day or the\u00a0support of anyone else. This not only kills the idea, but it can\u00a0slowly crush your spirit and drain your energy.<\/p>\n
