Have you had an idea you’ve been thinking about these past few hours? These past few days? Weeks? Maybe even years?
Ideas are the first step to innovation, but sometimes we become so enchanted by our ideas that we get stuck and don’t move forward to make them happen with action.
Ideas can be fun and exciting, but when we romanticize them and don’t take initiative to translate them to action, we can fall in love with the ideal of the idea versus the actual idea itself. This can ruin our excitement about the actual idea and make it extremely difficult to like let alone love it and the work necessary to bring the actual idea to life.
So our ideas remain trapped, unrealized.
If you are excited by an idea, get curious and excited about doing the work to make it happen. Find the charm in experimenting with taking the next step to realizing the minimum viable version of your idea.
And then take the step and go from there.
When you do, maybe you’ll become enchanted with the journey of bringing your idea to life, which is far more productive.
