A Single Idea Can Transform a Life, a Business, a Nation, A World. - Dan Zadra
A while back, I saw the above quote on Pam Garrison's blog. I love ideas!!! When I come up with new ideas, I hold them tightly to my heart for the promise that they may ultimately bring.
I believe that ideas are like fragile little buds that have to be carefully nurtured. You can't give up on them too soon or they will wither away beyond your grasp. You need to record your ideas. Then, you can reflect back on your initial creative bursts - and grow them into full-fledged opportunities or projects.
When I work in my Studio, or troll the Internet, torrents of ideas seem to floor my mind. Usually, I grab the closest scrap of paper and jot down my thoughts for safe keeping. These little paper scraps eventually pile up. And then I become dismayed at the mess that I created on my desk.
I did try to neatly record, and organize, my ideas in a small, hardcover book. But, when new inspirations came to me, I soon started scribbling my thoughts all over the pages of the book in a Mad Hatter-type of frenzy. So I gave up on organizing my ideas and decided to be messy.
Months later, when I sort through my paper scraps, or scribbled book pages, I rediscover these small treasures of thoughts. And then I am so glad that I saved them because they inspire me anew to create future projects.
What do you do with your ideas?
