I don’t do a lot. I am first and foremost a thinker. I create, collaborate, influence, mitigate, and propagate the world with dangerous ideas. I move thoughts from the imaginary to the imagined. This in of itself is a useful skill. However, it would be of more use if I didn’t just come up with ideas but saw them through to their fruition. I should have named the blog that.
I should name a company that: Fruition.
I fear what separates people who have great thoughts and people who do things is a fundamental ability or understanding of how to put thought into action. All too often I see ideas I’ve generated and shelved come to fruition through the hard work of another’s hands. I have no animosity towards those people. Often I don’t even know them and we both wound up with the same ideas, but if I had focused on seeing mine through to the end then I might be the one in position to feel the joy of seeing it done.
This is not a blog about being lazy. Certainly there is an element of that in this argument, but it is not the argument itself. I need a team who works together to move an idea to reality or at least to contribute my ideas to a think tank where I can become a stronger thinker, gain more focused ideas, and make enough money to feel secure in my daily life.
Some Thoughts:
- Still learning how to grind; how to make the best and get the most out of the work that I do. Once I figure it out I’ll share it with all of you. There’s gotta be a sequence to such things.
