An idea without a plan

What we manifest begins with a thought or an idea. Every manmade item around you is the result of a vision that its creator had as to what it would eventually look like. While we usually think of these items as the creation of a famous inventor such as Edison, you have been instilled with the same ability. It shows up when you do even simple things like writing a grocery list or thinking about a vacation. That is where it begins. Now ask yourself what would happen if you never attached an action to that idea. Without an action plan, it would only remain an idea. Where does this most often show up for us? It comes in the form of “I’ve always wanted to” or “I wish I had” statements. It is at times like this that we need to ask ourselves why we didn’t take the steps to manifest our ideas. Most often it stems from “I’ll do that when I have the time” or “I can’t afford to do that” self-talk. In some cases it is legitimate to not follow through on an idea such as when the opportunity is no longer available. This is the time to evaluate your ideas to determine which ones are still important to carry out. If you’ve always wanted to travel to a far off land, begin to gather information about it as the start of your plan. Your ideas are endless. What idea do you have today that needs a plan to go with it?
