All ideas are great and completely useless unless you put them in practice. I realize this aspect in my work. I have tones of ideas but when it comes to transforming them into reality, it becomes a bit tricky. Why? I am not really sure, but it has something to do with philosophy. When I was younger the main question was “how?” – hot to transform an idea into reality, growing up the main question has become “why?” – why transform something into reality.
The problem with ideas is that they are perfect, while the finish product may not be so great. That explains to a certain extent my attitude. The other thing is that after many, many ideas turned into reality you are left with an inner hunger. You don’t think small scale anymore. You think large, grand, and grand ideas are very hard to put into practice by yourself. Most time you need a good team to work with you on them. And here is where my second problem kicks in. I don’t seem to be able to surround myself with the right people to put the ideas into practice.
This would not be a problem, but they say that we attract people that have the same vibration as we do. And this raises a question in me. Am I capable of implementing big projects? Or am I better suited for small ones? Still have to find out, I have contributed to some large projects and the satisfaction you get from a successful one is great. Also the lessons you learn are great.
But does the scale really matter? Is this a contest? Is bigger better? I believe that as long as we are doing something we are on the right track, and that is what is important. Life will unfold itself and eventually we will get bigger and bigger challenges as we move up the chain.
Until then let’s enjoy the small one!
