An idea is a thought or plan of action that comes to people spontaneously or through mental stimulation. Every day, thousands of thoughts pass through our minds. Most of them are meaningless, but some are so powerful that they have the potential to change our lives. An idea is the strongest currency, as well as the most valuable commodity in the world. The difference between success and failure is the strength of your ideas. Every business, enterprise, architectural masterpiece, engineering feat or invention is the product of someone’s idea.
What if
What if I told you that the most successful people are not necessarily the smartest, or even the most hardworking? Their only fortune is that they came up with ideas that others did not have or were not motivated enough to pursue. What if I told you that great ideas are not limited to only a chosen few, but that all of us can create atmospheres around us to make it easier to come up with great ideas? Well, I just did!
Be proactive
You must do whatever it takes to be better informed – reading this article is a step in the right direction. But, you must do more. The reason is simple: the quality of ideas your mind is able to attract or handle depends on the quality of your mind, which in turn depends on the quality of information you have.

Learn to practice the discipline of inner quietness. Most of the time, our minds are loud; always trying to figure out all the different challenges and pressures we face daily. It is helpful to find a quiet place regularly where you can hear yourself think. When you are quiet inside, your intuition becomes sharper. Thoughts and pictures flash through the mind and you will be able to capture them better.
Always be prepared
Be sensitive and fully present in every situation you find yourself in. Also, be careful to document ideas as they come to you; ideas have a nasty habit of showing up in the most unexpected places. The first author to make over one billion dollars from book sales got the idea while riding on a train to collect welfare money from government because she was poor. Your challenges are about to give birth to some significant ideas. Go for it!
George encourages you to pay attention to your ideas and use them to realize your dreams.
