People without our best interest in mind can choke our Ideas .
An Idea is born by the hundreds of thousands each second and is as diverse as the number of people that occupy this earth . Like the air we breathe , an Idea is essential to life and our welfare . But how many Good Ideas go for wasted because they are disregard at birth ? Perceive to be worthless or even minuet ? Throwing away your Idea is altering your life , purpose and your contribution to society . We all are born with purpose which is revealed in the thoughts of our mind ... our Ideas . Therefore , it is essential that you Protect Your Ideas . There is not a soul that is not able to think back on their many Ideas and consider what they would be worth today if they were pursued or properly cultivated . Your Ideas are the seeds of your brain of which great things grow . What happened to your Good Ideas ? I ' m reminded of the great Bible story of the Sower of Seeds ( Matthew 13 : 1-9 ) which gives clarity of the path many of our Ideas take . The Ideas produced by our brain like the Seeds of the Sower are scattered in different directions . Some seeds fell by the wayside , and the fowls came and devoured them up . These are our Ideas that we don ' t fully understand and quickly disregard . We look back and someone else is implementing them and profiting greatly from what was once our Idea .
Some seeds fell upon stony places , where they had not much earth and forthwith they sprung up , because they had no deepness of earth , when the sun was up , they were scorched , and because they had no root they withered away . These are our Ideas we failed to properly develop by not getting the proper training or education . We got the Idea and just ran with it without commitment , dedication and due diligence .
Some seeds fell among thorns and the thorns sprung up , and choked them . These are our Ideas we do not place as priority , giving more importance to other things less significant . A dead-end job we don ' t even desire can choke our Ideas . People without our best interest in mind can choke our Ideas . Many times people will try to replace your Ideas with their Ideas , again - choking our Ideas .
However , some seeds fell into good ground and brought forth fruit , some a hundredfold , some sixtyfold , some thirtyfold . These are our Ideas that become Good Ideas because we viewed them as not being feeble , but gifts from God designing our pathway to future success and purpose . Your Idea today may be the next best invention . Your Idea today may be the next successful business . Your Idea today may be a medical break-through .
Cherish your Ideas . Share them only with others who have proven to have your best interest at hand . Only those who have built upon their own Ideas successfully can help nourish your Ideas . For better or worse , you are defined by your Ideas . If your mind can conceive it , and your heart can believe it , you can achieve it .
