"Small people talk about other people.Average people talk about things.
Leaders (which is what I want to be) talk about ideas!!!"
I think most of us realize this in the back of our minds, but if you're like me, you need to be reminded every so often.
Where do the greatest ideas come from?
They are a combination of the books we read, the people we associate with and the inspiration that comes from pondering on the previous two!
The other piece of the equation is that we need to speak positively about ideas instead of always talking negatively about them.
Interestingly enough, whose ideas do we usually speak negatively about, other peoples ideas right? When was the last time you were negative and critical about your own great idea?
I'll bet that this is related to the "small people talking about other people" idea!
We can only change the part of the world that we have influence over by talking about positive ideas instead of criticizing someone else's idea!
I'll never forget something Mother Teresa said when asked to join an anti-abortion group, (paraphrasing) I'm not interested in being "anti-" anything, only in being "Pro-" something".
What's your great idea?
Have an awesome day!
