Difference between idea and success

I’ve got an idea. I’ve been chewing on it for about six months. And like a cow chewing his cud, I am still chewing.

I’ve talked to people. I’ve asked questions. I’ve even began to put together documents to show how serious I am about it.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about it. I see it’s need everywhere.

I would go as far as saying that it’s not just my idea, but that it’s a divine idea.

People have even agreed, it’s a good idea.

Unfortunately, it’s still just an idea.

We all have ideas. Some big. Some small. Some hopes. Some dreams.

The difference between an idea and a success? Obedience and unwavering commitment to make the idea a reality.

Success isn’t indicated by money in the bank (although that’s a nice reward); it comes by execution.

You may fail, but failure can also be a success.

What are you waiting for?

You were made for that idea.

You were made for success.

    Read this today and man it hit home. Only difference is I went and acted my idea. There isnt a day that goes by that I dont think Im completely crazy. It has taken all my energy and consumed just about every part of my brainspace. Then I still have to do all the other things you mentioned in your blog today- family time, kid time, husband time, work time (the kind that still makes me money since the new idea, does not). etc etc etc..

    It feels good knowing that I wont second guess myself one day. That I can always say "Hey, I went for it"…but the costs are huge, regardless if you are successful.
    Depends if you are ready for a truly wild ride and you have to be happy just to have gotten on..

    This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "Vision without action is a daydream." I agree completely. Without the diligence and perseverance to make our dreams a reality (Plus a hand from the Almighty) our dreams will never be more than daydreams.

    I agree success should not be measured by the amount of money you make, I think for real happiness you have to do what makes you happy not what makes you money
