(I) God has given us sound minds (II Timothy 1:7) you need to put your mind to work. Let it explore and search out inspired ideas that can change your life, business, organization, career, home, etc. Your mind is sufficiently equipped by God to fashion out creative and revolutionary ideas that can help you surmount the most difficult of life’s challenges. But it will not except you cure it of mental laziness, and get it to work and deliver ideas.
(II) You need to screen your ideas. Can it stand the test of implementation? Is it an idea of the past, present or future? You need to research your ideas and make thorough investigations. Ask questions until you are sure they are worthwhile ideas.
(III) You must protect ideas. Premature exposure of ideas or exposure of ideas to wrong people can kill your golden ideas. Or ideas thieves can steal and ruin your ideas. Learn to be circumspect and wise when handling, screening, researching, pursuing and implementing your ideas.
(IV) You must implement worthwhile ideas. The ultimate of ideas is implementation, not endlessly fantasizing with them or bragging about your great ideas. Get to work. Like Theodore Roosevelt said, “the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by sweat and dust and blood…” Get into the arena and be counted.
