"It All Started With An IDEA..." Thapelo Jonas
Good morning Destiny Partner. I really relish the prospect of writing to you every morning. I am so excited about what this group is accomplishing in many people’s lives, continue to invite as many of your friends as possible to Destiny AWAITS.
In today’s main essay, I want to speak to you about the impact that your friends or people that you choose to surround yourself with, have in what you eventually become. How they influence your thoughts, eventually your output. But above all, i want to show you how an idea in your mind can be transformed into a solution benefitting the world.
The bible declares in Proverbs 23: 7: “…As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he…” That is one of the most powerful scriptures in the bible. It carries lot of substances in many regards. One, our thoughts really contribute to who we eventually become.
I don’t know about you but I think it is, therefore important to protect channels through which thoughts are created.
Can I go a little bit deeper?
#1. Every Big Thing Started as an IDEA
Some of the greatest businesses of our generation originate in the minds of ordinary people. The expansion of McDonalds franchise was once an idea in the mind of Ray Kroc. The development of a V8 engine was once an idea in the mind of Henry Ford. Access to a personal computer was once an idea in the mind of Bill Gates and today every household in America has a personal computer.
I am trying to tell you; every big business venture we respect today, started as a minute idea in the mind of somebody. The Virgin Group was once an idea in the mind of Richard Branson. And today that group has over 300 subsidiaries.
I don’t know what ideas are in your mind today but 20 years from now, someone must say, it started as an idea…
It all started with an idea…
#2. Every IDEA has to go through a PROCESS
Have you ever wondered what distinguished these great mavericks in business from everybody else?
I got it. They understood the process and allowed it to take its course over the ideas. I am going to show that the processes behind ideas are more automatic than anything else. I probably lost you there, right?
Let me demonstrate what I mean? I am going to use two dynamic processes to explain this phenomenon. I will cut corners in order to save space.
One, how does rain come about? The clouds come together and when they are full they empty themselves, right? The emphasis been…when they are full they empty themselves. Two, how does a child get to be born? Let me cut corners here to save space…a mother becomes pregnant and in 9 months a child is born.
Let’s go deeper. What is pregnancy? Carrying something in a womb long enough until its big enough to survive by itself on the outside…how am I doing? After 9 months…the child is big enough to survive on the outside…what does he/she do? They want to get out and the mother is compelled to push….
Can you guys see where I am going with this?
How does that relate to an idea in your mind...?
When you constantly think about an idea, your mind becomes full of it. And when your mind is full of it then everything has to make way for it to become the physical reality. But the secret is to be consistent in your ideas. One scripture says, “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
Fill your mind with an idea…constantly think about it. Surround yourself with people that make it bigger than it is in your mind. Read books that make your idea better. And takes small steps towards making your idea a reality…
Remember I said earlier…a mother has to push. Therefore, you will also have to push your idea out. T hat means ACTION…ACTION…ACTION….
And before you know it….
#3. Every IDEA has potential to become a global solution
In 20 or 30 years from now, your today’s idea must have transformed to become a global solution. You will be the Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Dr. David Molapo, John Tibane of the next generation…
Yours In Motivation…
