3 Ways Ideas Are Like Seeds
Ideas are interesting. Some people have loads of them, and others may feel bad that they don't have more. Whichever category you fit in, ideas are like seeds. Here are 3 reasons why.
1) Ideas hold within them the DNA of something bigger. Just like you can't have a plant without a seed, you can't have a next without an idea.
A next chapter, a next plan, a next vacation, a next project, a next relationship, a next job... and the list could, of course, go on and on.
2) IdeasĀ need to be chosen. Seeds can sit dormant for years. My grandfather had many packets of seeds in his garage ready for his garden, but only the ones chosen to be planted got the opportunity.Ā
3) Ideas need to beĀ tended to thrive. Seeds don't grow until they are planted and cared for. Seeds need soil, moisture, and sunlight. Ideas need a place to grow (soil), continued investment and care (moisture), and the right conditions (sunlight). (Seeds also grow best without weeds, but that's a blog for another day...)
