Ideas are thought seeds. And like all seeds, they require sunlight and water to grow.

The sunlight is your attention. Pondering, thinking, mulling over, dwelling on. Much like meditation but instead of trying not to have thoughts – you focus all your concentration on the idea.

Someone said ‘Thinkitate’ or ‘Thinkitation’. Which is easier than meditation – leave that to the Zen Masters.

The water is your action. Each and every day you should take small steps toward making your idea a reality. And I mean baby steps.

Bob (from the 1991 film ‘What about Bob?’) said it best… ” baby steps to the elevator… baby steps to the elevator… baby step onto the elevator… baby step into the elevator… I’m in the elevator…” (now, there’s a throw back… and it’s not even Thursday! consider yourself blessed.)

Without sunlight and water, seeds remain dormant. Thought seeds, too, require both to grow.

Have you tended your mind garden lately?
