In one of my favorite books, “Return from Tomorrow,” George Ritchie shares the account of his 9 minute death and subsequent visit to the spirit realms. He saw people in various locations. Some were still tied to their old lives and others had moved on.
He saw a heavenly lab where ideas were created and dropped like lightning bolts onto the earth. Raining ideas on everyone. Those who were in tune, picked them up. Of those, a few took action and implemented them. I like that way of looking at inspiration.
I think that’s why we get three asteroid movies released at the same time! Lol
In my opinion, you don’t own an idea until you implement it. And even then there’s probably someone else out there who got it at the same time you did and implemented it with their own spin. So more likely, ideas aren’t owned at all.
In fact, ideas are rained down on us to serve and bless lives. We’re all building and improving on ideas… Hopefully for the benefit of society.
Some people obsess so much over ownership of an idea, they forget that it’s all about serving others. When Moses was called by God to deliver the Children of Israel, he kept making excuses about how he was a nobody and he couldn’t speak. God kept painting a picture of Israel’s deliverance and reminded him of His power. In other words, “This isn’t about you, Moses. Get your ego out of the way and let Me bless lives and liberate people through you!”
I think when ego’s in the way there are two main groups of people. Those who won’t implement because they are concerned they’ll look dumb or fail, and those who implement because they want all the glory and accolades. Both of them forget the real purpose behind the idea… To be of service.
So when a great idea strikes, forget yourself, think of the lives it will bless and get to work!
