We live in an age where ideas get bounced around like popcorn kernels in a sizzling hot pan. They get bounced around in our head and in the boardroom and around the internet.
Ideas are everywhere. And ideas are easy. What is hard is choosing your idea. Getting committed to it. Taking responsibility for seeing it through in a way that practices responsibility toward others. We can get up every day and hide behind "I don't have a good idea." Which promptly becomes another day spent NOT pursuing the ideas we've always had. Most ideas that become something in this world weren't original ideas. They were ideas brought to life by someone who chose an idea they heard somewhere else, then chased it down like it was their own. New ideas are not what separates dreams and dreams come true in this world. Choosing ideas is. Choosing ideas with such a fire that leaves the chooser in constant disbelief that the person who originally had the idea didn't chase it down with the fire of a chooser. Constant disbelief they didn't believe in their idea strongly enough to choose it. Today: choose, commit, chase. Let the rest of the world listen to the popcorn bouncing around in the pan while you chase. Because ideas bounce around; reality is chosen. Choose yours.
