Ideas are like bubbles: after they’re formed, some remain for a while, while others burst quickly.
As kids, we enjoy making soap bubbles and playing with them. As we grow up, we stop doing that.
Both young and adult minds similarly have dozens of ideas bubbling and bursting inside every day. But, many people choose not to play with them.
How do you play with your own idea bubbles?
A great way to play with idea bubbles it to put them down as writings: writing a journal, a daily diary, blog posts, or even a short book.
Penning your ideas is a great way to de-congest your mind and make space for new ideas. It helps you review and remember old ones, or even remix ideas together to make new ones.
Above all, it helps you look at what your mind is up to.
Interesting things happen when you put these ideas out in the open. By penning your ideas as blog posts and promoting them a little so that they are visible to the public, you can start attracting attention.
As you keep building the idea bubbles, many will quickly burst, but some will endure and resonate with readers.
If an idea resonates well with a large enough audience, it is a good foundation for i2r (idea to reality). You might then decide to work on a particular idea to bring it to reality.
All this only has a chance of happening if you keep making the idea bubbles, and let them out in the open. Take a chance, make the bubbles, and play with them at will.
