Looking at the lives of the men in Shinar who had the big idea of building a tower whose top may reach heaven, there is a pattern we can mirror in processing ideas.
Genesis 11:4
"And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
Steps in Processing Ideas
① Write the idea down, Make it plain!
A key step in between having a thought and taking successful action is bringing a thought from inside yourself to the outside. As soon as you write down an idea, your brain really takes it seriously.
② You need to be resolute and be determined
The idea(s) that seems impossible is actually possible with determination and being resolute. When you look at the lives of these men, you see the determination at which they take on such a daunting task.
③ Focus
Due to the thousands of thoughts generated per day, most people find it difficult to stay on track in life, learn to stay with one idea per time.
④ Right Association
No matter how beautiful your idea(s) can be, with the wrong association(s), they will most likely downplay it with mere words with words like,you are a joker;who has ever done that bla bla bla which may discourage or weigh the burning idea down thus the need for the right company, people of like minds and with tools to help you.
⑤ Impact
When you look at these men, they want a name, they desire impact, they want to immortalize themselves even when they're no more. That's a drive.
⑥ Believe
They were men who believed in making what seems an impossible idea regardless of the challenges to being possible. You need to believe in your ideas even when no one else does.
An unprocessed idea no matter how beautiful it is, becomes a total waste, the best it can be is a potential.
... Small minds gossips, average minds discuss events, great minds discuss ideas, You're too loaded to fail on this planet!
