Has anyone ever said to you “That’s a brilliant idea?”

If so, what did you do next?

Did you act on your idea and bring it to fruition?

If not, why?

If you didn’t, you have closed off the channel that gives you ideas. These ideas are gifts from the creator, and you would not get them if you were not capable of achieving them.

Friends and relations can get in the way of your brilliance.

Being brilliant is a solitary effort. The burden is on you. But burden is the wrong word. It’s more like responsibility. You have a responsibility to bring your brilliance into the world. You are unique and so are your brilliant gifts.

I believe one brilliant idea leads to another. I have been operating on that premise ever since I was laid off from my job.

When we think about the past, especially when we think of bad or sad things that have happened to us in the past, it is a sign that we are not making ourselves busy enough with good fresh ideas.

Dwelling on the past is the enemy of making progress. It leads nowhere fast.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT LEADS TO BRILLIANCE?

Attaining brilliance is a journey, and the only way to get there is by taking little steps every day. What have you done today that leads to brilliance?
