Imagine you spend weeks pouring gallons of time and energy into a project. You LOVE this project, you think of it constantly. You try to work it out in your head, how to make it better and stronger and more than it is now, it’s your child. You gave birth to it and nurture it and watch it grow. And then, without warning…. it just withers into non-existence. It lays in memory and nothing more. An idea – a great idea. Gone.
Should I be broken-hearted over something that barely began? Should I start again? Will I ever feel so enraptured?
Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Disappointment is normal. Work and energy foster expectation and vision feeds the roots. But without providence and a stroke of good luck, all great ideas can lay waste.
I had a good idea. Too bad.
Guess I’ll have to wait for my next stroke of genius.
