I was reading "Born of This Land" by Chung Ju-Yung, the founder of Hyundai, and one passage stopped me, causing me to whip out my legal pad and really think it through.
“When a small idea, the size of a grain of rice, is implanted in my mind, I nurture it until it grows into a major project I can visualize in my head.”
That’s the key.
Most people dig up their seed(s) too early.
They let circumstances, rejection, or bad news convince them it's not possible.
But if you’re blessed with a thought, plant it.
Protect it.
Nurture it.
Visualize it.
And don’t sabotage it with your own words, actions, or habits (nor anyone else's words, actions, or habits.)
This episode serves as a reminder to stop giving your energy to doubt and start directing it toward what you say you want. If people tell you you’re crazy, you’re probably on the right track.
