A Big Idea

A Big Idea

J.K. Rowling, famous for the Harry Potter series, gave the commencement address at Harvard in 2008.  In that speech she was reflecting on a time in her life when the world seemed against her.  Funds were tight, life was hectic, and the daily grind was very daily.

She said this:  “I had a daughter, whom I adored, a typewriter and a big idea.”

She had a big idea.  I love that.

-Bill Gates had a big idea which became Microsoft.

-He and Melinda had a bigger idea and created the Gates Foundation.

-Steve Jobs had a big idea and it became Apple Computers.

-Jeff Bezos had a big idea which turned into Amazon.

-Michael Phelps had a big idea and he became an Olympic winner.

-Wayne Gretzky had a big idea and he became a great hockey player.

-Yo-Yo Ma had a big idea and became a world-class cellist.

And the list goes on.

Have you found your big idea?  It’s there.  Somewhere inside of you beats that something that is your big idea.  Listen to it.  Listen to your heart.  What do you think about in your idle moments?  Where does your mind turn when you think of your future and your dreams and hopes?

That is where your big idea is hiding.

My big idea?

I want to write the blog heard round the world.  I’m approaching my third anniversary as a blogger.  Every day I write something that moves me one notch closer to my dream.  I have a big idea.

I’m on the road toward my big idea.

There is room for you.  I’d welcome the company.
