Millions of Ideas, questions, strategies
Ever have a raging amount of enthusiasm from ideas, and you need to share them right now? You must get somebody else in on this right away? You can’t rest until something is answered? The idea is just too spacey until you can get another persons mind into it. I’ve been plagued with this for the past few weeks. Sometimes I want to get on the phone and call my friends and clients, even ones I haven’t talked to in a while. Or jump in the car and just drive over to one of their houses unannounced. Show up and say, “Hey I gotta run this by you, see what you think.” Or “I need your help, how do you….?”
I’ve managed to keep it subtle. Friendly and casual emails. Thankfully some of my friends have been responsive too, willing to help. But when it’s 6:30 am on a Sunday morning and you just want to ’strategize’ with people, even on something not that exciting, it’s humorously painful. This need that is terrorizing me, I’m chalking up to being a little too reclusive in my lifestyle. It’s good and bad I suppose. You can’t learn without focusing on your own away from distraction, and if a side effect is a sensation that’s igniting a fire, I appreciate its usefulness. No matter what, you need others at points to build up excitement and carry it through. It takes groups of people more often to invent something vastly important or helpful and rewarding. But it’s 6:30 in the morning! Why must I be so energetic at the strangest hours? Why can’t my friends, for no reason just be up and ring my phone right now and say “Hey I’m listening, what can I do?”
I suppose this could be a cue for me to remember that I can be a source of energy and ideas and answers when my friends and family want to do something new and special, give them support, help inspire it to actually happen for them. See the idea, help flesh it out with them. Get excited about it.
