Thoughts Are Fleeting...


On the way to the elevator rocking to “Empire State of Mind” by Jay-Z & Alicia Keys, an inspiring thought flashed into my mind, so I opened my notes app and started typing! When the elevator doors opened, I hopped on and immediately went into a stream of consciousness, unloading my thoughts on the ride down to the 1st floor.

As soon as the brass elevator doors reopened, in came a short burst of air that knocked me off balance for a split second! I quickly gathered myself, jumped off, and rushed over to the lobby seating area to continue writing. 15-minutes later, I had the framework of a 1,300 character LinkedIn post.

This activity cleared my head, which allowed me to begin my jog, knowing that I could revisit that outline at a later date to refine if I so desired.

Undoubtedly, thoughts are fleeting; therefore, when a good idea reveals itself, I recommend that you capture it in some form so that you can come back to it and fully bake it. Who knows, it could be the key that unlocks a significant change in your life. On the flip side, allowing an excellent idea to fade could subject one to the Law of Diminishing Intent, and a valuable thought goes into the abyss, so take action!

That is why I am a firm believer in journaling. Do you keep a journal?

Stay safe!
