That was my idea!
Often times you can fall in love with an idea and think you are so brilliant for having the idea. You feel good about yourself for developing what you think is a good idea and you go around telling others your good idea in hopes that they too feel inspired by the idea because this secretly validates the “good idea” feeling that you may be experiencing.
Ideas are important to everything, it helps us improve products, save time, make things more efficient and either make or save us money. However, sometimes our egos become attached to an idea and we run with it without evaluating its efficacy because we think since the idea came from us it makes us important or special in some way.

With self-command you can gently look at where you would like to achieve more success and explore that area of yourself for evidence and clues to find the keys that manifest the success you envision.
Find the clues
Success leaves keys and clues and one of the most overlooked keys to success is your “life force.” You will not have strong success without your life force being fully engaged.
