An idea has to be followed by a process of execution, which means that the idea has to be thought out with all of the pros and cons in tact, in conjunction with the "what if's" and all of the "In case of's". In order to have a full fledged 3 dimensional idea, you have to play Devil's advocate, so that everything can be laid out in preparedness for the execution aspect. And when you project all of the dimensions of the idea, when things come up, it's a possibility that those things were anticipated, and worked into the foreseen process, therefore making the "thing" that came up easily handled. Now there will always be things that come up that you didn't expect, because Murphy is always throwing a monkey wrench into the machine. The true test of a well thought out idea, is how that idea functions in its execution form under adversity. And there will be adversity, but from where and what angle? That's a question that gets answered when it happens, and what is usually true is this one aspect: If you want the execution of an idea to work, it has to be in as few hands as possible, which means it should be in your hands. If you care about your idea, and you want no unnecessary hiccups, you will guard the idea like a winning lottery ticket.
There have been too many times that I have seen folks have a sensational plan, and well thought out goals, and someone comes and lets that plan go astray because it managed to get wrestled away from them. The idea, the central crux of execution gets lost in a shuffle of forks, turns, potholes, and misguided intentions on the road to proper deployment of something that is 3 dimensional in thought. A good idea can become a wayward idea in no time flat, and it can be veering toward the ditch before anyone realizes it. Before you know it the bullet train of idea has become a treadmill, getting lost with other wayward mediocre situations. This often happens when the idea gets out of your hands, and out of the original concept of what you were trying to achieve, and that's the moment when most people realize that in order for something to get done, you have to do it yourself. Not only do you have to do it yourself, but you have to arrange it so that only you can do it.
Actions always speak louder than words, and in the case of the word "Do", it is most conducive to observation, because the folks who talk the loudest, produce the least, while the folks who just put their heads down and do, are the folks who control their ideas, and execute to perfection just what they said they would do. They never relinquished control of their idea, and they just quietly went about their business until their idea became a well oiled machine of efficiency. And most important is that they still never say a word. Their work speaks for itself, because they do it themselves, and avoid the B.S. of others fumbling their idea. If it is your idea, only you can put the heart, soul and imagination into what needs to be done to make it successful. Your M.O. should be the circle of you and as few people as possible. The more people that get involved in what you try to do, the more ways that it can get screwed up, overlooked, neglected, or just plain ruined. Out of those situations can be a complete rebirth as you now understand just what has to be done, and renewed objectives that can be pulled from it. Those situations can actually be better, because if your idea has weathered those situations then it is a great idea to be continued, and made better by no one but you.
The simple fact is that people can screw up anything if you let them, it is up to you to get the answers to fix it, and move forward. And you may just find out that everything will fall into place just like you foresaw it, once you take charge and do things yourself. There are many folks who will complain about a situation, or fall into the trap of belief that they can't do anything, and yet others will just be pissed about some aspect that they have control over. The idea is to channel that frustration and anger into the process of taking control of the situation. Life is full of these little skirmishes that test your meddle, will, and shape how you conduct yourself under these odds. it is important to stay focused, and engaged in the process of foothold. And that foothold is where your idea, and your execution come together, run by you, and presented the way you saw it.
Remember that it is all right to fail. Most people want to be in charge when things are smooth, but lay blame when things are not. When you are in charge, there is you, and if you are successful then wonderful. If you fail, then that's OK. The most successful folks in the world failed numerous times, and had to redirect their idea. But the fact that they were in charge of it was huge, as they could mold the new phase of their plan to be continued. So close your circle, and align yourself with doers and not talkers, because when someone is talking, then they are not executing, so why be around it. What you want to do should be self deployed, and operated by yourself, because you have the greatest interest in the outcome.
Roll with the wheels, get run over by them, or drive...Trust me, it is better being the driver.
