Idea & you

I was talking to a senior colleague about the ideas we generate. It was an informal exchange on ideas and their nature. Their ability to make us feel in a certain way, their ability to make things happen & bring about change.
While still on the topic we realized how the best ideas that we have had, have almost always made us feel in a certain way; have intoxicated us while we willingly submitted to their spell.

Great ideas are like that, they are powerful enough to drive us as individuals and potent enough to convince and convert a larger group into a convert.
When we have a great idea that we truly believe in, it shows in our expressions, our voice, our gestures and almost everything that we do.
A great idea is almost like an organism in itself. It has a mind of its; it has the power to make people around do what it wants them to and most of the time it uses us as the medium to make it happen.

When we have a great idea we do not possess it; it possesses us.
