6 Ft Under

They say that everyone has a million-dollar idea. I wonder if “they” are right? 

Some of the very best ideas end up between the ears of a dead guy 6 ft under. Why weren’t they shared? Because sharing is vulnerable. If you let your idea out into the wild, it might get laughed at or criticized. Feeling embarrassed or ashamed is something even “they” want to avoid. 

The fear of this feeling keeps ideas hidden. Hidden because it’s safer. It turns out your humanness has a hard time separating physical pain from emotional pain… It just defaults to playing it safe. 

Playing it safe keeps the ideas the world needs trapped between your ears, and eventually buried for good.

Go make your mark!
