The Idea Only You Can Bring to Life

I had a conversation recently with a friend who was about to start a new project. She was excited, but also hesitant and nervous. My encouragement to her was simple: get started. Do it scared, but do it anyway.

Many years ago, I came across a thought that has stayed with me: everything you see around you was once just an idea in someone’s mind. The books on your shelf, the music you love, the chair you’re sitting on. All of it began as imagination. Someone took a step and made it real.

That’s what I reminded my friend: “If you don’t do it, it won’t exist.”

Each of us carries ideas that only we can bring into the world. If we wait until fear disappears, we may never begin. But when we take that first step, small or big, we create space for something new to exist.

This week, consider:

• What idea has been waiting quietly for you to act?

• What’s one small step you might take to move it forward?

Because if you don’t do it, it won’t exist.

I’d love to hear from you. Send me an email and share a project you took on that felt scary, but you did it anyway.

Thank you for being here. I’m glad we’re connected.

With gratitude,

Aderonke
