A Thought Gives Birth To Life

The greatest things in life started with just one thought that tumbled into another and got knocked into another and rolled into another and so on and so forth. Yes, all great things start with just one thought. In fact, nothing in our world would exist if there was no thought. We could not create books or computers or franchises. We could not draw pictures or plant flowers in our gardens or have anything to smile about. In fact, if we could not think, we'd be dead... or at least not able to do anything substantial to living.

Inventions start with just a thought, an idea. They are carried out because of necessity or want. A portrait is first an idea, a picture in one's mind. It is not until the paint brush touches the ridges on a canvas that the portrait starts to breathe life. Essentially all things start with thoughts, but it is action that is needed to make them real. But... they still start with a thought.

That is also true of dreams. Your dreams may just be thoughts in your head, but they can give birth to life with your actions, others actions, and a little push can make them a reality. Next time you have an idea, write it down and then pursue it, because everything--great and tiny--start with just a single thought.
