What's The Big Idea

So one of the things that happens whenever I do something without knowing the end result is I try to come up with contingency plans. Since I was a little kid, I have been coming up with plans my mom call "schemes" as a defense mechanism when my patience runs out. And guess what?...
I got it from my Daddy! I can hear my father now. Every man has at least four plans at any given time to make sure he can take care of himself and his. Now I certainly believe it is wise to have plans in this life, but I also know through experience that most of the plans I have made never came out exactly how I planned. I call it divinely edited by God. Knowing this, I always knew it would be wise to never place too much confidence in any one plan. But does that stop me from making some elaborate plans? Absolutely not! In fact, I often come up with plans that are almost impossible to achieve. Jokingly, I call these plans my Big Ideas. Today, one of those ideas popped in my head. I thought about starting a movement where I get all the up and coming people in several different genres and we all would talk and share our lives as we try to “make it” to a place of significance. I know. I know. There are a thousand things that could go wrong. And what is significant anyway? But that is what makes the idea a Big Idea. When a idea is improbable, unlikely, and almost certain to fail it becomes a wonderful opportunity for success. But like Jess JessicaInTime always tells me if the idea doesn't succeed then you have an idea that would at the very least shake up your house and teach you something and at the most turn the world upside down. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask a guy named Moses who walked into a concentration country where slave trade was a way of life and went to a King with the big idea of taking his source of income because someone no one has ever seen said so. Now that's a Big Idea!
