It's so easy to plan, but it's a lot harder to execute. The number of times I've allowed myself to think are innumerable, but that's all I ever do:
Think.
There's something phantasmal about an idea. When it's floating in your head, its potential for permutation is unlimited. Maybe that's why we never let an idea go anywhere. We're content to marvel at its raw crystalline nature. We accumulate piles of gold nuggets and freshly mined diamonds but they alone are worth nothing without a bit of polishing.
Why is it so hard to make that jump? To turn idea into action? Are we afraid that the action can't live up to the idea, or even worse -- that the idea was never good to begin with?
The solution is refinement.
It's easy to think, but it's much harder to translate your electric brain impulses into something communicable. Too many people stay dormant, unwilling to push their ideas forth, and too many others leap into action without taking the time to refine.
Refinement is the missing link.
