80%? 120%?

“Listen to your instinct, grab the opportunity when it presents itself and then give it your all”.

My momentum chrome extension displays a beautiful landscape, the time and a daily quote when I open a new tab. I don’t always read the quote, but every now and then I do and invariably end up thinking about it.

I have had an idea in the back of my mind in some shape or form for the past few years. The past few days this idea has been front and centre in my brain. So much so that a couple of days ago I dreamt about this idea. Until this morning the idea was a bit of a nebulous thing. It was there, but I did not have enough clarity about it, I did not know what a successful implementation of the idea might look like.

That changed this morning. Storm Ciara is in full effect. As I was waking up, in that blissful time of waking into awareness and still in a dreamlike state, I could hear the wind. I could feel the gale-force winds in my brain, where it was kicking up all my feelings and thoughts and was shifting things around. In a split second, I had a thought about my idea and I could see what a potential implementation of that idea could look like. Just like that…I knew.

I sat down at my desk, opened my laptop and my browser tab had the above quote.

It seems apt. The question now is what am I going to do with this idea? Will I execute? Will I give it my all?

I hope I do.
