Starting Something New…

What does it take to start something new? A spark of inspiration, something you see or notice, an idea, a chat with someone, a page in a book or magazine… The list is endless, just as the depths and extents of creativity can be. Ideas could literally be anything, from a new haircut, a new song, redesigning your home or a new business idea.

Perhaps what makes the difference between a good idea and the act of, well acting upon it is the recurrence of an idea. Not every idea is brought to life but I feel the ones that keep coming to visit, over time become the ones that have a chance to thrive and become something.

Time itself is the filter between these, the ones to seize and develop and the ones we unknowingly let go. Just as leaving an essay or piece of writing for a few days provides the chance for it to become better if you let it breath before rereading it with a fresh perspective, a clearer and more critical mind, I feel that the same is true with an idea.

This is how the idea of ‘Positive Nurture’ has made it here. It’s been a recurring thought and inspiration for me over the last few years and in that time I have come back and revisited it. The idea has grown and developed and now, hopefully, with a bit of focus, care and love Positive Nurture will flourish.
