WE ALL HAVE ideas. Ideas are immortal. They last forever. What doesn't last forever is inspiration. Inspiration is like fresh fruit or milk: It has an expiration date.
In the book "ReWork" by Jason Fried, the author emphasizes the distinction between ideas and inspiration. He suggests that while ideas are timeless and can endure indefinitely, the motivation or inspiration behind those ideas is often fleeting and temporary. This indicates that while we all have creative thoughts, the passion that drives us to act on them can diminish over time.
This perspective invites readers to recognize that they should capitalize on their ideas while they are inspired. Just as perishable items like fresh fruit have a limited lifespan, so too does the spark of creativity. Therefore, it is crucial to take action when inspiration strikes, ensuring that valuable ideas are not lost due to a lack of timely execution.
