How to Benefit from Ideas

For everything that currently exists; it previously was a thought. Ideas if acted on will produce an effect. This effect will be in accordance with your idea if you have acted upon it.

So what is the difference between a thought and an idea? Let us say you have the thought to possibly double your income. A desire to double your income is not enough, it will get you nowhere. A large income is not a cause, it is an effect. So then, we must ask what the cause is. A large income is the result of ideas; ideas that you put into action.

So, let us talk about ideas. Ideas are the catalyst of success. Entire industries have been started with but a single idea. Businesses, fortunes, and even empires have been built on ideas. Everything you buy is the projection of an idea. Strangely, only a few people ever have any faith in the value of their own ideas. Have you ever had an idea and did nothing about it; Then a few weeks or months later you saw the very same thing you thought of on the shelves?

If you have an idea yet take no action you abandon it to the universe. Then in many cases the abandoned idea will form the basis of an outstanding success only it will be by someone else. When it is time for something to come into existence it is because it has been thought of. The person or persons who thought of this thing may not have the means or ability to make it happen so the universe "sub-contracts" and so you are given the idea. This idea is important, if you do not take advantage of this idea and act on it then the universe will give the idea to someone else, and so on until the item has come into existence.

Every patent in the United States Patent Office is the result of an idea. There is a never ending supply of ideas, and the universe will never run out of new stuff. Each new patent issued opens up avenues for countless more patents. For example the automobile is made up of thousands of different patents, and each year's new models include many more. If something exists it can be improved on, if there is a problem it can be solved.
