“And Billy Ray wrote a song…”

If you have an idea in your mind today, try to write it down. Once it’s written down, it can be developed. In the written word, thoughts can be articulated that are far more complex and subtle than in the spoken word. Furthermore, your struggle with the idea will give you increased respect for what it takes to get things done. It’s a lot of work, no matter how pleasurable.

If you don’t do this, you could begin veering toward the other end of the spectrum– empty, sterile, cut-downs. And I repeat my frequent warning: such people cannot be banished from society in a democracy, but they can certainly be banished from your own life. You have that power.
