A Useful Garden

The Idea - the 40 Servants deck

Welcome to this week's installment of Service Saturday.

In care of self or others. Offered to this world or one beyond. There are many ways to be of service. Here you’ll find one.

Service Saturday Reading for August 14, 2021:

Are you filled to the brim with intriguing ideas? Do you struggle to bring them into the world? The Idea is here for a chat.

The Idea speaks to creativity, originality, and inspiration, but more so, it calls for you to harness the raw energy of those primal forces and make them manifest.

Don't allow your inspiration to languish! All to often we allow revolutionary concepts to perish in the realm of "the possible" without drawing them into the realm of "the actual". For every idea called into existence, a countless number are lost. 

If you refuse this call to action, the Idea is not one to linger. 

Like a rare flower, you'll soon find that initial bloom of brilliance withers when ignored. If you don't endeavor to cultivate an idea, you may soon find it thriving elsewhere, under more attentive hands.

The Idea reminds us that a useful garden is a well-tended one, and to act "someday" may result in a hungry, barren present. 

How to be of Service - Ideas require action to become reality. If you are sitting on an idea that could better the world, ask yourself why. If you tell yourself "someday", ask yourself "why not today"? 

How might you take action in spite of your doubts?
