Little ideas that tickle and nag and refuse to go away, should never be ignored, for in them lie the seeds of destiny.
-Farmer Hoggett from the movie Babe
Never underestimate the powerful truths tucked into children’s movies. They are written by crafty adults intent on entertaining kid and adult alike. Since the majority of movies I see these days are cartoon based or contain talking animals I have learned to look for the golden nuggets buried in each one. Honestly, kid movies are about the only heartfelt, lesson bearing thing left on the big screen. Babe is an older movie and it is a family favorite.
This line has graced my thoughts many times over the years. It just holds SO MUCH truth. Often we go through life wondering what it is we’re supposed to do when all along there is a tickle in our mind that we never scratch. That thing that won’t let us sleep, that creeps into our dreams when we do and holds our quiet moments ransom. That idea could be your answer.
You know what it is, or if you begin to pay attention you will recognize it. Let this be the month you give your idea some legs and let it run. Your destiny might just be at the finish line.
Please share if you feel inspired and be sure to let me know what idea is being stubborn and sticking around, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
