# [[My Ideas By Someone Else]] #Self_Awareness #Emotions #My_Quirks #Innovation #Creativity When I see someone do something unique that I had thought of or wanted to do (like a business or a creative idea) ... I actually feel really good! Ok, there are a few seconds or minutes of some negative emotions and thoughts, but after that passes, I genuinely feel multiple positive feelings and thoughts that remain). 1 - I feel proud of myself being able to think of this before others, ESPECIALLY if it is something that has been on my mind for a long time, maybe years. 2 - If it's executed nicely, I even enjoy it, if it's a creative work, or buy it, if it is a product. 3 - I think: after all, what I wanted when I had this idea was to see a world where this thing exists. And now it DOES! 4 - I now get a FREE and REAL market test to learn from (if I choose to keep pursuing the idea with my own vision). 5 - If it's a business, then someone did a lot of the dirty work at their expense. This is an opportunity for me to partner with them, or take over if they fail !😛 If the business is successful, I can leverage the market interest by offering a better version. Do I feel jealous, envious, defeated, guilty, failure? Heck, yes, of course! But only for a few minutes. > [!seealso] Related Thoughts > >- [[🤹 Making Peace With My Many Passions]] >- [[Jack of All Trades]] Published: May 06, 2024
