Are ideas today's currency?

I have a good friend that's a lawyer and he said recently the "ideas are today's currency." I pondered that for a moment and said, "No. I disagree. Unimplemented ideas are nothing but clutter in your mind." Lucky for me he's a good friend because that WAS a rather abrupt comment on my part. But today I ran across this quote which brought me back to that conversation.

"A thought that does not result in action is nothing much, and an action that does not proceed from thought is nothing at all." - Georges Bernanos

Rarely have I seen a quote that I agree with more. You see I have great ideas almost every day, yet most of them are unimplemented and therefore not much at all. Those ideas that I HAVE implemented result in something positive. Even those ideas that turn out to have less than stellar results always propel me on to something further. Something bigger and better. So as you go through life in your business; life in your law practice, don't just think up great ideas. Go out there and do something to change your life. Do something to change those aspects that you're unhappy with. If you aren't living life to it's fullest, its no one else fault but yours.
