You are a brilliant person. You have ideas that come to you all the time. The trouble is, you have a hard time convincing people that the idea is a reasonable, and valid path to take.
When that happens, you get flustered and frustrated and walk away in disgust.
You played baseball or softball right. Remember the first lesson about fielding grounders? Stay with the ball.
Wait, the first rule was, “Keep your eye on the ball”. Then, “Stay with the ball”.
Either way, stay with the idea. Let it be rejected, for now. Find out why it didn’t get put through. Tune it up and tweak the details.
Then push it back through. It is a great idea, it just needs some grease on the wheels. If you do not stick with the idea, you will see it rolling out under someone else’s banner a few miles down the road.
At that point, all you have is shrugging shoulders and a pathetic, “That was my idea” on your lips.
