~ Deep breath ~
I believe in my idea. Sometimes I see people on TV that are inventors who really believe in their product, but the invention's the most ridiculous thing on Earth. And it's soooo painful to see people sell off all they have to invest in this... one... really... bad... idea. It's the same feeling when you see the people with terrible voices audition for American Idol... you wince when you see them. Some of them honestly have NO IDEA what they really sound like. I'm so scared of becoming like that. "Like what, delusional?" my friend asks. Yes, delusional. I'm scared of becoming delusional.
So to say that I believe in this idea... that it really could change the world... well, that's a pretty bold statement. And there's a strong possibility that even if the idea gets selected, I may never receive any of the credit. No glory. No fame. Nothing. Could I die in peace knowing that maybe God raised me up for this purpose - to pioneer an idea and to never gain any glory from it? Knowing my sinful nature, you don't have to dig deep to extrapolate the answer, "Probably not."
Sad.
But deep down, I mean, if you dig deeeeeeeeeeeep down, you just might hear the faint pulse of my soul's desire to cry out, "Soli de Gloria".

That's a problem that we all have - lack of perspective.
