There’s something magical about an idea—about that little spark inside you that whispers, This is something special. It might be different. It might be unconventional. It might not make sense to the people around you. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worthy. That doesn’t mean it isn’t brilliant.
I know this because I’ve been there.
Bringing Ploppals to life has been a giant leap of faith. It’s been both exhilarating and terrifying, filled with moments of doubt and so many How am I going to do this? thoughts. And honestly? Not everyone in my circle understands my vision. Not everyone sees what I see. But I keep going because I believe in it. I believe in turning frowns upside down, one quirky little toy at a time. I believe in giving people a way to connect, to uplift each other during life’s messier moments.
And if you have an idea—something you’re passionate about, something that lights a fire in your heart—you need to believe in it too.
Because here’s the truth: Your ideas matter.
Even if others don’t see their value yet.
Even if they seem impossible or too big or too “out there.”
Even if people tell you You can’t.
When that happens, listen to the voice inside you that says, How can I?
That question—How can I make this happen?—is what keeps ideas alive. It’s what turns visions into reality. It’s what pushes us forward when things get hard.
And guess what? Every endeavor, whether it goes exactly as planned or takes unexpected turns, teaches us something. It shapes us. It strengthens us. It helps us grow.
So if you’re sitting on an idea that means something to you, don’t let doubt—yours or anyone else’s—convince you to abandon it. Nurture it. Explore it. See where it takes you.
Because the world needs your unique brilliance. And you? You are more capable than you know. 💛
With gratitude,
