Ideas and babies often share a lot in common when they are born.
Both require a lot of nourishment to survive. A new idea, no matter its size, may not be able to withstand any negative feedback when you first give it birth.
When coming up with an idea that is outside the box, it's important to remember to share it only with like-minded people and keep your circle small.
If you're working on something different and want a little support and encouragement,
try talking to someone who may give you some insight into areas of your work you never considered before.
Here is an added word of caution. Contrary to popular belief, the individual who will offer the most support might not be the person that you would initially think of as a "great achiever." The important part here is that they just need to be someone whom you know will give you all of the mental and emotional support needed.
Throughout history, strong advocates for both self-interest and motivation have had some of their own challenges behind the scenes. Remember that people espousing slogans like "anything is possible" or "you can do anything" is not immaculate; they may have some challenges behind the scenes.
Here are a few examples: 
In 1899 Charles H. Duell said, ?Everything that can be invented has been invented.? Duell was the Director of the United States Patent office that year.
In 1927 Harry M. Warner of Warner Brothers Pictures said, ?Whom the hell wants to hear actors talk??
In 1923 Robert Milliken suggested, ?There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom.? We gave him the Nobel Prize for physics that year.
We have seen this before. It is not uncommon for you to present your idea, only for it to be shot down by those with more power than you, only for the same idea to later become wildly successful. If you are confident in your ideas and believe in yourself, that is all that is required
The Wright brothers were not swayed by Lord Kelvin who was president of the Royal Society in 1895 when he said: "Flying machines heavier than air are impossible."
And, Grover Cleveland would be banned on sight today by at least half of the population with the advice he gave in 1905 when he said that "Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote".
Many people achieved great things, but they often had doubts about the skills of others. Believe in your own abilities and ideas, and share your creations with those who will genuinely support you.
Don?t worry about what others think of your work. It is important to focus on what you want the world to see and how you want the world to see it.
