Summary
This quote suggests that ideas may be the catalyst for action, but it is instinct that provides the preparation or underlying motivation for taking action. Ideas alone are not enough to drive someone to act; it is the innate instincts or impulses that enable individuals to fully commit and make use of those ideas. Instinct represents the characteristic traits or inherent inclinations that influence one's behavior and decisions, necessary to translate ideas into action. Thus, ideas are initiated by the mind, but it is instinct that ultimately empowers and propels individuals to act upon those ideas.
