you may want to acknowledge (at least to yourself) that we get ideas from all over the place, and it probably is more influenced by outside factors than you realize.
I think good ideas come from being in the proper mindset for making good ideas. If you've mentally prepared properly, a supposedly "brilliant" idea you created would have struck you as simply the "right" one, or even just a "good" one, when you made it.
