People often times think that ideas just come randomly while you are walking down the street. In reality good ideas come when you are executing on something and in the thick of it you see an angle.
People may argue that you need passion for a startup idea, but you alway end up falling in love with an idea over time, not from day one. Arguably if you are in love with an idea from day one its dangerous because you are likely to miss an angle or clear warning signs that you are doomed.
