“Our genius is always there, embedded in our visions. And our visions are always embedded deep within our intuitive compulsions—within the things we feel called to do but don’t know why.”
“It’s frustrating—as visionaries, it’s frustrating to see a vision so clearly and know we’re meant to do something big and then see little to no momentum. We can feel the potential. But the first few days, weeks, months, or even sometimes years can be slow moving. Slow enough to make us doubt ourselves and want to give up.”
“We visionaries are creators. And the role of the creator isn’t so much to always create and live in perfection; it’s to trust that we can always create out of any materials. Even the darkest, most challenging materials. Because we are visionaries. We are creators. We can see possibilities where others cannot.”
“We visionaries are experts at knowing what happens when we don’t get what we need. Because we’ve lived an entire lifetime of that. We know that we very quickly wilt away from our genius. So much so that we stop believing we have a genius in us at all.”
“Could claiming our “ugliness” and being unafraid to look it in the eye be the key to loving it into genius?”
“For us visionaries, self-trust is a hard thing. It’s been eroding since the moment of our birth. Every time someone told us we were ‘too sensitive’ about that joke or ‘too emotional’ about that work situation, we subtly learned not to trust ourselves.”
