“It asks us to trust. And have faith. And not be afraid to be vulnerable and intimate. And, most of all, to live in the invisible spaces. The spaces where we can’t control everything. The spaces where we can’t always see the magic, but we can trust it’s there.”
“When we know our essence and build a life that can contain that essence, we’re no longer the victim that needs saving or despair. We’re the geniuses of our own lives. And we’re here to share our gifts with the world.”
“We visionaries are going to be overwhelmed. We just need to face the facts. Because the big vision we see in our minds—so complete and visceral and real and alive—doesn’t match up to the unclimbed mountain we have before us.”
“But, so often, we visionaries get so seduced by the wonders of the mind that we miss out on action. Because the dreaminess of the possibilities is a lot more exciting than the reality.”
“It’s kind of like a fish trying to climb a tree all day, getting exhausted, and then wondering why it’s always hungry. It’s not that the fish isn’t capable of hard, important things. It’s just that it’s focusing on areas where it doesn’t shine.”
“A lifetime of that way of being—the excitement-disappointment cycle—is enough to erode any sense of self-trust for even the most devoted visionary.”
