The problem with being a visionary is that you’re wrong.
Actually you’re not wrong. You’re wrong.
And blind.
While exploring your thoughts have you ever seen a flicker of… something? Out there on the horizon - of your thoughts. Not quite graspable, yet definitely… something.
It’s the thing on the horizon of thought that you can’t see. You can only feel.
You’re blind.
And yet it’s the clearest vision of something you’ve (n)ever had.
After feeling the piece you start to build the puzzle. Playing with senses. Turning feel into see.
Suddenly you have it. The feel and the see. The something is truly something.
Have you ever tried sharing the completed puzzle?
No facts. No explainable anything. Simply a vision. It’s almost impossible. They haven’t felt the first piece and you expect them to see the puzzle.
They’re blind.
They’ll equate the vision with change. Change becomes fear. Fear becomes panic. Then there’s no chance for them to see.
You may truly be blind. Or not. They may truly be blind. Or not.
The difference between a visionary and a fool resides in one’s ability to convince others.
So you can work hard and walk people from piece to piece until they too see the puzzle.
But doing that for everyone is inefficient.
You need to motivate others who can now see to help. Leverage them to show others how to see. To show others that you’re not blind.
Of course, you still run the risk of being a fool.
But a bigger fool is one who doesn’t fight for their vision. What’s your vision and what are you doing today to convince someone of it?
