Have the vision, lay the foundation even if others don’t see it.  Other people will always see the negative first, especially with things they don’t understand—they struggle to wrap their minds around the as-yet unknown. It’s natural to feel that way because the brain is trained to see danger in the unknown. It can be retrained.  Use the potential we spoke about yesterday to keep moving because the more we move forward, the clearer that vision becomes.  It doesn’t matter what it looks like now as long as we have the vision for what it looks like, as long as we understand what the goal is and go after it, the path will open up.  The way things have been done is so engrained in us that sometimes having an idea outside of the box feels uncomfortable and it can lead to uncertainty about doing things a different way.  The truth is, our visions are for us so that means not everyone will understand what we are doing.  They aren’t meant to.  It’s our job to bring forth the ideas gifted to us. 

Put another way, It isn’t about being accepted or having the vision accepted when we initially talk about it, it’s about the process of creation.  Humans have the deep need to create. Sometimes we are fuzzy on the how, but taking that first step will put us infinitely further ahead than simply dreaming about it.  Use our precious time to create something we love.  This isn’t to say spend our time proving ourselves, it’s to say that when we have that feeling, the spark we know we need to flame into something bigger, there are parts of the course we walk alone.  That process is for us to bring forth something amazing.  When we get these ideas and the inspiration we may not fully understand it at first either and going through the creative process alone allows us to tap into different areas of potential.

The most important take away regarding vision is to never give up on it.  Ideas that are meant for us never leave us especially when they are related to our purpose.  That voice will continually get louder and louder until we do something about it and answer the call.  So even if it feels like something may never come through, walking away isn’t the answer.  Working with it is.  People may be discouraging or fearful of the light we bring with our ideas but that is no reason to keep it in the dark.  The more light we shine on something, the more we can see it and the less scary it is.  And realistically, we will never get everyone on our side anyway.  The important thing is to do the work so we can share our message with those who need it, our people so to speak.  You never know who needs what you have.  No idea is too small or too great—we are meant for it all.
