The cost of being a visionary.

7/8/2012

Those around/closest to you may not:

  • See what you see.
  • Understand what you understand.
  • Care about what you care about -- or if they do, it's to a lesser degree.
  • Be willing to live/die for the same convictions you're willing to live/die for.

These facts should not arouse self-pity, but stamina.

And willingness.

To proceed anyway.

Loneliness is never justification to abandon your vision.

    The question "How are you?" is PROFOUND.

    ​But it has been watered-down to a synonym for "Hello."

    Forced or fake auto-responses of obligated okay-ness are expected.

    (And if you are going through something tragic, it really doesn't matter! Every social encounter OPENS with this well-established Ritual of Insincerity.)

    The question "How are you?" prompts an answer that begins with "I AM _____________." 

    This means many times each day, you are invited to SPEAK THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENT that can be spoken of yourself.

    And the socially-expected thing to do, is be QUICK + SLICK with your answer.

    For a change... TAKE YOUR TIME, and tell your truth.
