Visionaries are the one's who feel the possibilities lurking in the periphery. They know "it" already exists because they dare to listen. When we turn to look, the possibilities become a point of experience; they manifest based on our own personal perception. It's the simple laws of Quantum Physics revealed, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

We used to tell our students if they truly desired something that would benefit the Greater Good, put it out there. Dwell on it. The Universe will conspire to make it happen. You can imagine the overall reaction to a statement like this in the middle of a Communication Design class. But as the weeks rolled along the stories from those that put our words to the test began to trickle in. Much to their astonishment, it worked.

Let's take this a step further and jump to some more thought's on Cherri's previous post. I can't tell you how many times we've been in a city meeting, bringing up something we see as vital to our culture and daily life only to hear, "Not in our lifetime." I just have one thought when I hear this, "If you can't see it, please step aside." There are those of us who still believe a single thought or action can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that every has. We come from a DIY (do-it-yourself) culture. With you or without you we will accomplish what we set out to do. We will find a way to make it happen.

We've all had those moments of insight when we have a great idea pop into our head. Our theory is that a thousand of us get this great thought and think, "Wow, that's pretty cool." A hundred of us go, "Hey, I really ought to do something with this." Ten of us think, "I'm gonna do this one day." Two or three of us actually make it manifest.

I've heard the genius described as the one who has a thought and merely follows it through. The fool has to hear about his/her idea from someone else's accomplishment(s) in the future.

The world never remembers the one's who played it safe. It celebrates the square pegs in the round holes. The risk takers. Those who deviate from the norm. Where do you fit in? What do you wish to change? Dwell on it.
