The curse of the visionary

Having the mind of a creative can be a great blessing.

Some days and weeks, great ideas sprout up like blades of grass in the spring. More than you can count, each vibrant and full of life.

So much possibility, so much change-making power.

But it can also be frustrating having all these seemingly golden ideas that don’t always see the light of day.

Being a visionary often means sharing ideas with others who can't see what you can. Which often means fruitlessly fighting to help them see, and all too often, eventually watching your ideas suffer an unceremonious fate.

You could try and stop the flow of ideas for unwelcome parties. But it's much like plugging a flowing faucet with a single finger. The ideas will keep coming.

Perhaps a better solution is to simply allocate less time and energy attempting to open closed minds, and more time brainstorming and constructing your own dreams.
