I
have been working so hard these past 6 months to clarify my vision. I would be thrilled if someone called me
visionary! It is those who are visionary
that have changed the world. There is a
perspective described in “Agency Education” by Neil Flinders of two different
perspectives. The first perspective is
from people who live inside a bubble but cannot see anything outside the
bubble. They believe life is temporary
and claim that one cannot believe what one cannot see. The other perspective is from people living
in the bubble, but they can see that it is clear. They can see that there is a world beyond
this one and they can and choose to believe things they cannot see, which are
true. I love the part in “Don Quixote,
Man of LaMancha” that illustrates this point.
Don Cervantes is in the prison arguing about reality and how he chooses
to perceive it. He puts up a good
defense that to perceive things only by what is seen is insanity. For me, I choose to believe that there is a
world of Spirit all around us that we cannot see, but is real. If we see life from an eternal perspective,
it is those that cannot see life for its possibilities that have a limited
vision. It certainly takes more work to
cultivate a visionary mind, than it does to sit back and say that things beyond
our vision are impossible. Who is the
one that can DO the will of the Lord:
The one that sees life as it can be, or the one that cannot imagine it
as anything more than what it is?
