MY VISION
“Without a vision, the people perish.”
I like to think that with a vision, the people thrive.
In our tech world, we are saturated with images of a future we do not directly create. The tech folks are deciding for us. Hence, our present trajectory looks ominous.
The Good News: We can create a different future! Humans have a unique skill—we naturally bring to life the predominant images we hold in our mind’s eye. In fact, that’s the basic operating system of the human brain. Action follows imagination.
By envisioning a desirable future—talking about it, sharing it with family, friends, and colleagues—we put new possibilities in the mix. We disrupt the status quo. We, the common people, can truly create the world we want for our children.
And remember: Having a vision, doesn’t mean we know how we will get there. Far from it. A Vision is solely about the WHAT, not the HOW. In fact, a clear WHAT must come first because all effective HOWs depend upon it.
What’s your vision for the future? I’d love to know.
