“There’s just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we’ve ever imagined.” — “The Hours” by Michael Cunningham
It’s rare to appreciate the present for what it really is. You look at it from another point in time and the lens has already changed and the view is different and history is already in the making. And those that may have seemed crazy, rebellious, ridiculous, out of place, insolent, are right there as the heroes of the future: the misfits who inspire, who dare to dream, who can make THE difference.
As I am thinking and writing this, I am also wondering. Am I getting to be too “New Age and California” style? Do I have a hint of “Pollyannaish’ in me? The world seems grey at the moment – and I dare to think of crazy, inspirational stuff?
Actually, I do. Without the pause, the ideas, the dreams, the desire and passion to move forward – our days will be just a series of burned out candles – and I refuse to see it or do it that way. So, breathe in and take in the crazies below – the clip is a classic – tribute to some of the most creative minds ever….
What interests me is helping sharp, intelligently curious people overcome barriers that may be keeping them from achieving more. Passion and boldness can make the art and science of leading easier to navigate. So, have fire; feel with your brain; don't be afraid.
