In Others’ Words: Seeing the Invisible
Growing up can limit our vision.
When we’re young, we imagine just about anything is possible. And what is imagination but seeing with our mind’s eye?
We see the faraway lands in fairy tales … we envision all sorts of creatures and quests … and yes, we even see how our lives would be different, given the chance.
But then time changes us. We face reality. We “know better.” And our vision focuses on what we can see. Why waste our time daydreaming, dwelling in the moments of the unseen where we wish upon stars and dare to look past the here and the now and see more?
Why?
Because dreams are birthed just past the reach of reality. Passion burns brightest just outside the limits of “knowing better.” I’m not advocating recklessness or abandoning yourself with no consideration of others. But vision demands you remember your childhood, when anything was possible … when you were possible. When you looked up and saw the stars. When you looked out and saw others as potential friends, not enemies. When your vision was wide, encompassing things invisible.
In Your Words: How has growing up limited your vision — or has it? How have you mastered the art of seeing the invisible?
