So if you haven’t gathered from other posts…I very seldom live in the present. I am constantly thinking…occasionally dwelling on the next thing…Its a blessing and a curse at times. I think my biggest problem with these visions are the question of timing. Is it now or next? Do I do it now or prepare for it later? So I have to ask the question if these visions I have are now or next?
Vision implies direction. That’s the goal of vision: common movement in a common direction. Direction in terms of progress and momentum, though, is only linear, and “now” ideas get you nowhere.
Today’s now is tomorrow’s yesterday, actually, so if you’re moving at all… it’s backwards. “Next” ideas, however, move our hearts and our eyes and ultimately our hands and feet forward. And that’s the goal…
