| What is a visionary? When we hear mention of such a person, it's often in the context of talking about great deeds, brilliant insights and inspiring notions. Most of us, if called a visionary, would accept it as a compliment.
But what if someone said that you were often overtaken by impractical ideas, or that you seemed governed by the supernatural? That you were childish or foolish? Yet, if you look in your dictionary, these are some of the meanings you'll find under the word "visionary." And that's exactly as it should be. Children are masters of vision and inspiration precisely because they've not strangled those gifts with so many rules about what's acceptable or silly. They easily "make pretend," create and envision. Vision is inseparable from impracticality; it's fueled by creativity and inspiration, and in turn fuels and inspires others. After all, if a thing were highly practical or utterly ordinary, it wouldn't be very visionary, would it? Vision is inspired, as if by a source outside of our "business as usual" ways of thinking. Vision is the ability, or perhaps gift, to look beyond the ordinary and past the obvious, and imagine what might be possible. We at Ivy Sea celebrate vision, and the visionaries and "inspirationaries" among us, and offer some tools and ideas for inspiring the visionary in you that exists in us all. |
