#06: Are we being way too realistic?

by Kirk W. McLaren

Take a look at the world around you.

It has been entirely created by unrealistic people.

People that were brave enough to think beyond what was already possible.

So today we can fly. We have electricity. Telephones. Cars. Computers. Frozen food (Yep frozen food! You should check out Clarence Birdseye sometime for an example of ‘thinking beyond what was already possible’).

But we only have these things because someone was once unrealistic enough to think that we could.

And then brave enough to make it happen.

Brave, because it takes courage to openly fail, usually over and over and over again whilst trying to achieve something that everyone else just ‘knows’ is impossible.

So the next time you share your ideas or grand vision with people and they question whether you are being unrealistic, maybe – just maybe – that should be the very reason you do it.
