Big Lie #3 - Be realistic!
"Come on now. Be realistic."
How many times have you heard that piece of advice?
It is said with such authority that you could almost believe that being realistic is one of the great human virtues.The truth is, however, that all human advancement began as an ideal held in someone's imagination.
It is the idealists who create, explore, invent and change the world.
To be realistic is to limit your potential to self-actuate and to create the success you desire.Realists are the creatures of event and circumstance.
Idealists are the creators of event and circumstance.The artist, the inventor, the explorer, the entrepreneur are idealists.
These are the people who create the world that the realists get to live in.All the realistic people who today travel on vacation to escape the drudgery of daily reality in an airplane owned by Virgin Airlines
can do so because the Wright brothers refused to be realistic and Richard Branson refused to be realistic.So, the next time you are describing your dreams and someone tells you to be realistic, be sure to ignore that advice.
Create, instead, your perfect ideals and hold fast to the fact that they are the greater reality than the mere event and circumstance
that limit the potential of the realistic person. Dare to dream.
