I used the word visionary in prayer this morning, “To reach out not as visionaries.” Visionary isn’t a destination. The dictionary defines it as being a person with original ideas about what the future will be like. There’s a lot of that type of forecasting taking place today. “The pandemic will be over once we get by the election.” “There’s going to be a peaceful transition of leadership power.” Or the one that always stops me in tracks, “If you follow God your life is gonna change.” I’m a Christian and that still digs at me. There’s a huge difference between following and leading. You can’t just show up. It needs to be activated. Yep. You’ve got to do the work. Because my daily discipline is to be mindful of the present, living a lifestyle of being in the Now keeps visionaries away from the path. Stop trying to write the unborn future. Look at what happened to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The top dog former players on the network Sunday shows were all out Super Bowl. Clemson went through the same challenge and change with Ohio State. Investing in a visionary’s future is legalized gambling. What about hope and faith right? Sure they come across as being able to predict the future but to hope isn’t to say. A good example is Taylor Swift. I love Taylor. Is she a music phenomenon or the product of a great promotion? Right place at the right time. She’s stronger today then she’s ever been. Because she’s in control. She’s very much aware of her presence in the Now. That’s what this is all about today. Being in control of your Now. This isn’t a knock on corporate business but the career you’re investing a lot time in belongs to the people above you. It’s their career and you happen to be part of it. I had a station operations manager once say, “My success with this company depends on your performance.” A lot of space has been created due to these Covid 19 remote working days. A daily discipline can be your new focus. President and CEO of “ME” incorporated. Get your mind and body strong in this moment of Now without investing in visionaries. Control the moment by knowing you’re present. To a visionary you’re just trying to fit into instinct. Grow forward and outward.
