Imagining Too Little

By Jared Dees

Hyperbole isn’t the worst crime. men suffer more from imagining too little than too much.

P. T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman 

Visionary leaders, artists, and entrepreneurs show us that the impossible is possible.

By default, we imagine too little until someone shows us how to see the world differently.

Have confidence.

Confidence is the key. It is the one thing that helps a visionary convince others to see what she sees.

Have confidence in your venture, your art, your business, your show, etc.

Have confidence in yourself.

Confidence is contagious.

Have no doubt.

Be brave.

Be bruised.

Be who you are meant to be.

Helps us experience that breakthrough the world needs the most.

(Can you tell we watched The Greatest Showman this weekend?)
