The Gautrey Influence Blog: Inspiring Action and Success Since 2008

Stop thinking about what’s possible!

December 23, 2020 by Colin Gautrey

Realists always proclaim you have to consider feasibility and look logically at things before you get too carried away.

Can you name a single realist that has ever achieved anything remarkable?

Yet if you are rash and care not for realism, you’re likely end face down in the dirt.

But, at least you can get up, dust down your pants and go again.

I urge you to think big, build a vision for tomorrow, free of the constraints of today.

Then, with fire in your belly, start to plan towards it.

How might you make it real? What problems need to be overcome?

That’s the pragmatic way of making great things happen. Inspired by vision, practical in action.
