Visually Speaking | Carrying the Torch Through the Forest

Trying to advance a big idea, dream or passion while carrying the importance of the world under challenging conditions can be a lonely endeavor, as I've learned from personal experience.  At first, most people may think you are crazy or can't see what you can see.  You see the horizon, they see a forest.  Eventually, when it becomes clear, there's a crowd of people all wanting to carry the torch and some may even want to alter the destination, when or how you get there.

Successful ideas often rely on the contributions of many to execute into reality, but one lesson from my experience of pursuing the Chicago Olympic Bid when it was just me and my torch for years before while it's tough at times to do things alone, you also have flexibility, speed and creativity to think out-of-the-box and choose your best path.

Whatever your big idea, dream or passion, there will be a point, sooner or later, when everyone jumps on board, but when you are alone, don't necessarily consider it an obstacle, but instead an opportunity.
