There was a time when you BELIEVED in your ability to make ugly things, beautiful. Broken things, fixed. Wrong things, right. Bad things, good.

Depending on how you were raised, you held on to those super-powers
as long as you could, but it probably was not for very long.
It is rather soon that people who have had their magic stolen,
come 'round to try and steal yours, too. Sad.

Magic, most simply means, "to influence events."

There are as many ways to exert this influence, as there are people.

People use all kinds of resources and assets to influence events to their liking.

We regularly use things such as creativity, discipline, technology, contacts, currency, memory, attractiveness, intelligence, strategy, strength, etc. to create outcomes we hope for.

Each of these falls under my loose definition of magic...

...and adults give up on it too soon, and too easily.

They are easily talked out of miracles, and amazing 'impossibilities'
that may very well want to conspire for your GOOD.

There would never be a cemetery big enough to hold
all the aborted dreams, slain in the name of "realism."

Screw realism.

Anybody can see "what is."

Where's the imagination and bravery in that?

What's game-changing or life-sweetening,
about focusing on what's happening in the news and markets?

Y'know what realism truly is?

Realism is actually DEFEATISM, dressed up like somebody important!

It's the attitude or practice of accepting a situation as it is,
and being prepared to deal with it accordingly.

"...accepting a situation as it is." <--- Well, what happens
when you run into UNacceptable situations?

What do you do when something UNacceptable challenges your health,
your household, your community, your career, your finances, etc.

Do you just hunker down, and say:
"Oh, well... It is, what it is... I'M A REALIST!"

We are able to change the matter(s) within, and around, us.

So it doesn't suit me to accept the unacceptable,
and then pretend I've taken a mature or realistic position.

I'd rather push against what I find unacceptable.

And, even more preferable than that, is to
create + construct what I find desirable.

1. Speak your vision, so you can be united with those who share it.

2. Protect your vision, from the unimaginative, the frightened, and those too proud -- or too content -- to see more.

3. Enjoy your vision. It will be as faithful to you, as you have been to it.
