					<description>"Being visionary requires imagination (to dream of new worlds), wisdom (to choose between them), and faith (to persevere in a task that defies certainty and is designed to be “too big”). These are things that every human is born with. So it stands to reason that anyone can be visionary if they choose to practice."

I notice that many people have one or two of these traits but not all of them.  There are some people who are blessed with faith and will easily see most difficult tasks to completion.  While others may think up one hundred good ideas a day.  It seems, however, that these two traits come into conflict in people's personality types.  The dreamer rarely sticks with it long enough to see it through and the patient one is resistant to take the risk and go for it. I  think because of this, learning to be visionary is very difficult.

I think the key to pursuing a vision for most people is through collaboration, finding another person who is strong where you are weak and vice-versa.

I also think that not all people are socialized to be visionary.  Sometimes a person outside that socialization can expose the confines created by an individual's experience (society.)  That is why I think travel really helps people become more visionary.</description>

					<description>Thanks abc, I think you bring up a bunch of good observations that point to a need for a *balance* of imagination, wisdom, and faith. I hadn't considered that aspect before.</description>
