Deep dives
Great Poetry Terrifies the Hurt
Great poetry, whether in the form of disruptive art, new business ideas, or challenging books, often intimidates and scares people who are comfortable with the status quo. Like Picasso's art that disturbed many, originality and disruption are met with resistance. When Robin Sharma's book, The 5am Club, was released, it faced initial criticism and resistance. However, as more people embraced the book and shared the positive results and transformations they experienced, the perception shifted. The lesson is to remember that bringing your magic and originality to the world may terrify others, but it's essential to stay committed to your truth and vision.
Misunderstood Visionaries and Relevance of Great Art
Throughout history, many visionaries and artists have been misunderstood and not recognized in their lifetimes. Examples include Nikola Tesla, Shakespeare, Nelson Mandela, and artists like Van Gogh, Madonna, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Van Gogh, for instance, faced rejection and was not able to sell his paintings while he was alive. It was only after his death that his art gained appreciation and reverence. This highlights the importance of staying true to your art and vision, even when faced with criticism and lack of recognition in the present moment.
Titans really do see what we all see, yet think what few dare. They avoid the attraction to copying. Such individuals are profoundly imaginative, dreaming up extraordinary plans for new enterprises that disrupt existing enterprises and deliver fresh benefits to millions of consumers. They know that unless they are being called crazy a lot, they are not dreaming big enough. And they pretty much couldn’t care less about the disapproval of others.
