Courage

This is another one of the signs that I'm not sure I understand what the sign maker was trying to say. Very zen like and philosophical but really, what the what?

I get the first part, it takes vision and courage to create. Create anything, writing, an album, a baby, a business, a mission statement, all those things take vision. The ability to see what people need that isn't out there and you need to provide it to them. The artist's third eye, seeing things differently. Apple's Think Different campaign.

But what about the second part? Faith and courage to prove? You gotta have faith, like George Michael says? Just as a little aside, I watched an episode of Eli Stone last night with GM and boy he looks rough. Drugs man, they don't do anything good for the skin.

Back to the faith. Actually the more I think about this quote the more I like it. That's typical of Milt and Edie. You start with vision, you end with faith but under it all is courage. Nice.

That sign is so true! It takes so much courage to tell and show people the truth. I know of so many who have been put down by others because those others refuse to learn the truth, but it always pays off in the end.
