The way you view the world is yours and yours alone. Your experiences, your biases, your perceptions—they shape the lens through which you see and interpret everything around you. Through that lens, you hear the words of others, process new information, and create your reality.
Sometimes, we can set aside our lens and attempt to look through another’s, but even then, we are still processing their perspective through the filter of our own. There is no true escape from our perception, no complete removal from our prejudices or judgments.
This understanding has changed the way I see both myself and others. It’s helped me let go of unnecessary guilt and frustration about who I am and instead focus on leaning into my strengths.
For a long time, I struggled with not being a “detail person.” I would beat myself up for missing the little things, for not naturally thriving in the precision others seem to navigate effortlessly. But now I realize there’s no need to fight who I am. I don’t have to do everything. I can focus on my strengths—on vision, connection, and creating momentum—and allow others to dive into the details where they shine.
I don’t have to feel bad about that anymore.
The Accusation of Being a Liar
Recently, someone called me a liar—not once, but twice. At first, it stung. I wrestled with the accusation, trying to understand what had led to it.
The truth is, my passion is my greatest tool, and sometimes, that passion can be misunderstood. I talk about what I’m building with confidence and excitement, even when the reality isn’t fully realized yet.
Does that make me a liar? I don’t believe so. When I share my vision, I’m painting a picture of what could be. I’m speaking into existence the future I’m working tirelessly to create. The gap between where I am and where I’m going doesn’t make my words untrue—it makes them aspirational.
If sharing a vision of a massive company, a life-changing mission, or a world we’re striving to create is lying, then what about hope? What about love? What about trust?
Are those lies too, simply because they don’t yet exist in their fullness?
The Power of a Vision
When I share my vision, I’m not trying to deceive—I’m trying to invite. I want others to see the world as it could be, to step into the possibilities with me. Together, we can build the future I describe, but it starts with belief.
If sharing a dream is lying, then let me turn every lie into truth. Let love, trust, kindness, and connection take root and become reality.
I’ve learned not to let accusations of being a liar hold me back from speaking about what I’m building. My words are not fabrications—they are invitations. They are an act of faith in the future I see so clearly.
So, to those who feel stuck, silenced, or judged for sharing what hasn’t yet come to pass, I offer this: Your vision is not a lie. It’s a seed. Plant it, water it, and watch as it grows into truth.
I’ll keep sharing my vision, not because it’s a lie, but because it’s how dreams begin.
