Welcome fellow visionaries, this is a place where we celebrate the diverse aspirations and ambitions of whichever dream you may have. You may be wondering whether or not you are a visionary, and if you’ve already decided that you are a visionary, then you may be discrediting me at this very moment in your own mind, because you know you’re own path. And both are correct.
A visionary is anyone who possesses the ability to imagine and conceive innovative ideas, often with a focus on the future. Visionaries have a unique capacity to see beyond the current state of affairs and envision possibilities that others might overlook.
The visionary can be found in various fields, such as technology, science, art, business, and social change or any other field you can imagine. To distinguish them, visionaries tend to challenge conventional thinking, inspiring others with their ideas, and they attempt to drive forward progress and innovation
Visionaries often play a crucial role in shaping the direction of industries, organizations, and society as a whole by introducing novel concepts, products, or solutions.
Our menu is designed to cater to four distinct types of personalities. A a visionary starts as a dreamer, and the vision starts as an idea. Dreamers have their own unique qualities and perspectives.
There are three types of dreamers, these are:
The Unrealistic Dreamer.
The Motivated Dreamer.
The Conflicted Dreamer.
Just as a caterpillar changes to become a beautiful butterfly, a dreamer goes through different phases before becoming a visionary.
First, they start with a strong passion for their dream. Then, they face challenges and learn important skills, like a caterpillar breaking out of its cocoon. Finally, they become a visionary, someone with big ideas and the ability to not only manifest these ideas into reality, but they also inspire many others along the way.
You too can become a visionary by working hard, never giving up on our dreams, and sharing your truth and inspiration with the world.
Where are you within this transformation? Below we’re going to go into detail further exploring each type of personality described above.
- The Unrealistic Dreamer: The young dreamer who knows that they’re meant to do something, but they believe that destiny is going to fulfill this future for them. They don’t really know what they’re doing, or why they do it, and right now what they’re doing is for themselves. It gives them hope for a better future, gives them a sense of purpose and meaning. It is in this phase where they are the caterpillar, consuming everything around them so they can grow as big as they possibly can.
- The Motivated Dreamer: A young dreamer who knows what he’s meant to do and convinces himself that he’s about to receive all that the “Universe” or “Destiny” has in store for them. They hold themselves accountable to the things the world says they have to become in order to grow and change into the person they think they’re meant to be. They’re still inauthentic with their true-selves, struggling to fit into a form that the world’s defined from previous dreamers, a form they feel they will fill someday, but in reality, they still have a lot that needs to happen in order for them to grow. They’re stubborn and think they have it all figured out, but they’re just repeating the lessons they’ve learned, they’re lacking experience. Like a caterpillar who’s filled with all the knowledge they could learn, about to enter into their cocoon, but in their mind, they believe they’re a butterfly already.
- The Conflicted Dreamer: This is the young caterpillar who’s about ready to break out of their cocoon. This is when a dreamer who once believed in the powers of destiny starts to fight with the idea of what this destiny means to them, questioning whether it’s what they really want. They have remained committed through a really tough time, but they don’t see any of the results except in their development and maturity. They’re craft is getting better and they’re finally starting to master this. They see the value in what they offer and what they do, but they’re still running. Running from stepping up and filling the shoes they feel they were created to fill. They run, thinking they’re running toward their destiny, when in reality they’re running from the challenge that they need to face if they are to grow. Something happens to them that radically shifts their world and forces them to question everything, wondering if they even want to continue pursuing this dream. This is where most dreamers quit, because more is required and the sacrifices don’t stop, but the results also seem far away. So far, that one can lose hope if they don’t carry what’s necessary, determination of purpose.
- The Visionary: This is the creative force that is able to manifest what they want. They are a master of their craft, but it is at this point where they have to figure out how to grow and expand in order to share what they have learned with the rest of the world. Your patience grows, you learn to embrace the difficult process and stay committed to the things that are important to you in order to achieve the goals that you have laid out in front of you. This is when you stop running and start becoming. You start humbling yourself and let go of childish tendencies, so you can adapt and grow into the person that you set out to become. This is when the world is literally at your fingertips and you can have whatever you set out to get, because you know what it will take to manifest these things in your life. This is the person who’s personified as the Uber mensch by Nietzsche. it’s the ultimate man, what we all aspire the be.
The Unrealistic Dreamer:
The Unrealistic Dreamer is a young person who feels a strong sense of destiny but believes that fate will make their dreams come true. They are uncertain about their goals and motivations, and their current actions are mainly self-centered.
This is also where they will start to experience serendipity, which is the process of discoveries. “Things” are going to happen in life, but you choose how to interpret them. Visionaries search for the lesson or some”thing” within this event that’s necessary to happen, in order for them to attain their vision. The Unrealistic Dreamer will make the mistake of getting frustrated and trying to force their will to fruition.
However, their dreams provide hope, purpose, and meaning, and they are actively pursuing growth and development, much like a caterpillar consuming everything to become as big as possible. This is not a bad place to be, it just means you’re still getting started and that’s okay. That’s what we’re here to do, help you develop because I have also been there. Here is a list of characteristics you can find within these dreamers:

- The Unrealistic Dreamer can sometimes feel “cursed”: Having a vision can sometimes feel like a curse. Because you know exactly what it is you want to do, but you don’t have the capacity to do it yet. Which is the most frustrating thing in the world, but you have to trust the process. Know that you still need to grow.
Lean into this vision, it will keep you safe during the storms of life, but if you choose to ignore it, that’s when it becomes a curse. That’s when your vision keeps you awake at night, haunting you in your dreams until you beckon to its call.
Do not ignore this call. I can’t promise you success, but ignoring this call can only guarantee you one thing… failure. And once you pull yourself out of the depressive state that you’re in, trust me, you will regret it.
