Dreaming Beyond Logic: The Case for Beautiful Delusion
Our brains are wired to predict based on the past.
So when we imagine something new, it feels “unrealistic” because our neural maps haven’t seen it before.
But vision is how we teach the brain a new possibility.
Faith is the bridge between imagination and evidence.
The hidden power of courage (backed by brain science)
Fear contracts.
Courage expands.
And even the smallest shift matters.
One small move → A whole new direction.
Fifteen years ago, I committed to two minutes of meditation a day. Just two.
That tiny pause in the morning became a practice.
That practice became a lifeline.

But many of us still shut down when we feel misunderstood.
We still grip tightly when we fear being wrong.

Perception shrinks.
The ability to take in new information drops.
We stop listening–not out of stubbornness, but out of self-protection.
