What made these individuals so influential was the fact that they had a grand dream of how the world could be, and pursued that dream steadfastly despite of countless setbacks and disappointments.
It is also worth noting that what drove them and gave them energy was their personal spiritual life and connection with a higher power.
When we examine our own situation, however, many times we not only lack conviction to pursue our dreams, but often we have difficulty even articulating exactly what the dream is we are pursuing.
There is also the situation where an individual has a grand dream and conviction, but those around that person are not able to catch on to the same passion and idealism and so the dream cannot spread.
In both cases, whether we are the ones blessed with a grand vision for a better world, or if we find ourselves in a position to support such an individual, I think it is critical that we are able to clearly articulate the vision in such a way that we can take full ownership over it without reservation.
