“If we had known we were making history we would have paid more attention.”
I stumbled across these words scrawled in an old journal today.
While innovation can often seem inevitable in retrospect, it is unpredictable in prospect.
As innovators, we can get so caught up in our work of reimagining the future that we may not notice when our efforts have led to the remarkable result of bringing the present to it.
While innovators are in the business of glancing into the future and recognizing the way forward before it becomes convention, the work is best enjoyed by practicing being present.
