Leadership Change and Destiny

Jaime Chahin  The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created-created first in mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating.

The paths to it are not found but made, and the activity of making them changes both the the maker and the destination
