No coincidence that I’m re-writing this for the third time after losing two drafts– truly as an exercise in holding the vision.
Here’s @korayerimez and I in the 2,000 year-old ampitheater in the Ancient City of Ephesus. It’s a site to behold, 30 meters tall (that’s 10-storeys high) and with a 24,000 seating capacity (that’s as big as half a football stadium). It’s a massive testament to human innovation, built to face the Harbour Road, which was the main entryway to Ephesus, the first metropolis of Asia. Back then it was a magnificent port city before the water receded and earthquakes happened. Imagine how visionary it was to even visualize a place like this at a time without cars or modern equipment. They say it took 60 years to carve it out of the mountain, and since then it has staged many shows and gatherings, from St. Paul’s preachings to gladiator fights, sacrificial feasts, and modern day operas and concerts.
It would’ve taken intense manifesting and future visioning to build this, and to stand there offering our own vision for @leadiagrowth was a goosebump moment. Thanks @baliliudaagnes for the picture and the caption–it really was a moment for holding the vision.
On Red Day, we remember earthquakes and modern disruptions (like pressing the wrong button on your phone ) and say, “Stay there. I have built, and will keep building. I stay the course and hold the vision.
