Are Your Dreams Bird-Brained or Brilliant?

As I sat in my car waiting for the traffic light to change, I saw a young cardinal hopping along in the grass on the side of the road.

While destined, I’m sure, to become a beautiful red bird with a black mask and majestic crest, this youngster was caught in that phase just after a fuzzy cute baby and before beautiful red feathers — no crest, just a few odd feathers on top without direction.

Here was truly a “vision only a mother bird could love.” It reminded me that many things in our lives go through an ugly or awkward stage, especially during rapid growth, like adolescence.

New Ideas Are Like Young Birds

New ideas are full of potential but difficult to appreciate in their early stages. They may look awkward, incomplete, or unrefined—much like the young cardinal I observed.

Are you at this stage in your life or career? Preflight is about you, your ideas, and your dreams for success and happiness.

Like that teenage bird, your dream may not yet appear beautiful to your friends, family, or boss. You see the potential and outcome, but others may throw up roadblocks: “not quite there, needs more work, requires more time, awkward, out of place, or just plain ‘bird-brained.’”

Gradually, doubt creeps in, and your dream may feel like it’s flopping around on the ground.
