Vision is also a fickle creature. You can see an object a hundred times, a thousand times, and it remains unchanged. Then in one swift second you realize it has been changing all along and your eyes hid it from you.

About This Quote

The perception that the future is fixed and certain is a dangerous delusion. It can lead to disastrous consequences, like not preparing for change or not changing your plans when you should. Vision, like the mind itself, is a dynamic thing. It always changes. The difference between an ideal vision and a merely possible one can be measured in seconds or minutes.
