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
