Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, my lilies, welcome back to ink and impact, where
the pen speaks purpose and we honor the ink that
still writes our legacy. Today's episode is personal, it's powerful.
It's a reminder for every visionary who's helped unseen, unheard,
(00:23):
or uncert are just uncertain. The episode is called ink out.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Or I should I? I should I say, ink of
the outcast or ink outcasts?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Uh? This lesson UH is from the brilliant mine of
Tesla's untested brilliance that I feel as th people don't
really talk about today. Let me start by saying this,
Sometimes the things we chase the hardest aren't the things
(01:01):
that hold the most value.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Sometimes what we want.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
The most ends up distracting us from what we were
meant to carry. We can't get so caught up in
chasing success, proving ourselves or making that one big thing work,
or we do get caught.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Up in it, should I say.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Or worse, we question if we shouldn't start it at all?
But purpose, purpose doesn't die in failure. It's just redirected.
And if you ever needed proof of that, let's talk
about Nikola Tesla. Tesla was what they call ahead of
(01:57):
his time, but being ahead of time can feel a
lot like being alone in your time, and that's exactly
what happened. He was a man full of light, literally
and spiritually. He dreamed in diagrams, he saw energy and waves.
(02:20):
He tried to build a future where energy was wireless,
free and limitless. But instead of support, Tuesla faced financial ruin,
corporate betrayal, isolation in dark hotels, filled business ventures, constant
public skepticism. He was mocked, blackballed, and dismissed, and yet
(02:44):
he never stopped creating. He kept writing, he kept drawing,
he kept filling notebooks with untested brilliance. That's what gets
me every time. Tesla died in nineteen forty three at
the age of eighty six. He had an almost nothing
(03:06):
to his name, no fortune, no fanfare, but he left
behind something far more valuable. Dozens of trunks full of notebooks, notes, sketches, patents, equations, visions,
ideas that most people said no to, but today we
(03:26):
can't live without them. Wireless energy, frequency based communication, even
the foundation of this tech, of the technology that I'm
using right now. You're probably listening to to this on
right now, and had it spark in Tuesla's mind. But
(03:53):
here's the part I want you to catch, Lily. Tesla
didn't write for fame.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
He was.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
He wasn't diagramming for an applause. He didn't let the rejection,
the doubt, or the delay stop his pen because he
knew this truth. And I want you to write this
down if you can. The reward is not always the result.
(04:22):
The reward is the passion behind the process. Okay, Tusla
died without seeing the world embrace his work. But God
didn't plant his seed for his time. He planted it
for hours. That's how divine purpose works. Sometimes the seed
(04:44):
is planted in one person, but the harvest is assigned
to another generation. That's why we can't be discouraged when
it feels like nobody gets it, nobody sees, nobody understands it.
Because when God gives you something, a vision, a formula,
(05:08):
a creative nudge, you don't need nobody to believe in it.
You just need to protect it. Tesla's notebooks, the ones
they stored in locked trunks and scattered storage rooms. They
were ignored for decades. Some were even classified. But those
very same notebooks are the ones researchers and scientists fight
(05:31):
now to read. And here's where it gets real for us.
What are you writing that you think doesn't matter? What
ideas are sitting in your notebook that you're too afraid
to pursue because of the past failures. What's sitting in
your spirit right now that doesn't make sense to them
(05:55):
but makes perfect sense to God? Listen, don't wait for
the world to validate your vision. Don't measure your impact
by applause. Impact is measured in seeds, not spotlight.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
You might not build a tower, but you may write
the blueprint that helps someone else rise. You may not
finish the project, but you may spark the genius and
someone else to.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Carry the four to carry it for.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Tussela's tower never transmitted global energy, but the idea did.
And today we transmit Wi Fi, we charge our phones wirelessly,
we share voices across oceans, instantly, all from an untested
idea written in an ignored notebook. So I'm telling you today,
(07:31):
let your ink speak, let your ideas breathe, let your
notebooks carry courage. Don't go to your phone when inspiration hits,
go to your notebook because your mind is the garden,
but the notebook, the notebook is the soil.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Let me say, and what you write today might be
the miracle someone finds tomorrow. So God didn't give you
your gift to fit in. He gave it to you
to plant something timeless, like Tesla did, even in silence,
even in shadows, even as an outcast, because God sees
(08:17):
ink as legacy. So this week I want to challenge you.
Start your own Tesla page, a section in your journal
or planner where you just dream big, raw, unfiltered ideas
(08:43):
that scare, that scare you a little, or don't fully
make sense. Don't edit it, don't justify them, just plant them.
Let your notebook be a future someone will fight to
understand because your ink matters, your purpose is proof, and
(09:05):
your voice was never meant to be silent. Until next time,
I'm jazzping you, guys, your favorite gardener, encouraging you to
pin it, plan it, and pray it, and leave your
mark in this garden we call life. Stay rooted, stay brilliant,
(09:29):
and don't stop writing because the outcast ink might be
what the future is waiting for.
