Vision. What is it? How do you create it? What is yours? Who do you share it with?
Vision accounts for the artist’s rendering, the leader’s direction, and the lovers’ commitment. Vision accounts for success. It is what attracts business and followers and it determines the longevity of the relationship.
Vision, like success, sounds singular, but it isn’t. It is an ongoing process. You don’t have a vision and then it is over. A person isn’t one day successful and then all is said and done. A vision drives you forward, creating the ongoing success you desire in relationships, in knowledge, in work, and in yourself.
Nobody can create your vision for you. They can help you find it, but ultimately you are responsible for creating your own vision… or not. When you create your vision, and you believe in it, you will find that there are other people who share in and believe in it, too. These people can help you execute your vision.
But remember, not all visions are successful. Deceptive visions will end in destruction. Visions that lack motivation or commitment will end in failure. The successful visions always seek to help more than yourself.
Put simply, a vision is what you want to see and be in the world. It starts in your mind, grows in your heart, and stays in your words and actions. It guides you. And as long as you hold onto it and believe in it, you will see it manifest in your life over and over again.
But it isn’t easy. Most things worth doing rarely are. And as soon as you give up on it… *poof*… it is gone.
