Why is personal vision important?
• A vision for your life will keep you grounded and ensures you mix with the right crowd
• A vison will help you to stay away from distraction. Every distraction is engineered to delay you in making progress towards your future. A vision keeps you focussed on the end goal.
• Essentially, you are moving from “here” to a place called “there” but How would you know what “there” looks like, if you don’t have a vision for it?
• You must identify, acknowledge and honour your purpose. You must pursue your purpose with passion and enthusiasm.
• Your vision is the “why” behind everything you do.
• Inspire action and helps you to stay away from distraction.
• If a 100m sprinter constantly looks at the onlookers while running, he/she will never win.
• Be clear—so sharp and so detailed that you can see, smell and taste the smallest details.
• Be Positive. Acknowledge the difficulties, but don’t try to motivate yourself or others with a vision of bad things that might happen if you don’t succeed. A vision based on fear may help fuel immediate action, but it can also limit your results to damage control rather than getting to positive change.
• Be big enough. Create a bigger picture of the effects of your work than just solving the problem at hand. A vision that’s too small may not provide enough inspiration, or generate enough energy, to get you past the tough spots. It might even close your mind to what you could achieve.
• Include changes in attitudes. The challenge you see in front of you is only the part of the problem you can see—the rest of the challenge is deeper and often involves personal attitudes that may be strongly held.
• Include a clear picture of your personal role. It make you take responsibility for what you must contribute to achieve the results you want.
• Come from the heart, not the head. Don’t try to think your way to a vision. To create a vision that’s exciting and compelling, you’ve got to give yourself the freedom to dream—to use your imagination to see and feel what does not yet exist. A vision is not the same as goals or objectives; those come from the head. A vision comes from the heart.
