“You must have a long-range vision to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures.”
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
What’s your long range vision? Think about that for a moment...
vision /noun/
the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom.
On a scale of 1 - 10, how important is vision to your success? Is this something you've considered..?
Reading John C Maxwell this morning was an excellent reminder of the importance of vision in one’s professional as well as personal life:
Vision helps people with motivation.
Only people who can see the invisible can do the impossible.
Vision gives team members direction and confidence.
Trust yourself and listen to the voices:
(from J C. Maxwell’s The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader)
The Inner Voice: Vision starts within. Whatever you pursue must come from the depths of who you are and what you believe if you expect to accomplish it.
What is your life’s mission?
The Unhappy Voice: Inspiration for great ideas comes from noticing what doesn’t work. Disconnecting from the status quo can be a great catalyst for vision.
What have you noticed that isn’t working and needs to change?
The Successful Voice: To fulfill a big vision good advice is needed from someone who is ahead of you in your journey.
Who is your advisor or mentor that can help sharpen your vision?
The Higher Voice: Don’t let your vision be confined by your own limited capabilities. Look for answers beyond yourself, even beyond your lifetime.
Where have you sought inspiration from to help move your vision forward?
“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.” -Joel A. Barker
What are you willing to do? Challenge yourself..!
Don’t miss your opportunity. Be intentional. Encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
