It's Important to Have Vision

To have it all and to be all, you have to know where you want to be, who you want to become. You have to have VISION in order to know what steps, what decisions, what road to take. It's not always easy, but it sure is worth it when you become someone you're proud of. 

VISIONEERING = INSPIRATION + CONVICTION + ACTION + DETERMINATION + COMPLETION

"Everybody ends up somewhere in life. A few people end up somewhere on purpose. Those are the ones with vision."

A clear vision, along with the courage to follow through, dramatically increases you chance of coming to the end of your life, looking back and thinking, I did it. I succeeded. My life counted.

Without a clear vision, odds are you will come to the end of your life and wonder. What if? Did I matter?

Vision weaves four things into the fabric of our daily experience.

PASSION Vision evokes emotion. There's no such thing as an emotionless vision. A clear, focused vision actually allows us to experience ahead of time the emotions associated with our anticipated future. Vision is always accompanied by strong emotion. And the clearer the vision, the stronger the emotion.

MOTIVATION Vision provides motivation. The mundane begins to matter. The details, chores, and routines of life become a worthwhile means to and end. Vision-driven people are motivated people.

DIRECTION It serves as a road map. Vision simplifies decision making. Anything that moves us towards the realization of our vision gets a green light. Everything else is approached with caution. Vision will prioritize your values. People without clear vision are easily distracted. Without vision, there is no relational, financial, or moral compass. Vision empowers you to move purposefully in a predetermined direction.

PURPOSE Vision translates into purpose. A vision gives you a reason to get up in the morning. If you don't show up, something important won't be accomplished. Suddenly, you matter! A vision makes you an important link between current reality and the future.
