Having a vision about your life and work is of paramount importances regarding your overall success. Conduct a quick internet search related to vision, and you’ll have immediate access to 3,140,000,000 links containing information. If you are a podcast listener, you’ll find thousands of episodes about developing and fulfilling your vision. If you are a video watcher, you’ll find similar numbers on YouTube.
While all of those digital sources are able to provide assistance regarding crafting your vision, I believe one of the most powerful and most easily understood methods regarding the development and presentation of a vision lies in my favorite book of ancient wisdom. It gives the following steps:
- Write the vision. The simple act of writing down your vision improves the chances that you will pursue it and complete it. It provides you with a sense of direction that inspires action.
- Make it plain so all may understand it. Keep it simple, so that you and those around you easily know the ultimate goal.
- Wait for it. Nothing happens immediately. Even “instant” potatoes take a few minutes to cook! There will be a delay from the inception of the vision until its completion. Keep the vision in front of you and continue to work toward the vision.
- It will happen. When your vision is written, clearly understood, and diligently worked toward, it will come to fruition. Keep the vision in front of you and keep working to fulfill it!
As you contemplate where you want to be, take the time to write your vision. A good coach can help you get the clarity you need and help keep the vision in front of you, so that ultimately you can succeed!
