Envisage Your Vision Create Your Future

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, vision is the ability to think about or plan the future with great imagination and intelligence. How do you go about creating your vision for the desired future and be successful? Here are the things that you can do:

1. An idea: Your vision starts with an idea.  Conceive an idea and let your imagination run wild. Explore all the possibilities.  Your vision is your preferred future and also your goals. It is what you believe in and incorporating your core values. Create a vision statement to aspire and inspire you to achieve the desired results.

2. Foresight and insight: It is also important for you to foresee and prepare wisely for the future. A clear deep understanding of a situation or foresight is required

3. Preparation: As you have visualized your future, it is time to plan and chart your journey in life. Capitalize on your experience, expertise, and creativity to work out a workable plan and work hard on it.

4. Belief: Adopt a positive attitude. Be full of hope and be confident of the fulfilment of your vision. There will be setbacks and problems along the way but they will not dampen your spirits. The key is perseverance as there is no instant success. One effective way is to picture the end results clearly in your mind.

5. Learning: To learn is to gain understanding. Continue to explore new knowledge to be more resourceful and productive. Be flexible and adapt to constant changes. 

6. It is ongoing: The vision that you have created is not a one-off activity. Changing situations demand different ways of doing things. Look at it and do revisions from time to time. 

7. Review: Look at your plan and monitor your progress, make the necessary adjustment to stay on course. A clear vision directs your energy and motivates you. You focus your attention in the right direction. You will be happy  and successful when you truly know what you want in life

I think there is something, more important than believing: Action! The world is full of dreamers, there aren’t enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision. ~ W. Clement Stone
