Pursuing your Vision

As youth in this generation we have big dreams, well at least I do. I mean the basics are all there, some want fame, success, money, cars, glamour, this list is endless. But are we really working towards our dreams or are they just something our subconscious mind dwells on in-between snoring and drooling?

I’m no guru or anything yet, but I have learned some basic principles that seem to be helping me when I finally got round to implementing them. First of all we all have to have a vision. And a vision is a mental picture of our preferred future state. But that’s not all, an old man i know told me to separate my vision into two parts. The vision of “being” (the personal characteristics I want to embody in the future) and the vision of “doing” (the actual accomplishments I want to achieve). Having these two visions clearly formulated in your mind (or even better still, written down) would help you to align the things you do today to attain the goals you have set for yourself.

So take the time to really consider what you vision is. And as a Christian we can’t forget that God is our inspiration and our keeper, so we need to involve Him as well. When you think you have formulated your vision well (both of them) feel free to put it on paper. When that is done we will go to our next step and put down our long term objectives! But we’ll talk about that next time.

This is the first post in a set of a personal development series that I am working on (actually I am stripping books down and stealing information from them) so be popping by now and then to see if I've posted any updates!

Ciao.
