It's amazing how much time people spend planning their vacations compared to how little they plan on a trip of much greater scope and duration: their own lives. Maybe it is because many do not believe they have an issue in their destiny and therefore do not try to change it. Others simply do not know how to acquire a vision for their life beyond the vague ideas of the general well-being that every human being wishes to have. However, to be successful in any endeavor, you have to go further. A conscious effort must be made to determine a specific course.
Without vision there is no provision. If you are not clear about the destination of your life, you will not invest time or money in trying to reach it.
Having a vision for life and setting goals and objectives to achieve it can be compared to choosing a vacation destination and planning to get there. The problem is that most people spend more time planning their vacations than they spend planning their lives. They drift, without a fixed course, hoping that one day things will change.
As with vacations, the choice of destination is more important than the planning of the trip itself. It is relevant to acquire a vision for life. You have to have a clear image of what you want to achieve in the future.
What many ignore in the day-to-day race is that our main asset is not the goods we own or the capital we have invested, but our time. As we strive hard in our daily activities, time inexorably passes. Wouldn't it be much more beneficial if we channel these efforts in a pre-established direction?
Consider the option of following your life without being clear about where you want to go and therefore without the necessary planning to achieve your vision.
What would your lifestyle look like in 5, 10 or 20 years?
Each person is responsible for the choices they make in life. One of the biggest regrets we can have in the future is not for what we did wrong, but rather for what we did not do. That is why we must choose wisely and consciously dedicate ourselves to setting goals and objectives to achieve the vision we have in our hearts.
How can you acquire a vision for your life?
Take some time to think and ponder your vision and ask yourself the following questions:
- What is important to me? What is the purpose of what I am doing? What am I willing to sacrifice to make this happen?
If you can honestly answer these 3 questions, you will acquire clarity for your future that will give you the energy to get up in the morning and continue to persevere until you reach your goals.
Life has so much to offer, why not cut your slice of success and fulfillment? Think big and don't be limited by your current circumstances. Do not stay in the sphere of what you consider to be possible.
Get a vision that's exciting and worth pursuing. As you walk in a life of purpose and vision, your mind will expand and you will no longer find things so impossible to achieve.
Once you have a vision for your future, quantify it. For example, it is not enough to want to achieve financial freedom. You have to put figures on it. Financial freedom for some is living without debt, for others it is earning $ 150,000 of passive income a year and others think it is having 30 million dollars saved and invested.
Once you have established your vision and put a number on it that will allow you to evaluate your progress, set long, medium and short term goals to achieve it. Remember that a goal is only a dream with a deadline.
Force yourself to step out of your comfort zone. The human being by nature does not like changes. However, you will always learn more about life and your ability to overcome when you are in an uncomfortable situation. Without battle there is no victory. Simple.
It is likely that while you were reading this article, something woke up inside you. The desire to change things, to achieve more, and to live with a purpose. Don't ignore your feelings. Take action today, the clock is ticking.
