“To grasp and hold a vision, that is the very essence of successful leadership….”

 – Ronald Reagan –

Do you have a vision for your life? Where do you see yourself in 2, 5, 10 or 20 years?

Having a vision is seeing what you want your life to accomplish. This does not necessarily mean you have all the details figured out. Rather, the principles and values by which you live will provide a guiding boundary to fulfill your purpose. Vision and purpose go hand and hand. Without a vision you are not motivated to fulfill your purpose. Without purpose you have no vision for your life.

A vision is a focus, intent and perspective. It is the motivating factor, the overarching theme for your life. One reason why people may seem unclear or uneasy is due to lack of vision. Proverbs 29:18 states: “Where there is no vision, the people perish….” A clear, tangible vision sets the path for growth.

Knowing what you want your life to accomplish will keep you focused when obstacles and difficult moments come. When you are living your life for greatness, you will encounter challenges. Yet, your focus, or vision, will equip you to press forward.

A vision will have you surround yourself with people who want the best for your life. It is wise counsel and valuable advice that will help prepare you for your calling.

“If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.”

– Isaac Newton –

A vision not only keeps you focused but also translates into what you do and whom you influence. Where you see your life going will not only impact you but also those around you. Your life is influencing someone. You do not live on an island to yourself.  Seek to impact people’s lives in a way that inspires others to raise the standard of excellence and pursue a vision for their lives.

“Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.”
