Discover Your Vision Your vision is a portrait of your future. It is vital to identify an image that draws you. Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. It is a preview of what is coming.” It articulates your heart’s desires and your values. Your vision inspires you to take actions that may enlarge your comfort zone and are necessary to realize your dreams. When you don’t have a vision, you can be easily distracted by unrelated opportunities. Because they can be worthwhile and rewarding in the short-term, they often pull you away from purposeful action that supports your long-term goals. When you have a clear, compelling vision, it informs every choice you make. You are aware that every action you take whether small or large is either moving you a step closer to or a step further away from the life you desire.

H.G. Wells shared, “All youth lives much in reverie, thereby the stronger minds rehearse themselves for life in a thousand imaginations.” Consider that… • A vision engages your heart and your spirit. • A vision expresses your deepest desires for yourself and the ones you love. • A vision provides meaning to the work you are doing. • A vision is the release of unexpressed desires. • A vision is ever-changing and ever-growing. • A vision often expresses your longing for a greater quality of life, or an improvement in the quality of your relationships, surroundings and experiences. Your vision is your own, and is unaffected by others’ desires, expectations or beliefs in you. Be bold in creating your vision, and reach for what you want for yourself and others. Make your vision so powerful that, each time you revisit it, you are moved, inspired and reconnected with your reason for living. “Successful people are committed to results. Unsuccessful people are committed to comfort.” – Unknown
