You can have your vision written down in less than an hour, actually in less than 15 minutes. You know why? Because you already know what it is. It is not foreign to you. It is not something outside of you. It is not even complicated.
What is keeping you from not having your personal vision written down is simply a decision. Probably you do not feel so comfortable and confident enough to craft the vision and follow through. Probably you are afraid that what you will come up with would be wrong.
Well, if that is your fear, then how do you compare what you are afraid to come up with with what you already are living under? Listen to this.
W. Clement Stone said that "definiteness of purpose" is the beginning of all forms of success, something like that. This means that it is important for individuals (that's what I am drawn to) to determine what their life will be all about.
Frankly, people think that coming up with a personal vision is one of the most complicated things. It is not. We all have passion, desires, wishes and so on...and those give us a hint of what our personal vision in life could be about. Listen to this and learn how easy it is to come up with your vision.
Like a broken record, let me say this: Coming up with a vision is the easiest part. In fact, that can be done in a sitting of 15 minutes, I kid you not! If you do not have a personal vision, you are only 15 minutes away from crafting one.
Make a decision and do it. What is the difficult part is what follows after you have crafted the vision. To bring it to fruition is the most critical part and perhaps the difficult part. That is one major reason why people would rather not have a personal vision. Listen to this.
The fact is that working on your long term personal vision is not the only option that you do have in life. There will be very many opportunities for you to work on other people's vision.
Heck, most people do that for their entire lives. However, in the wake of the uncertainties in life, and in the availability of different options, what do you do when you have to make your vision a reality? Do you work on your vision or you take up someone else's vision (get employed?)
How do you navigate that? Listen to this.
One of the greatest reasons as to why people would rather be employed than work on their vision is impatience. A job gives you instant cash in 30 days. Your vision gives you no promise, at times even for years.
However, when the vision starts paying off, it doesn't just pay your bills. It pays for families. If you wanted your vision to come to fruition, one of the most neglected things you will need to do is to stick with it through thick and thin. This is what a baby does when she wants to walk. She tries....UNTIL. Listen to this.
