A vision is the bigger picture.
Your life’s vision defines who you want to be, what you want to be known for and the set of experiences and accomplishments you aim for. Your vision helps define the goals by giving you a framework to evaluate those goals. Your vision becomes your why.
We often follow the lead and not take cognizant of what we hope to achieve with our own lives. We all have our gifts from God or talents we are not aware of. Looking at the world and the people in it, you will agree with me that we have our different gifts in its own unique way. While defining who you are, it is better to note your goals in life and allow God to take the lead as you progress.
Many of us don’t even have an idea of the skills we have until we find ourselves in that challenging situation that helps us discover our capabilities. For example: As a lady, you have never bothered to cook just because you feel you were not taught and then you condemn yourself by not finding out how poor your cooking can be. It is possible you only need to try once to be convinced of your abilities. After so many wasted years of not trying, that day will come when you don’t have any other choice but to get it done. Then you realize your cooking can be better if you continue doing it.
With respect to our vision, we all have that one thing we desire to do which keeps coming to mind or gives us sleepless nights. You Imagine yourself doing it but can’t summon the courage to start or do it in real life. It can be as a result of not having the abilities or resource to accomplish that vision but surely believe in yourself to do it one day. Instead of waiting, why not find ways to sharpen your skills. Just like someone who wants to be a lawyer and decides to go to the university or law school; an entrepreneur goes to a business school; a cosmetologist goes to a beauty academy; an inspirational speaker reads books and listens to great people.
What is that particular thing you want in life? Note it down and start learning those skills you need to help you achieve that vision.
