Vision has been defined as the ability to see a preferred future with clarity, coupled with strategic thinking to bring about a preferred future. One visually impaired person was approached by a colleague who tried to sympathize with him because of his inability to see visually but he interjected by saying, “It is better to be visually impaired than to have sight without vision”. We can only capture a vision through the eyes of the heart and this comes about when we take stock of our desires, abilities and how we can use them in meeting our needs in community.
As you look around you will notice so many people with abilities which are lying dormant, this is mainly because they lack a vision. One wise man commented saying, “Without vision, people cast off restraints”. Just try to imagine a pilot flying a plane without a compass. No matter how talented he is, he will certainly miss the cause. Therefore, as we navigate through life, we will need a strong sense of vision to help us navigate through the various issues of life.
The first thing that you need to consider is “what do I have at hand now?” Once you have considered what you have at your disposal, immediately set goals that will give you an urgency to begin doing something about your vision. The greatest enemy to your vision is procrastination. The old adage is quite true, “Tomorrow never comes.” Therefore, implement that business idea today.
Setting goals is a vital tool in helping you realize your vision. A goal is a dream with a deadline. So, consider having short term and long term goals because they will help you work within a timeframe and also give you something to evaluate your progress.
