We all have a purpose but what helps direct it is a vision. What is vision? Vision is defined as an act or power of anticipating what will or may come to be. Vision gives direction so our goals and purpose can become a reality. To understand where we want to be in life, we must have a clear vision over our life. Once you understand that vision clarifies purpose, life becomes simpler and more meaningful.
Vision Chooses Our Friends
Vision chooses our direction in life, our friends and the company we keep. People spend time with people who have a vision and who are disciplined in their vision. When you hear someone proclaim, “I’m a Self-Made Millionaire”, don’t be fooled by the propaganda because no one is a self-made millionaire, anyone who is successful financially, is successful because of their ability to communicate their vision and surround themselves with people who were willing to invest in their vision.
Vision Decides How We Spend Our Time
How we spend our time is connected to our vision. If our vision is important to us, we are specific about how we spend our time. For example, if you decide you want to be the Salesperson of the Month, in the next few weeks spending time on partying after you leave the office might decline, the amount of sleep you get at night might increase and the time you invest in your work while at work will align with your vision. In order to reach your goal and purpose the time you spend will determine your actions to achieve your vision. Vision will not allow you to waste time.
Vision Creates Your Habits
Vision creates your habits. To prepare, you might read a book about sales techniques for 30 minutes, first thing every morning to give you more knowledge, once you get in the office, you might listen to a real estate podcast by a successful real estate person to learn common threads on what made them successful. You might even sign up for weekly coaching to help with your accountability. Create and follow habits that bring you closer to your vision and purpose. It’s important to know that the way we spend our time, energy and resources can contribute and bring us one step closer than we were yesterday. Create your vision and watch where life takes you.
