HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR VISION FOR YOUR LIFE.

HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR VISION FOR YOUR LIFE.

Do you have a set vision for your life? Do you know what you want to accomplish and what you’re working towards? 

It’s important to take some time to discover your vision for your life. Your vision is life traveling into time and seeing your future. It’s an image that makes you feel hopeful and excited when you look at it. It’s a future reality that you’re willing to work and sacrifice for because the rewards will be greater than the sacrifice. Your vision is the image of your ideal life. It represents all the things and people who mean the most to you. Your vision is your own. It is what you want to achieve, accomplish and enjoy during your lifetime. It will encompass the legacy you want to leave. It’s not about being successful. It’s not about earning awards or recognition. It’s not about having a big house and a fancy car. It’s not about making a million dollars. E.t.c. It’s about creating a legacy for others to follow. It’s about making a difference in the world around you. It’s about living a life filled with passion, purpose and Joy.

I personally believe we’re all put here on earth for a purpose. I believe it’s our responsibility to figure out that purpose and pursue it passionately. The first step to find out our purpose is to create a vision and connect it with your dreams. Your vision may change some as you grow older and as you mature. You may find things that were important to you ten(10) years ago are no really that important now. You may find that you have realized some of your dreams already and need to create some new dreams and goals to work towards. It is always important to re-evaluate our vision, goals, and dreams at least once a year or every few years.

Most of all, it’s important to make sure your vision is so powerful that it inspires you, re-energizes you and keep you motivated to continue striving for those goals. 

QUESTIIONS TO ASK YOURSELF TO CREATE YOUR VISION:

 Writing down your vision (As well as your goals) is essential to your understanding, connecting and achieving your vision. It’s like having a GPS or road map to your intended destination. 

Below are ten(10) questions to help you figure out your vision.

1. If I could invent the future, what would I create for myself?

2.  At the end of my life, what will be my greatest accomplishment?

3.  What mission in life absolutely inspires me?

4.   What is my burning passion, what am I truly passionate about?

5.  Whatvwork do I find absorbing, engaging and truly enjoy?

6. How will  my work, career or business enable me to live those dreams?

9. If I had a magic wand, and could change any one thing about my life, what would I change?

10. If I knew failure wasn’t an option, what would I attempt to achieve or do with my life?

    Take your time today to honestly answer these questions. Think back to the dreams you had when you were younger. Rekindle the fire for the mission for you are truly passionate about. As you answer these questions, you’ll begin to discover what your vision is for your life. Then you can begin to create goals and action plans to reach your dreams. Once you have done this, the next step will be to create a vision, dream or focus board. You can learn how to create your vision board in many ways. 

How to be dedicated and live the Life You Want. 

Don't mistake what you do for a living with your life.

  What if I told you that it’s possible and within your reach to be successful and live the life you want and that it only requires a few simple steps? Well...simple, but not necessarily easy.

   Truthfully, attaining success and reaching your goals doesn’t have to be complicated. However, it requires plenty of dedication and hard work. Are you up to the challenge? If so, follow these steps to make your dreams come true:

1. Decide what kind of life you want.

Before you can attain the life of your dreams, you must define what kind of life you want. What are you working toward? What does success mean to you?

For some, it might mean a job with flexibility that allows them the ability to work from anywhere in the world. For others, it might mean buying a beautiful house with a big yard for their family. In your wildest dreams, what kind of life would you like to be living?

2. Set goals.

Now that you’ve done your daydreaming, it’s time to get real. What are some specific goals that you could set right now to motivate yourself? Be very specific in your goal setting, as this will make your goals more real, and they will be more of a motivating force.

Once you’ve settled on a goal or goals, break them down into mini-goals. For example, say that your ultimate goal is to buy a luxury car. You can break down the amount that you need to buy that car, and create goals of how much you’d like to earn per month or per quarter to make your goal a reality. Remember, you can always adjust your goals or mini-goals as needed.

3. Make a plan to attain your goals.

Once you’ve got your sights set on your goals, it’s time to start figuring out how to achieve them. Maybe you’re going to focus on advancing in your current career so that you can increase your income to make your dreams a reality. Or perhaps you’re going to take on a new endeavor, like buying real estate or investing in the stock market. Really take the time to plot out a targeted plan for how you intend to reach your goals.

4. Get educated.

If you’re taking on a new trade as part of your efforts to achieve the life you want, do yourself a favor: Educate yourself thoroughly. A lot of people think they will throw themselves into a new endeavor without fully learning the mechanics of their chosen field, and they end up giving up and losing money in the process.

Whether you’re opening a bagel franchise, day trading or flipping houses as your income stream, be sure to learn how your trade works before you take the plunge. It might require an investment of time and money to get educated, but often it’s worth it in the long run.

5. Keep learning.

Did you think you could just learn a new trade and be done with it? No way. If you want to be successful in the long term, you must make a lifelong commitment to learning. Stay updated on your industry. Read the news. Read books and expand your knowledge in any and every way you possibly can. By making a lifelong commitment to learning, you’ll keep your mind open to new opportunities, and you’ll be more likely to remain nimble and intelligent in your own personal business dealings.

6. Network.

Nobody becomes successful without a little help. Never underestimate the power of connections. After all, as motivational speaker Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

Be involved in the business community, get to know your business peers and seek a mentor in your field. It’s important to network with other business professionals. After all, you never know when an opportunity might arise through someone you know.

7. Be consistent.

Success requires discipline and consistency. Once you’ve decided what you want to attain in life and how you’d like to do it, you need to get to work. Be willing to work tirelessly for what you want to attain. Be ready to work nights and weekends, and to make sacrifices in your personal life if necessary. Attaining success requires targeted effort and a big time investment. By consistently applying yourself with focus, you’ll be on the road to making your dreams come true.
