Two Main Functions of Your Vision
Your vision performs both a directional and a
motivational
function. The purpose of your coherent vision of a desirable future is to focus you on those things you could do now to bring that future state about. Becoming a Motivational Leader To become a motivational leader, you start with motivating yourself. You motivate yourself with a big vision, and as you move progressively toward its realization, you motivate and enthuse others to work with you to fulfill that vision... More Your Personal Mission Statement and Strategic Vision You should be able to know who you are, what you do and what your vision for your life is. Having your own Mission Statement and Strategic Vision that is written down gives you a powerful focus in your life.9 Your personal Mission Statement helps you understand why you exist. With this knowledge you are able to succeed because you know what you do and concentrate on that focus. You also can easily explain your goals to other people. With knowledge of why you exist, you are also more able to create a strong strategic vision which allows you to know where you are going and what your goals are. When you create your Mission Statement and Strategic Vision, don't make them sound like they could be statements for anyone. They should sound like you.

Cherish Your Vision
"The dreamers are the saviours of the world,"
wrote James Allen.8 "As the visible world is sustained by the
invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations,
are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers. Humanity
cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it
lives in them; it knows them as the realities which it shall one day see and
know."

Vision and strategy are both required for
success in daily life as well, as illustrated in a study conducted by James
Pennebaker at Southern Methodist University.10 He identified
three kinds of people:
“high-level thinkers” who
consistently focused on important issues of vision – their lives,
identities, expectations for the future, and so on
“low-level thinkers” who
consistently focused on mundane concerns and daily obligations, and
“flexible thinkers” who engaged in
both high-level and low-level thinking. Flexible thinkers were found to
have the best physical health and the lowest rates drug and alcohol use.
Success
and
good health
result from both
high-level thinking about issues of vision, as well as more detailed,
lower-level
planning
about how to
achieve that vision...
