Vision

get inspired –
if you really want something you’ll invent amazing ways to
achieve it.

function.

The Wheel of Personal Success
Your Personal Vision and Mission
Statement
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
Be Different and Make a Difference!
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.

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."...

The Power of Passion
Combine Vision and Strategy
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...
