Having a vision for yourself is a lot like having goals for yourself with a bit of a twist!
Having a vision is how you see or how you want to see yourself in your present or future self.
A lot like setting goals you want to achieve, having a vision, seeing yourself achieving those goals and being successful is a great mental booster!
Anyone can create that list of goals, but actually envisioning yourself doing and reaching them is more of an incentive than just seeing the words written on paper!
So how do we set those visons for ourselves? Read on, my friend read on:
Be clear about what you want to achieve. Envision your future self - What do you want? Start with envisioning what you want your future to look like. Don’t worry about HOW you’re going to get there, just envision what you want to achieve.
1. What can I be the best at in the next week, next month or next year?
2. If money was no object, what would you like to do tomorrow?
3. What opportunities do I have right now?
4. In 2-5 years from now will I be satisfied with my progress?
5. Is there anything I want to do, but feel like I can’t do it? Why?
6. What would I need to change in my life for these things to become reality?
Once you answer these questions for yourself and you feel comfortable with them try to focus and move on to the next step.
Find your WHAT, WHY and HOW?
WHAT it is that you want to achieve, in one or multiple areas of your life?
Being very clear about WHY you want to achieve a specific goal or set of goals is very important. Ask yourself why you want to achieve these goals?
Finally, once you’re clear about what you want to achieve and WHY, identify HOW you might go about achieving your short and long-term goals, and envision them happening.
Once you know what, why and how to focus and envision on what you want to achieve, identify actions you can take to make those visions come to fruition.
Rinse and repeat every month, every week, every day.
Stay focused and set your vision!
