Success Principle 3 (cont.) – Your Vision
The second part to Success Principle 3 is determining your vision. We determined what we wanted earlier with the “I want” lists; clarifying your vision expands on that with detailed descriptions of what the destination looks like. There are seven categories to use to help clarify your vision:
- work and career
- finances
- recreation and free time
- health and fitness
- relationships
- personal goals and
- contributions to the larger community
What’s the best way to document these? I set aside an hour several days in a row and visualized where I was going and what I wanted my life to end up looking like. I took notes, capturing the details of my vision. I’ve written a narrative that describes in detail my vision for the seven categories. It would be a long a boring post for me to re-write those visions here, so I won’t do that – at least not all at once. Canfield suggests sharing your vision however. He writes:
You might be afraid that your friend will think your vision is too outlandsih, impossible to achieve, too idealistic, or materialistic. Almost all people have these thoughts when they think about sharing their vision. But the truth is, most people deep down in their hearts, want the very same things you want. Everyone wants financial abundance, a comfortable home, meaningful work they enjoy, good health, time to do things they love, nurturing relationships with their family and friends, and an opportunity to make a difference in the world. But too few of us readily admit it.
Over the weekend I will add my vision for the seven categories on this website. They may come across as materialistic, idealistic, or something else. It may not align with your life’s vision whatsoever. As irrelevant as it may seem to you, it’s a vision, something to inspire you to write your vision for your life.
Once your vision is complete – review it everyday. Keep it active in your conscious and subconscious mind. Help it manifest. How will you know when you have arrived if you don’t know where you are going?
