Vision and Action

How do you see yourself in ten years? Not a rhetorical question. Unless you can picture yourself in ten years and visualize the steps it will take to get there, how are you going to get there?

I truly believe the best way to attain goals is to believe that you have already attained them. What does that mean? It means holding a vision in your head and heart. It means having the feeling of accomplishment even before you start physically doing the things that will make it a reality. Create that new life, that new car, that new ________. Create it in your mind and it will come to be.

Lots of people have seen The Secret and Pass it On and movies of that nature and Create their vision and then are dissapointed that it doesn’t come to pass, but nothing happens unless you take action. Take for example the mastermind group (leadership team) that Deb and I are a part of. Deb and I had to work to become part of that team and we have to continue to work to retain our position on that team. That involved a detailed business plan.

That plan included a vision statement that had to be detailed and specific about where we are in the future. Not where we want to be in the future, but where we are in the future. All details present tense. It also included steps we have taken to get there and details of those steps. Blogging is one of my details; it keeps my path defined and is the stepping stones on that path.

Vision and Action - two huge parts of success.
