Have a Vision

     Let us start with the fact about what a vision is ? Vision is nothing but having a clear picture of what we want and what we really lead our life into?  A vision is a powerful tool that if we develop within us will definitely lead us to achieve our goal and pursue our dreams. We can have lots of dreams, desires and can set goals but everything becomes meaningless if there is no clear vision.

1. Vision and Goal

     While vision is seen an important aspect of our life but it should not be confused with goals. The vision is a clear picture of what you want yourselves to be while Goal are specific targets that moves you towards your vision. Vision is a broader perspective which makes you to realise where you are and where you want to be.

• Why vision is important?

Vision is a long term perspective of the future, dreams and goal. It is looking beyond the boundary that our eyes can see. Its not a dream which cannot be fulfilled rather it’s a dream that is impossible and snatching our sleep. Vision is where we want and desire to go but we dare not treading on the way because of the fear of the failure.

The moment you fear, that very moment you have failed and making your life full of suffocation and self hatred. More precisely, personal vision is what moves you in a specific direction in your professional and personal life. The key elements to develop a vision are: being open to receiving what inspiration offers, and acting upon it. Developing of a clear vision is a process trough which, you learn to know yourself, abilities, talents, and aspirations. Holding a personal vision is the best way to face the several changes you experience during your life. Because, beyond every unsuspected circumstance, or moments of indecision about the next step, your personal vision leads you toward the desired destination.
