Vision As Your Fuel

• Monday, 25 February 2008 13:20

I meet many disappointed people who have spent tons of money on goal setting. They have attended seminars, bought tape and CD programs, bought books and have ended up frustrated and discouraged! I am among those same people who have gotten caught up in the goal setting frenzy of the past 15 years. I am absolutely positive that for the vast majority of us, goal setting is a waste of time.

Goal setting doesn’t work because it is based on our greed, pride, ego and materialism. Goal setting usually means trying to create a plan to acquire more money, a bigger house and an expensive car. These things, while all fine, do not matter to our purpose for being here in the first place.

They miss the fact that each and every single one of us was created with a purpose and a plan for our lives. There is a reason for us being here and when that reason is uncovered and acted upon, we become unstoppable. The reason we are on this earth is God’s vision for our live’s.

Vision is God given, not created from our own minds. It is perfect in the fact that vision isn’t about us at all; but about our Creator’s plan for our lives and the world around us. Vision when discovered, will motivate you where goals have failed. Vision will never die but only grow stronger as you move closer to it! Vision will be accompanied, if you are watching, with specific instructions and steps. Begin to ask God for your vision today and He will deliver!

The Plan For Your Life

The Principle of Vision: The difference between goals and vision and how you can set a life vision that’s right for you.

What is your vision? Many people that I meet are unable to answer this question. It is unfortunate because the lack of an answer to this question means that the vast majority of people we encounter do not even know why they were created. They don’t know what the purpose of their life is and how to go about the achievement of their purpose.

The Principle of Past, Present, Future: Learn from the past, live in the present, look to or (believe in) the future.

Today can be whatever you make of it. It matters little what is going on around you or even what is going on inside you. Today is a gift that we are meant to spend wisely. Many people choose to get up each morning, look around at their circumstances and throw up their arms in despair. They get discouraged by what is happening around them and feel that it is no use to even try.

Learn From Your Past

Many times we refuse to realize the benefits we have gained by the lessons we have learned. The past is our greatest resource if we choose to treat it that way. If we can recognize the lessons we have learned, good and bad, and apply them to today then we will be able to handle the challenges of today more efficiently and put ourselves on an upward spiral of improvement.

I speak to many people who have had unfortunate pasts. They have made mistakes and have suffered from those mistakes. They seem to be stuck in a spot were they make the same mistakes over and over. They have not learned this important principle and will more than likely never get out of their rut.

I also see people who have had very successful pasts. These people tend to think that the successes of yesterday can propel them into the future. They have stopped making living for today and planning for the future an important part of their lives. They to are in a rut and are very likely to stay there.

Whether your past has been something you’d rather not remember or an experience you’d like to share with the world, you must remember that without taking the lessons learned and applying them today you will remain in a rut. So learn from your past and keep moving forward into tomorrow while all the time living for today.
