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.
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!
