It is so important to have a vision for our future. We must
set goals and checkpoints of what we want to be doing and where we want to be 1
year, 5 years and 10 years from now. Once
we get a vision in our head, we should write it down. “And the Lord answered
me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain...” Habakkuk 2:2. Once we
write a detailed description of what we hope to accomplish we should put it
somewhere where we can see it every day.
When we have a
vision, we become future orientated. We don’t make decisions based on where we
are now. However, we make decisions that will help us get where we want to be. People
who do not have a vision are present orientated. The decisions that they make
are for their short term pleasure. They lack the foresight of the things they
should be doing.
Everything we say and do should be to help us bring our
vision to pass. We take advantage of every situation so that we can advance and
get better. A lot of people say they have visions for their future but they do
not act on those goals. “Vision without action is a daydream. Action without
vision is a nightmare.” –Old Proverb.
One of the things that separate the successful from the
unsuccessful is sacrifice. So many people have all sorts of dreams and vision
but they lack the discipline to sacrifice things that stand in their way. When
you have a vision, you cannot do what everyone else does, when everyone else
does it, how everyone else does it. When you have a vision, you must take a
step back from everything and everybody and see what you need to eliminate from
your life to get to where you want to be.
Don’t be one of those people who have big dreams but little
discipline. Don’t look around wondering why everyone is advancing but you. Take
control of your future. Write the Vision.
