Vision
A vision is seeing something before it actually happens. Not knowing what the future may hold, but having a clear picture of what is to come mentally. A vision is a state of being able to see and also the ability to think about or plan the future with just imagination or wisdom. A vision is the mental image of what the future will or could be like having a vision is imperative. A vision is nothing more than a plan to execute the accomplishments that you have set for yourself or that your Higher Power has set for you. The Holy Bible says “For still the vision awaits its appointed time. It hastens to the end it will not lie, if it seems slow, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not delay” Habakkuk 2:3. Without a strong and clear vision nothing can be possible. “Not all dreamers are winners, but all winners are dreamers. Your dream is the key to your future. The Bible says that, "without a vision (dream), a people perish." You need a dream, if you're going to succeed in anything you do.” ― Mark Gorman
We use visions and pictures in our everyday work life but we fail to have the confidence to know that we must to have that same structure within our personal lives. You are like a robot here for a specific purpose. You are here to do the something special. No other robot has the wheels or the power that you contain. No other robot has your programming. There is no one else like you. “A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.” ― Bruce Lee. Without structure, our personal lives will be in destruction. We unwillingly have structure in some parts of our personal lives. Like when we wake up in the morning we have to wake up at certain times in order to get to our jobs and in order to drop her kids off. This is because these companies and schools have a certain structure. They have developed rules that we have to follow. Although, it seems like when it comes to our lives we are so frustrated with rules and structure that at home we do not want follow any rules. Why we should we have those strong perimeters on the outside of our lives but when it comes to our personal lives we have much lack. You would think it would come naturally. Humans tend to rebel when we have the opportunity to. In our personal lives we have the opportunity to choose to go right or left. In our work lives we do not have a choice. We just accept that things are how they are. Yes things are how they are at work because that's what keeps our employment functioning properly. In fact we need those same qualities to keep our lives functioning so that we can accomplish what we need to accomplish while we are blessed with a breathing life.
Why some people choose not to have a vision
They choose to live one day at a time or aka check by check
They do not believe they would ever be anything so they never bothered to try aka my mom and my dad is nothing so I'll be nothing
They are just too tired of life beating them up and they are ready to give up aka I'm living on the edge
They just don't want to grow up aka I don't give a f***k
They are just too old aka you can’t teach a old dog new tricks
They are too young aka I just want to party
They are procrastinators aka for my new years resolution is……
They think that they cannot afford to have a vision aka I am materialistic
“He who looks through an open window sees fewer things than he who looks through a closed window” ― Charles Baudelaire. Too many times we forget where we’ve come from, so in return we have no clue to where we're going. We have to find some balance in our lives. This generation seems to be just floating about with no serous responsibility. I guess since the black man is free from slavery there is nothing else to work hard and aggressively towards. Collectively, we have to know that life is a journey in which we are here to leave a mark of positivity. A vision is like a map. Without a map we would not know anything. Maps are here to guide from one place to another and so is a vision. A vision allows us to have a future and to have something to look forward to. Every great person who ever accomplished anything major in life had a vision. They had to know where they were going in order to go in that direction. For instance if you were going on a family road trip, you would want to know your destination. Knowing your destination will allow you to take the best and convenient route to get there. This strategy will save you a lot of trouble; alleviate headaches, getting lost, losing money, gas, and wasting time. If you knew exactly where you're coming from and where you're going obstacles that you would face would be far and few. Plans, pictures or visions are needed to make visual pathways in our lives. Teachers have lesson plans so that they can stay on track of what to teach the students. Businesses have business plans or else banks will not lend them money. Another word for a vision is a goal. For most people we think very little of ourselves. We don't even set goals. Not having goals in our lives a deficiency. It shows how much faith truly is absent. We should walk around everyday knowing that we are the best. We are perfect we! We should have enough assurance in ourselves to have goals.
When every human is born we are equipped with a fully functional imagination. Yes, you have an imagination! The definition of imagination is to form a mental image of something not present, to think, to assume, and to picture. “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” ― Albert Einstein You can use it to your own advantage. If you have an imagination you can go anywhere and do anything. We have to become childlike again by seeing more as nothing. A child's imagination can allow them to see what is not there physically, but what is possible, what can be if only he/she wants it. Our imaginations are free to tap into whenever we choose. The wisdom of tapping into our imaginations is priceless. Your imagination will take you to the next level. That next level is creativity. The definition of creativity is having the power to make something new, originality of thought, and the showing of imagination. After you imagine it then your natural sense of creativity wants a little more. You're mind starts to add more and more onto the picture, painting a beautiful portrait. You start to see more and more details. You begin to get excited! The mind naturally finds ways to set you apart and diversifies you from the next individual. It forms shapes and sounds that come to you out of no where. At that instant you become very unique. “Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. ” ― Pablo Picasso, Creativity is you! You have to be able to embrace the fact that you are creative. There is no one like you. You were chosen to come to this earth over millions of other sperm. You were hand picked with a specific purpose in mind. There is a task here on earth that only you can complete. The perfect amount of imagination is locked inside of you to develop naturally into creativity.
“The more boundless your vision, the more real you are.” ― Deepak Chopra
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.” ― John Lennon Barack Obama had a vision. At some point of his life he decided that he wanted to be the first black president. So he prepared himself to get to presidency level. No it was not something that he could just sit and meditate and dream about. He needed to put action behind it and he always had to look at that specific goal. He always had to keep in mind that this is for a better purpose.” Well I'm going to go to school for a better purpose so that I can go to college. Then, I'm going to go to college just so that I can go to law school. Then I'll go to law school just so that I can become a lawyer. Then I'm going to become a lawyer so that I can work for the government. Then I'm not just going to just work for the government but I'm doing all of this to work up to be America's first black president!” There was goal involved. There were steps involved in achieving his goals. We all have to prepare ourselves in some type of way to accomplish what we are here to do. Barack Obama has made history. What are you going to do to make history? What are you going to do to let your light shine? What are you here to do that no one else can do? What is your gift? What is your talent? Your life is a blank canvas. You can create the vision that God has for you. Only you know what it is! Your life s purpose awaits you. You must have strong faith. Everything that you should be doing will get you one step closer to achieving your vision. Every mistake in life that you have ever made is a growth enhancer for you to learn what you need to know to make your vision a reality. Unless you are ready to go above and beyond you will never become a winner or a conqueror.
“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”
― Edgar Allan Poe Don't you want to go to the top? Don't you want to be the best? Don't you want to be happy? Don't you want to come out of that situation that you are in? Who can tell you no? Who can stop you from revealing your life's purpose? Are you willing to go farther than anyone else has gone?
Don't give up if you relinquish you will fail at life. It all starts with me using your imagination. Imagination plus persistence equals success. Fear is just a product of our imagination. Fear is a choice. Every single thing that you do should move you closer and closer to your vision. You have to believe your vision. You are where you are because of who you are. If you want something different you have to do something different. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence. Colin Powell A vision is “heaven right here on earth.” It just depends who will tap into it while they have the chance. How can you mess up what is made just for you? Tao Te Ching says #9. “Build your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Sharpening your knives and it will be blunt. Chase after money and security, and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be there prisoner. Do your work, and step back, the only path to serenity.”
Your vision should be crystal clear. When your vision is perfected, a alien should be able to walk by and take a look at you vision and be able to fulfill it without you even being in existence. For example let’s take Dr. Martin Luther King. So many people have shared his vision because it was crystal clear to us. Now in today's society people of all walks of life share a vision had he had so long ago. He made his vision so crystal clear that all of us can share it to improve today's universe. Your vision should be a clear picture and precise. A distorted vision is a vision that is cloudy and a vision that is cloudy cannot birthed. The Quran says “Truly did I Allah fulfill the vision for his messengers ye shall enter the sacred mosque, if Allah wills with mind secure, heads shaven, haircuts short, and without fear. For he knew what ye knew not and granted besides this a speedy victory The Holy Bible says “And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision do not be afraid but go on speaking and do not be silent.” Act 18: 9
“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” ― Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist A lot of people in today's culture don't have visions because of fear of failure. We all have had fear of failure in some type of way but it’s those who are not afraid of fear, those who are willing to take that risks actually make it and become successful. We must grow beyond fear and know that fear is only an obstacle that we place in front of ourselves. We must know that we cannot fail at something that we've never tried. How can you know if you haven't tried it yet? If you do not succeed at that particular thing it is not failure. It only shows you what you need to improve and/or that particular thing is not right for you. It is not considered a failure because you succeeded at trying. How can you fail at something that is designed for you? It is cut out for you. The life that is awaiting you will have once you accept that you are the one. Only you can fulfill the needs for that one particular thing. You have to be ready. You have to be excited! You must to have that vision. You must live that vision. You must carry it around with you. You must apply the law of intentionality. You must try. You must put effort. You must read this vision and it must be beyond you. You must live with this vision. It must be in your face and it must be your truth! Are you ready?
