Don’t Waste Your Potential, Sweat for a Vision adds Taste and Flavor to Life
We are all designed to thrive. The key to thriving is to have a vision that adds flavor to life. Most people live tasteless lives because they have not sweated enough for a vision statement that defines who they are. A good vision statement defines your purpose and gives meaning to your life. It adds color to life and brings vibrancy to one’s existence. A life without a solid purpose is a life being wasted. Sweat on your vision and you will avoid wasting your potential.
A vision statement answers the questions “Who am I?” It enables us to really define the essence of what our contribution to society is. It allows us to distinguish ourselves from the mass of human beings who each have a personal purpose. Vision allows you to ask yourself, ”What does my exceptional life look like?” When we stretch ourselves in this manner, we begin to expose ourselves to our true potential.
Having a vision statement adds flavor and taste to life because it enables to clarify what success really is. Redefining the meaning of success in life begins with our understanding of our unique purpose in life. This is powerful because it enables us to avoid the trap of thinking that success is about making money, acquiring property or being famous. Your vision statement enables you to define for yourself the critical path that is essential for your personal life. Such an exercise is powerful. It sets you up for your true greatness.
I have mentioned the need to ’sweat’ on a good vision statement. Writing out a vision statement is not an easy task. It requires deep self-exploration to get in touch with our higher selves and hone in on our truest desires. The process of discovery becomes as important, if not more important, than the final output. Vision statements are meaningless unless we invest significant sweat equity in their creation. Start sweating today. Sweating today will keep you from wasting your potential tomorrow.
