Why Should I Have a Vision? (7)

"I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."

 I have been created by God.

 I was given power and dominion over my life to be a creator of my life. 

I have full autonomy.  I am a powerful creator.

We have each been created for a purpose.  We each have a specific mission in life.  When we have a vision, we see our life and how it unfolds for the highest good.  Vision gives our life a reference point to see if we are on track.

Visualization is the first key to a successful future.   It shows us the right direction to go.  It gives us motivation. It enables us to make better choices and decisions.  Vision makes us ready for opportunity.  Vision helps us manage our time.   

Vision is a function of the heart.  Vision sets you free from the limitations of what the eyes can see and allows you to enter into the liberty of what the heart can feel. 

Having a vision keeps us focused on the future and gives us hope for the future.  People without vision often fixate on the past.  They look at what has happened in their life as a hitching post instead of as a guidepost.  By letting only hindsight dictate, they ensure that their path will invariably repeat itself.  By focusing within our heart and mind, and looking ahead, vision pulls us forward.  It increases our effectiveness.

When we have a vision of what we can become, our desire and our power to act increase enormously. 

Vision gives us the power to overcome adversity and use it in a way to benefit our life.

Opposition always accompanies the most worthy objectives.  When adversity comes in to our life we can view our life as if we are in a pit, as if the rug has been pulled out from underneath and we're in this deep hole we can't quite get out of.  Or we can maintain clear vision of what our life is about, know what our purpose is, and harness that adversity to launch us onto higher ground.  If we have a strong and clear enough picture, if we want it bad enough, if we don't merely see with our eyes, but feel with our hearts and reason in our minds, we can and will overcome anything.

When we have a sincere, unwavering, heartfelt desire/vision, it will affect every decision we make along the way. We gain a power and purpose that will raise us above the baggage of this world and allow us to move upward and onward to achieve our highest potential and happiness.
