The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart, this you will build your life by, and this you will become.

 A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more. Rosabeth Moss Kanter

Your personal vision statement should describe what you ultimately envision the greater purpose of your life to be, in terms of growth, values, contributions to society, etc. Self-reflection is a vital activity if you want to develop a meaningful vision. Once you have defined your vision, you can begin to develop strategies for moving toward that vision.

What do you want for the rest of your life? Take a few minutes to write your personal vision. See your best and greatest self. One women’s vision is to be the matriarch of a large, happy family while another’s may be to be President of the United States. Your vision is personal.

Sample Personal Vision Statements

  • To create a foundation for women who need help getting beyond childhood abuse and neglect.
  • To reach audiences worldwide with my writing and speaking.

Sample Corporate Vision Statements

  • To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete*
in the world”

 * If you have a body, you are an athlete.
  • Our vision is every book ever printed in any language all available in 60 seconds.

Why Vision Trumps Goals https://wiseandwildlife.coach/my-third-post-why-vision-trumps-goals/ Thu, 09 Feb 2017 14:49:17 +0000 http://www.wpclothes2.com/dressshirt/?p=36 Vision is unlimited. I like the business expression, “blue-skying” to describe the first phase of planning. It suggests being open to anything and everything. You can clear your mind of all preconceived notions of limitations. What, in your heart of hearts, do you really want?

Goals can be limiting. They almost have to be, because a goal statement is a “how” statement. It shows you exactly what a step in your process looks like. Why start someplace with built in limitations? Think big! Vision.

 Your vision is the sustaining force that inspires and motivates you. You are pulled toward it. You will you have a deep emotional connection to it. Without this deep connection it is probably not your true vision. Get in touch with what is possible for you and create a vision statement that inspires and motivates you.
