Visualizing Vision

VISUALIZING VISIONS

A man without vision is not necessarily physically blind. Vision goes beyond eyesight. A vision is an image, or images whether physical or invisible. This is the interaction of the mind towards creating a direction in existence, for a particular outcome. This is a practical exercise of living or doing something before experiencing the reality of it physically. 

To be one without vision is to be short sighted in life. It is to live without expectations of a desired end. You are a man or woman surviving on a dead-end mission. Everyday is the same, no twist and turns leading to glory or beauty. I would say this is a religious approach to life – my wife always says human beings evolve. When you exist like this there is no room or space created for evolution and your ability to see becomes extinct. A woman who has been an English teacher for the past fifteen years teaching infants will find it difficult to see or visualize herself educating secondary school students or becoming the Head, because the routine over the years has ministered a message of impossibilities in expansion. She has created a comfortable environment of stagnancy in her mindset. This is mainly because she did not visualize further than being an infant’s teacher.  What you see is what you get. 

Vision always has to deal with change, a paradigm shift – it is altering the way you have been seeing your daily life to allow a little craziness in the light of progressing further. Don’t be afraid of change when you want to accommodate expansion and increase. A visionary is a man passionately driven to realize the goals of his heart desires. He constantly refers to that picture he saw and thrives to make it a reality. When you are vision driven you seize to consult your emotions in making decisions towards the completion of your vision. Your vision is your most meditated status in life. Okay let’s take a young man who has a desire to buy the latest Mercedes Benz and has dwelt on this thought long enough and it has been registered as a vision though shallow and selfish. Always remember that your vision is your mission. And he has written it down – I see myself in the latest Mercedes Benz by the 30th of June 2014. The depth of his desire will adjust the conditions around him to align with his wish. He will become conscious of this and everything he will do will be purpose driven towards buying this car. This will automatically cause him to save money and nature will present opportunities for him to be in that car. Then he continuously visits Zimoco to look at the car and saying that he owns one will fuel him to believe more. The Earth has intelligence. It is a law that if you are positive things will become easier and you attract what you speak the most.

Take your pen and paper – write down what you see in the next five years of your life. If you have no idea, just sit back and relax. It is not about how qualified you are, or poor you are. It is about maintaining a positive picture of greatness within your heart. In one of my articles I mentioned that the mind is the factory of all fruitful human endeavors. You can think yourself out of poverty into abundance. Take time to visualize yourself being able to pay bills, school fees and provide food. The only limitation you have in this life is you. Live above your salary, by knowing where you are going. I challenge you today to see a future so bright and pursue that mental picture, nothing can stop you. I always say nothing can stop a man with a vision because he is going somewhere.

When you take advantage of this God given ability you become a force to reckon with in anything you do. A man who knows where he is going is better than a man globetrotting in darkness. A man with a vision is not easily tossed to and fro by the shifts in the economy. This is the man who just doesn’t join any conversation started in the combis – I mean he is a man on a mission. A hungry stomach means nothing much to him if it is taking him closer to the fulfillment of his vision. Discipline is not a question for a man who is goal oriented. He is a particular character, careful and determined. The Proverbs say a diligent man about his business will stand before Kings and not ordinary man. Yes one can be diligent without vision but it will soon wear out because there is no growth in their life. Look, you can be a bank teller today and be the branch manager tomorrow only if you can visualize yourself there. After seeing yourself there – start behaving like a branch manager, walk, talk, eat and work like one. Get yourself a mirror and talk to the branch manager in the mirror – you can get there, trust in your vision. 

Don’t disqualify yourself of the higher life because of your present stand point. A vision is something you should always have in life. Be that bus driver because you want to start your own transport company, or an agency of good trained drivers – be on transit as long as your vision is not satisfied. Be self motivated always, there is no better man to deliver you besides you. I am saying as far as you can see you can get there. I am not promising that it’s going to be all rosy but remember contrary winds drive your roots deeper. Opposition only confirms the validity of your vision. When you do something that blends in well with everyone then you haven’t initiated change. Remember the only limitation is your mind. A vision always attracts to you the right people. And don’t trust everyone you meet and parade your vision. This is like map to a treasure hid on an Island, you don’t just share it with anyone. Have a step by step guide towards that picture of dominance you are painting. Learn to look beyond the immediate state into the vast future. There is a place for your dreams in this world – the fact that you could dream and write it should be your assurance for it being possible. Go ahead dream big.
