Test Your Vision

Test Your Vision

A legend is told of a young squire who wanted to become a great knight. He sought out the counsel of an old sage. The squire asked the sage when he would be worthy to become a knight. The sage answered in silence but motioned for the squire to follow him to the shore of a large mountain lake.

Quietly they set out in a small boat until they reached the center of the water. “Submerge yourself into the water” said the sage. So the squire leapt into the frigid mountain spring water but before he could re-emerge the sage grabbed the squire’s head, holding him under. After a few moments the sage lifted the squire back into the boat. Cold and exhausted the squire asked incredulously, “What were you trying to do?” “Teach you,” said the sage. “Let me ask you a question. When I had you submerged, what was going through your mind?” The squire thought a moment. “Air, I thought. Air. I’ve got to get air or I’ll die. That’s all I was thinking.” “There you have it.”

Developing a passionate vision is the key to achieving your desired results.
