The Journey to Making a Dream

My goal in this piece is to just briefly describe the path many people go through before accepting their vision as their true north.

You should know where you belong and what to do on each stage towards affirming your dream as the focal point to live a life of meaning and significance.

Evolution of Your Vision

Stage 1, Wandering. We all begin as blinded not knowing exactly what we want to commit ourselves to. At this stage, we are wasting resources because we are not committed to any definite chief aim or purpose. At this stage of discovery, everything seems slows, aimless and pointless.

Stage 2, Follower. At this stage, you have found someone who is committed to his own journey and you are willing to join him on his own course. You have seen the future and what it demands but you are unable to set out on your own. You are chiefly at the service of others. You are committed to acting based on instructions and not following intuition.

Stage 3, Acceptance. This stage is characterised by people who have come to believe in their discoveries. They acknowledge that the things they have found is worth pursuing and they have chosen to be committed to it.

Stage 4, Achievers. This is the stage where you are producing results from the pursuit of your dream. You have hit your targets and possibly surpassed a number. You are becoming a thought leader. This is the stage of execution of vision

Stage 5, Leader. This is the point where you expand the reach of your vision by committing to influencing other people. At this stage, you are sharing the philosophy of your success and enlisting people to your school of thought.

Final Word

Whenever you are in doubt of what you have seen, look for those whose lives are reflections of authenticity, then follow them. They will leave clues and cues that will support the discovery of your path and the validity of your pursuit.
