As George Bernard Shaw said: " Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself".
Most of us take life as it comes with no long term vision. Creating a vision of the life you want is one of the most effective strategies for achieving the life you desire. It is like a map that help guide you towards making that vision a reality. If you don't develop your own vision, you will allow circumstances and other people around you to direct the course of your life.
How do you create a broader vision?
Step 1 : Envision yourself already in the life you want to live. Be as specific and clear as possible. Find pictures that capture that vision. If you can imagine it you can create it! This will serve as your compass on the road ahead.
Step 2: What are the things or skills you already have to help you accelerate your path? What are your talents? This is about being confident you are on the path and making progress.
Step 3 : Measure your actions against your vision and see if it is helping you get closer or need some adjustments. Do not focus on what is not working and what you don't have. Instead carry out the booster actions.
Step 4: It is not going to be easy. Habits and beliefs can get in the way so you need to stay focused and stay true to your vision.
This should be part of your daily routine.
Give yourself permission to dream. Be creative. Focus on your wishes not what others expect of you. And don't give up! You have one chance, one opportunity so make a splash!
Thank You,
