What is a Vision?

Who knows what a vision really is? To me a vision is something that we want to see and hopefully come to fruition some way or how to show that we have lived the way that we want and wanted. I believe that I have several visions, and some have actually occurred. My first vision was to one day get my advanced degrees, my second was to write a poetry book and get it published even though it didn't sell. I am trying this one again for I wrote a few Art picture books and a text/workbook for Barnes and Nobels Book Nook in the form of eBooks, but so far, no takers, but still hoping.

So, a vision for me is seeing myself making myself happy and hopefully comfortable in an online world of writing, teaching and something artistically creative for all. What made me start thinking about a vision for me is that I am reading a book entitled 'Visioneering' written by Andy Stanley. This is a book that shows one how to discover and maintain their vision. This is a book that covers the basics of how a vision is formed and how one goes about making it come true. Andy Stanley uses his personal ideas and as a pastor using some biblical scriptures to explain how one can improve a current position, learn how to take and use criticism, show how one can have a moral authority in their various projects and in life, how to go public with their ideas and vision from beginnings to endings with all their current know-how as well as making sure that things and ideas align with what is and may be going on around them and in the end just to be able to maintain and keep their vision strong and thriving for all to learn and enjoy without the many distractions that may come along.

This may be kind of a personal question to ask but what vision do you have for your life?
