You Must Have a Vivid Vision For Your Life

I have observed that folks with a vivid vision for their lives know where they’re heading to. And those that live their lives devoid of a clear vision live a directionless life that keeps swerving them into different directions.

This is so because if you don’t know what you want from life, you’ll settle with whatever that life offers you. And if you don’t know the kind of life you want to live, you’ll end up living the kind of life that you don’t want to live. Also if you don’t know what you want. You won’t know the right steps to take to get it.

These realizations come in handy as I strive to change some aspects of my life. And it’s not that I don’t know what I want to accomplish. But there’s a big difference between knowing what I want to accomplish — and having a vivid vision for my life.

When you have a vivid vision for your life, you’ll not only know what you want, or how to accomplish it. But you’re also going to find yourself living a life that is devoid of constant frets — and stress of not knowing what to do next — or not knowing what to do with your life.

A vivid vision enables you to live your life with clarity.

“Clarity is the most important thing. I can compare clarity to pruning in gardening. You know, you need to be clear. If you’re not clear, nothing is going to happen. You have to be clear. Then you have to be confident about your vision. And after that, you just have to put a lot of work in.” Diane Von Furstenberg

Every journey in life becomes somewhat easier to navigate once the destination is established. Because when you’re clear with the destination, you can be able to take the right route, or a quicker route to get to where you’re heading to. Also the paths you’ll take — and the actions that’ll gradually, but surely bring you to your desired destination will now become very clear to you.

Clarity also helps to minimize the chances of committing avoidable errors in life — because you’ll know where you’re going to start from — and the things you would need to get started. Clarity is one of the reasons why some individuals will remain steadfast with what they want to accomplish regardless of the challenges they may encounter.

A vivid vision ensures that you take the right direction in life

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”—Henry David Thoreau

A vivid vision is powerful and effective. It’d always direct you to be making the requisite efforts that’ll ensure that you accomplish every of your relevant task.

You’re also going to be capable of piloting your life confidently in the right direction— and not allowing anyone to misguide you. Or make decisions for you. Your vision is going to constantly serve as a guiding light and with that, you can lead your life confidently.

It’ll also help you to regulate your daily activities by guiding you in the direction that’ll bring about the kind of achievements that you truly want.

Furthermore, A vivid vision plays a vital role in motivating you to always focus on accomplishing relevant tasks — thereby eliminating the chances of wasting efforts on activities that’ll not yield the outcomes that resonate with your values.

How to create a personal vivid vision

To be able to create a clear vision for your life, you first need to have a clear understanding of your values, because personal vision defines values. It influences your personal decisions and commitment to achieve pertinent tasks.

Therefore:

• And what’re the things you’ll spend your time doing If you were given a certain number of days or years to live?

These are thoughts provoking questions that’ll stir up your mind — and help you to create a vision for your life.

Write down your answers — and revisit the same questions after some days to see whether all tally with each other. You’ll continue going until you have the right answers that resonate with your values. And with that, you can create a vision for your life.

Architects don’t use one day to prepare the sketch for their big projects. It takes them some time to get it ready. Because to have an accurate sketch of what they’re going to build, they’d first need to put quite a lot of things into consideration.

Your life is a huge project. So take time as you begin to work on creating a clear vision for your life. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself. It’ll ensure that you won’t go about life in a directionless manner.

Take a cue from the great achievers of our time that we look up to. The one thing they never did was to go about accomplishing anything in life in a desultory manner. They always arm themselves with a vision — and with that, it’s only a matter of time before they actualize all their relevant tasks.

Individuals that don’t have a vivid vision will at times get stuck in life — because they’ll sometimes take a direction that’ll lead them to nowhere good. Conversely, individuals that have a clear vision will always know which direction to take in life.

Ergo, the good life you yearn for is very attainable. You just have to be certain — and clear about what you want. And with that, you’ll know the right direction to steadily channel your efforts and resources to achieve every relevant task.

A vivid vision will also enable you to get back on the right track if you ever find yourself derailed at some point in life.

A clear vision has immense power. It is powerful enough that it draws reality closer to you each day. So do you have a vivid vision of the kind of life you want for yourself? And have you written it down? Go ahead and create one for yourself today.
