| A
vision inspires us to accomplish
what we are most passionate and
committed to achieve. It helps us
stay focused on our priorities and
decide how best to use our most
precious resource - time.
Here
is my vision: 'I inspire
people to discover their courage
so that they lead fulfilling and
meaningful lives'. This
statement helps me focus on how
I can live a 'courageous' life while
helping others do the same. It means
trying new ideas and activities
that expand my comfort zone to insure
that I grow as an individual, as
a father, as a husband, as a friend,
and as a Coach.
The
following 5-step process is a simple
and straightforward formula for
creating your Vision. Your Vision
will create excitement and positive
energy for you and others who read
and experience it. |
 |
| 1.
|
Start
with the word 'I' - Your
Vision is all about 'you', so we start
with the word 'I'. |
|
| 2. |
Action
Word - what do we do for others
- words of action like discover, help,
motivate, support, teach, direct,
coach, provide. |
|
| 3. |
Who,
or What, do I direct the action
toward - who is your action
directed to? Examples include people,
athletes, young adults, animals,
people with special needs, artists,
etc. |
| |
| 4. |
The
Outcome or the result of the action
- this is the result of the action.
In my example, 'to discover their
courage'. |
| |
| 5. |
The
Benefit of the outcome -
this is the benefit of the action.
It answers the question: What's in
it for me? The benefit is preceded
by the words 'so that'. |
| |
| Most
people do not have a Vision because
they simply have not taken the time
(usually one-hour) to create one.
Is it worth one-hour of your time
to think about, gain clarity, and
create your vision to help guide your
future? What other priorities are
more important? If you want some help
and guidance in creating your Vision
statement, give me a call. |
