What Do You Mean By Vision?
This is what you see in your within, in other words, it is what you earnestly hope to become.
To be made in life, you must be first self-made.
A former president of the United States of America, as a kid in school, went for a tour of the white house with other kids, and after seeing the splendor and exquisiteness of the government house, he said something within him of the vision he caught on that trip,
“one day I will sit as president in the white house” he carried this dream in him until it became a reality.
You are created to have a dream and to dream big if you truly desire to accomplish great feats.
I was told a story of two young men who traveled to a faraway land, in search of a better life and opportunity, and they eventually got to land, where all the people go barefooted, and one of the men exclaimed,
“in a land of the barefoot, nothing good will be for us here” and immediately he left.
But the other young fellow, saw something, he decided to solve their problem of bare footedness, and he began to make slippers and shoes, the people also loved it and began to buy, that man today is Luis Vuitton.
“Wealth is not in the external world out there; wealth is in the internal world in here”
Wealth is within you.
Whenever I try to relate to people about the concept of being able to see ahead, that is vision, irrespective of the context of vocation.
whether in business, politics, academics, government, the church, or ministry.
I feel there is a vital need to focus on certain relevant and critical truths, for them to understand and know how important the concept of vision is to one’s entire life.
This Important note to take includes:
1. The Poorest People In The World.
1Many folks don’t have an understanding of this subject, so they can’t know why they exist, and they don’t know what their life is meant for.
Probably you use to dream of becoming someone great, but those dreams vanished away due to the troubling circumstances of life or the hard demands of everyday pursuits.
No matter how wealthy you are, if you don’t have a precise vision for your life, you are poor.
The truth is however you try to position your reason for visionless life, you will still live a poor life.
Vision is your journey to destiny, it is your reason for existence, if you truly have a vision,
you wouldn’t stumble on your journey in life because it shows you the path to your destination.
The purpose is what you were born to be, vision is the way that leads to it.
Without vision, you are lost! You must have a dream of what you desire to become in this life because you were not made to end in Nothing.
Your life is intended to have a meaning, it is not meant for fun, there is a reason why you are here, you were born to make a mark until then your life won’t matter.
You are not poor because you have no money, you are poor because you are not relevant, the discovery brings recovery.
When you can see who you are, you have no option but to begin manifesting it.

2. Many Have No Vision.
Most people in this world rarely understand the concept of vision, and when they eventually begin to get successful at what they do, they get comfortable, they rest at their oars, and quit to have further dreams for greater and more impactful pursuits, he or she just relaxes.
They have no vision beyond the level at which they operate. Without a vision for the future, life loses its meaning.
Every improvement and growth you see around you came by conception, that is the ability to see better, it has nothing to do with mere sight, but with creative thoughts and the mind’s eye.
When life lacks meaning then hope is lost. Hopelessness is the evidence of a visionless life.
When people are hopeless about their life condition they get aggrieved about their place of job or family.
You must learn how to be resilient in life if you must achieve your dreams and not give up. And only your vision or dream keeps you going.
Life would simply lose taste to them, like they are just existing, and wasting, even though within their inner being they long for something deeper.
Without a vision, your entire life looks like a toil.
If you want to have a wonderful experience on your life journey, you must have a dream.
You must have a conceptual view of where you want to see yourself, life is not a game of luck or chance.
You have to picture the future that you hopefully want to see, and when it begins to unravel, your life gets filled with precision and meaning.
3. You Can See Beyond The Now.
Someone said, that God gave humans the mind so that they would let Him rest.
This may look true because everything you were born for resides within you, only if you can dare to see through to what it is, the eye can only look but the mind is where you can see through.
A wise man said,
“ where there is a will, there is the way”
Life consists of the records of so many folks who went through hard times and still left their footprints on the sands of history.
Because they eventually saw beyond the turmoil and the heart-burning circumstances to become men and women of great impact.
If you can see beyond the now and above your present situation, that is where the true riches are.
You aren’t rich because you have money, vision isn’t about you, but it’s about the purpose for which you are here on the earth.
It is a journey of impact, it is about bringing progressive change into humanity and life.
But you can’t just begin this without first conceiving the vision of this journey, the road map.
The earnest reality, contrary to many individuals’ assumptions, is that it doesn’t matter what you have at the moment or how much money or how rich you are, as long as you can see what you could have, this is vision, and this is life
It is the vital key to meaningful living, because where dreams exist there hope too is, and hope fortifies your faith to achieve anything.
Faith is what gives life to whatever you hope to become.
Every man’s world begins from the inside of him; that is to say, what you eventually turn out to be in this life is what you envisage, not what society plays out in your life.
You pattern or shape your life from what you prefer it to be, through what your mind’s eye can see as a better life.

conclusion
The lack of vision or dream is the big cause of the lack of focus, depression, and frustration.
Many people are exiting and very far off from living and rarely experiencing life in the full. You first exist, before you begin to live.
Dreams are pictures of a preferred life. You are born with a deposit of seed for great accomplishment, it was worked into you by divinity.
But it is your reasonability to work it out otherwise you would go through life at the whims and the control of those who have dreams to live for.
Someone said, “where there is a will, there is a way”.
As you know this isn’t about the sight of the ordinary eye, it is the ability to think and imagine;
A way to do things in a completely different, acceptable, and of course impactful way.
Your mind is a gift from God to make life a sweet place, but you have got to use it.
It is the place of creative imagination, the place of thought, civilization began in the minds of men
I should call them dreamers, today many of them that held on to their dreams have left their footprints in the sands of history.
change begins in the mind. Dreams and visions are possible with your mind’s eye, and there is no limit to what the mind is capable of.
Whatever you can see with your mind’s eye is possible in the material world here on the planet Earth.
your mind is a fourth-dimensional realm, whatever it can create, is possible in the physical, and whatever it sees is a pointer to what you are capable of accomplishing in the physical world.
So quit limiting your dreams, because they are realistic and true, stop the doubt and the fear.
The poor in the world have no dreams to live for, and the frustrated have dreams but lack the confidence to execute, how about you?
What is your decision, is it to be poor, or frustrated, or is it to be successful? I will advise you to opt-in for success.
But success doesn’t just happen, you must first have a dream, then pursue the dream before you can achieve it and make it a reality. But remember this,
“All dreams are possible and achievable”
perhaps you are reading this post and then thinking, “no way, I am past the age”.
That is a fallacy, because great achievers of history spring from across all age gaps, so age isn’t an excuse not to make happen that dream you have always wanted to see fulfilled.
Hop in and start now, it is better late than never.
