Don’t Put Your Vision on a Shelf

Now that you have created a personal vision statement. We can expand these into our goals an aspirations. We looked at our physical, spiritual, work or career, family, social relationships, financial security, mental improvement and attention, and fun things that we want to achieve in the next year and five years.  Now how do we expand these into goals and inspirations?  The next step that I want you to take, is to write each of your visions into sentences.  These sentences should be exactly what you will obtain and the sentence use emotional words. 

For example By this time next year I will have written and published an inspirational book on Motivational Business Leadership.  I will publish this book on Amazon.

Now that you have your goals for this coming year and the next five years, place the list next to your bed.  Every morning and every night pick up the list and read the list.  Feel these things as being a part of your life and existing now.  Before you know if this will become a part of your life and your vision will become your reality.  One last thing make this something that is a living list as you accomplish something add a new goal.  If you have additional goals add them to the list. 

Thoughts become reality…..

Create A Personal Vision Statement

Your personal vision statement guides your life and provides the direction necessary to chart the course of your days and the choices you make about your career. Your personal vision statement is the light shining in the darkness toward which you turn to find your way. It illuminates your way.

Your life has a number of important facets or dimensions, all of which deserve some attention in your personal vision statement. Write one important goal for each of them: physical, spiritual, work or career, family, social relationships, financial security, mental improvement and attention, and fun.

•If you never had to work another day in your life, how would you spend your time instead of working?

•When your life is ending, what will you regret not doing, seeing, or achieving?

•What strengths have other people commented on about you and your accomplishments? What strengths do you see in yourself?

•What weaknesses have other people commented on about you and what do you believe are your weaknesses?

My own personal vision statement includes such items as reading and writing every day; coaching and training; writing a motivational book; sharing a lifetime of knowledge about people, management, and workplaces with a vast international audience; having a positive impact on every person with whom I come in contact; living daily a life dedicated to integrity, commitment, challenge, and joy; valuing a few close friends; valuing family relationships; being at all times aware of and engaged in my natural environment; inventing and writing about recipes and food; traveling the world to experience its richness; watching plays and movies; listening to music; never having to worry about money
