Whenever you are looking into a mirror, if you feel like you are empty from the inside, you do not have either the purpose of living or the personal vision to manage your life properly.
Don’t worry it is not only a problem inside yourself. It is a common problem for many people around the world.
When we have to live the same way with the same things, when we have to do a job, we don’t like, when we believe that nothing we do will work, we become bored with life.
That boredom makes you feel like you are nothing, nor valuable. Sometimes that feelings lead to make attempts to suicide, harm own selves and also it becomes the main cause for some problems like stresses, anxieties, etc.
Therefore, it is very important to know your personal vision for your own good.
What is a vision?
Vision is the dream of your life. It describes the long-term desired outcomes of all your efforts in life. Vision gives you the answers to the question, “Why am I here?” “What should I do with my life?”
Your vision will guide your life, it will control all the internal and external factors in your life such as, actions, desires, mindset, and physical environment, surrounding people and a lot more.
Once you have a vision for living, it basically provides a purpose or a direction to go forward. That is why it is called “a life without purpose,” because it is nothing.
If a person doesn’t have a dream for their life, they will lose it at some point. This current social environment is too complex and disturbing to all the people.
Ever-changing socio-economic backgrounds have created huge competition and a lot of stress in people’s lives. In such a context, if you don’t have your own dreams for your life, you will end up working to achieve someone else’s..
Example of a famous vision statement is “A computer on every desk and in every home” Bill Gates of Microsoft.
Importance of a vision
“Failing to plan means planning to fail”
Benjamin Franklin
A life without proper inspiration will not be successful. It is more beneficial for you if you can fix a vision from your childhood. From the very beginning, children should be encouraged to write down their dreams for life, and they must be taught how to act according to their goals. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t had any vision so far.
You can start it today by writing down a creative vision based on your personal preferences. Remember that choosing the right vision will provide you with endless inspiration. It helps boost the energy within you.
It gathers all your skills, abilities, mind, body, and activities and focuses them in one direction. Imagine how much you can achieve when you gather all your pulses into one.
How to find your personal vision
Pay attention to the below points when you are setting up your life vision.
1. Dream Big
Vision should not be something that is taken for granted. Remember, this is the ultimate purpose of your life. Therefore, a vision should be created with an open mind without limiting it to any factor. and should be set out with wisdom.
Just think that you want to be more specific and pay more attention when deciding the ultimate purpose of your life in this world. Therefore, be serious and wise when you set up the big plan for your life.
2. Explore yourself
You know better about yourself than anyone else. List down your strengths and weaknesses. Make the best use of the strengths and find the best ways to overcome the weaknesses. Knowing yourself is very much important for setting up a reliable life vision.
3. Identify the core values
Core value is the trait or belief that you care the most. Examples are Integrity, Spirituality, Humanity, and Selflessness etc… This will shape the vision in the most wanted way. Core value will provide the guideline for the decisions, actions and behaviors.
4. Make it fixed and visible
– A vision statement should not be versatile. If the vision tends to change all the time, it will create instability. Ever-changing vision will not bring you the required results. Therefore, invest adequate time and effort in deciding the best vision statement for your life.
Make the vision visible wherever possible, whether on a desktop, mobile wallpaper, on a wall, or within a closet. It really helps to remind your brain and guide you in every action, word, and behavior. If you want to keep this a secret, try using symbols.
