“If you have a clear vision, you will eventually attract the right strategy. If you don’t have a clear vision, no strategy will save you.”
—Mike Hyatt
Most people wander through life without a clear purpose or vision. They don’t have a clear picture of or realize that they can create their desired life . Some things may happen to these people while wandering;
1. They are unable to see opportunities when they present themselves.
2. They aren’t ready for the opportunities when they come their way.
3. They believe they aren’t ready for the opportunities that appear.
When we stop wandering and identify our purpose or dream, we attract different chances or opportunities into our lives. I believe that some of these chances are tests. Will we be brave enough to take them? Will we even recognize them? Pursuing a dream gives us the confidence and belief to give these chances a shot.
No matter how small the achievement, it encourages us to try the next chance that comes our way. Fist pump! We did it! Every time we stretch and accomplish something new, we want more. We actually begin to believe in ourselves more. Growth may become addictive. Trust me on this. Chasing a goal or a dream readies us for opportunities that we may never have seen coming! In fact, I am always on the lookout for success possibilities.
Here are four questions to help you get closer to your purpose and/or dream;
What would you do if you had no limitations?
What would you do if you only had five years to live?
What would you do if you had unlimited resources?
What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
Take some time to reflect on these…write down your answers. Clarify your purpose or dream and then just make a move, no matter how small, in that direction. Thoreau says, “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.”
Go for it!
