WHAT IS VISION?

Leadership is the special ability to influence others. To lead you must have vision.

Vision is the ability to see beyond what others can see. Vision is the ability to dream big. Vision is to see with closed eyes what people with open eyes cannot see. Vision is to build empires in your mind by the power of imagination. Too many people have sight but only a few have vision.

Vision is the key to understanding leadership. To be a leader without a vision is to be a blind man leading other blind men.

Vision is what motivates followers to follow their leader’s dream. Every follower wants to be part of the team that accomplished the vision. Vision excites followers to be committed to work.

-If you must succeed in life then you must take time to determine exactly what it is you want to do with your life.

-An unexamined life is not worth living. Without a clear vision of your life, you are as good as a dead man.

-The secret of a successful life is to determine what is your purpose in life to do and then do it.

-To accomplish great things in life, you will have to first of all have a big dream.

What are your goals for the next 1,3,5…..10 years?

Until you answer the following questions, you are not yet ready to lead.

(1}What do I want to do?

(2)What do I want to be?

(3)What do I want to see?

(4)What do I want to have?

(5) Where do I want to go?

(6)What would I like to share?

No one ever accomplishes anything of consequence without a goal. Goal setting is the strongest human force for self –motivation…..Paul Myer

Research shows that about 95% of people have never written out their goals in life. Of the 5% who have,95% have achieved their goals. In 1953 at Yale University, 3% of the graduating class had specific written goals for their lives. In 1975 research found out that the 3% who wrote down their goals had accomplished more than the other 97% put together.

GUIDELINES FOR GOAL SETTING

Your goals must include others

Your goals must be worthwhile

Your goals must be clear

Your goals must be measurable

Your goals must be expandable

Your goals must be filled with conviction

                     BENEFITS OF GOAL SETTING

(1)Goals make decision making process easier

When you know your direction in life after setting your goals, you can easily evaluate and make wise decisions. You no longer allow circumstances determine your direction

(2)Goals help mental and physical health

Most oil workers and government workers die after retirement because they failed to set goals for the future.

(3)Goals will make people respect you

People will naturally respect and follow any man who knows where he is going.

(4)Goals help you to feel fulfilled

Once you accomplish a project, you feel fulfilled and believe you can do more.

What you cannot measure. You cannot monitor

(5)Goals produce persistence

People who quit too easily are people who have no goals

Your vision will keep you going. Habakkuk 2:2

(6)Goals deliver you from living in the past

When you have goals to accomplish, you cannot be deceived by the applause of your past glories. You will forget the things which are behind and reach out for the things which are ahead. Philippians 3:14

NUGGETS ON VISION

# If you don’t know where you are going you will probably wind up somewhere else

# The world gives way for the man who knows where he is going

# Too much association with visionless people will blur your vision until you finally lose sight of your true identity

# If you follow the crowd. No man will follow you. Develop your vision and men will follow you.

IF YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING IN LIFE YOU WILL BE AMAZED HOW OPPURTUNITIES WILL COME TO HELP YOU GET THERE…..You can easily recognize opputunities
