Where there is no vision, the people perish.--Proverbs 29:18

Vision weaves 4 essential things into our daily living:

(1) Passion. A clear, focused vision, allows you to experience ahead of
time the emotions associated with an anticipated future. These emotions
serve to reinforce your commitment to the vision. How? By providing a
sneak preview of things to come.

(2) Motivation. Vision is the reason you completed college. Think of all
the seemingly wasted hours of study: science labs, European history,
research papers. Much of what you were memorizing seemed like a waste of
time and effort. But you did it. Why? Because of what could be. A
degree: and beyond that, a dream fulfilled.

(3) Direction. Vision serves as a roadmap. It simplifies the
decision-making process. Anything that moves us closer to our vision
gets a green light, everything else is approached with caution. Vision
will prioritise your values, bring what's important to the surface and
weed out anything that stands in your way. Without vision, good things
will keep you from achieving great things. People without clear vision
are easily distracted. They've a tendency to drift from one thing to
another. They've no spiritual, relational, financial, or moral compass;
consequently, they make decisions that rob them of their dreams.

(4) Purpose. Vision gives you a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
If you don't show up, something important won't happen. Suddenly your
life matters! It matters a lot! Without you, what could be - won't be.
So, protect your vision!
