Let me explain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhere there is no vision [focus, attention, or forethought], the people perish [in the area of no vision]\u2026\u201d &#8211; <\/span><\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/bible.com\/1\/pro.29.18.kjv\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bible.com\/1\/pro.29.18.kjv<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without a vision [statement], you die, you are destroyed, you pass away, or you end up in ruin.\u00a0 Let me give you an example.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have no vision for your education, you\u2019ll stop right where you are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No vision for your marriage, you can pretty much guarantee that marriage will end in ruin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No vision for your career, it\u2019s not going anywhere.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything that ends well, had a vision for it\u2019s successful ending.\u00a0 What are you envisioning?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Thought or Concept:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need a &#8220;vision statement&#8221; if you want to have a course or destination you wish to reach with your life.\u00a0 The word vision means to have sight. What are you seeing for your life? Vision is that statement that makes faith possible.\u00a0 If you can see your dreams, then you see the things that fuels faith that makes it possible.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Practice:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now let\u2019s talk about how to create your &#8220;vision statement.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>The one sentence vision statement.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 If you\u2019ve never created one, start with one sentence to make it easy.\u00a0 What is it that you see yourself doing that you\u2019re not currently doing?\u00a0 What\u2019s your desire? Write it down. This is the first step in making it happen.\u00a0 Once you write it down, it\u2019s like starting up your GPS app. Once the coordinates have been entered, your life will begin to travel the path to reach that destination.\u00a0 Without it, the GPS for life can only display where you are.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>The vision narrative.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 When you\u2019ve gotten the one sentence approach down, it\u2019s time to move on to the narrative.\u00a0 Break it down into its logical pieces. Then begin describing the pieces as you see them. If you need help, get with a friend and perform this exercise verbally so that you can hear yourself speaking the words you need to put to paper.\u00a0 The narrative will explain in more detail what you desire to see.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>The working vision plan.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 Because I like planning, I take the narrative a little further.\u00a0 I create a working binder which is a part of our \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/product\/the-family-plan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family Plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d to add as much detail as possible.\u00a0 This binder gives me the place to store and collect all the ideas that come once I\u2019ve completed the &#8220;vision statement&#8221; and the &#8220;vision narrative.&#8221;\u00a0 Trust me when I say this, when you write your plans down, things start to happen at a surprisingly quick pace.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your &#8220;vision statement&#8221; is important to keep your family together, motivated, and shielded from distractions.\u00a0 Why not start one today to see where it will take you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today is Friday!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have a destination you\u2019d like to reach, but you will never reach it without a plan and your plan needs some vision.\u00a0 You need to be able to see it before you see it.
