How do I move toward my vision of the future? (PLAN) As Michael Hyatt observes, “If the vision is not clear, no strategy will work and it will be impossible to prioritize correctly.” Most people skip the step of clarifying their vision, and their dream remains fuzzy and unspecific. You must define the dream clearly and compellingly before you pursue it. You will only be able to accomplish your vision once you’ve painted it on the canvas of your mind. Vision connotes a visual reality, a portrait of a preferred future. Vision is a picture held in your mind’s eye of the way things could or should be in the days ahead. What do I want the future to look like? (PICTURE) Here are three basic questions to ask the person in the mirror. “Everyone thinks of changing the world,” said Leo Tolstoy, “but no one thinks of changing himself.” This empowering attitude paves the way to self-improvement. The first person I must change is myself. And complainers drag down the morale of everyone around them. You never win when you play the blame game you only whine. Admitting this truth yields self-honesty. The first person to cause me problems is myself. On the contrary, if we have a positive view of ourselves, we will be secure enough to add value to the people around us.
If we think negatively of ourselves, we will seek validation from others-extracting value from them. The first person I must get along with is myself. Human nature seems to endow people with the ability to size up everybody in the world but themselves! When steering a team, as when driving a car, neglecting to check your blind spots can cause you to wreck. The first person I must know is myself this brings self-awareness. If our self-perception is distorted, then our attempts to influence others will be misguided or even manipulative. In leadership, the first person we must examine is ourselves. Take a look at yourself, and then make a change If you wanna make the world a better place And no message could have been any clearer
