Motivation And Your Personal Vision - An Unbeatable Force
By ken harness
Motivation can take you far, but it can take you even further
if you first find your vision. Your vision will motivate and guide
you on your journey to success and personal fullfillment. Trying
to succeed at anything without first having a clear vision of what
it is you want to accomplish will only lead to you going around in
circles and eventually giving up in frustration.
To develop your vision, you must look inside yourself. Vision comes
from within, from the spirit or subconscious, whatever you choose
to call it. Every one has a vision that is uniquely their own, and you
are no different. the hard part comes in understanding your personal
vision and how it applies to your personal motivation plan.
Your vision will most likely not come suddenly like some bolt of
lightning out of the sky. Instead, it will grow from your
experiences, talents, dreams, and desires, so don't try to rush
it. Instead, keep your motivation and allow your vision to reveal
itself through you.
Here are five steps you can use to effectively find your vision:
1. Learn to listen to your inner voice. Since your vision starts
from inside you, you should learn to listen and feel what your mind
and heart truly desire. What stirs you? What is your greatest
desire? What kind of dreams do you have? If what you think you want
does not really come from the inner depths of your heart and soul,
then you will find it difficult, if not impossible, to not give up
before you achieve it.
2. Prepare yourself mentally. Your vision begins in your mind and
heart. It is something that burns within your soul. it should be
greater than your all of your past memories, mistakes, and
accomplishments. If you know what your vision is, you will have a
purpose and won't get lost on your journey. Discouragement is the
outcome of not having a ditinct vision. If you don't know where
you're going or how to get there, the journey will seem a lot
longer and harder.
In order to seek your vision, retreat to a quiet and tranquil place,
a place that will allow your mind to think creatively and concentrate
on your vision.
3. Seek out other motivated vision seekers. Greatness breeds greatness,
and it is for this reason that you should seek out the company of others
who can appreciate and support your vision. Hang with the winners and
it will keep your motivation high.
4. Keep a notebook and pen handy. All too often, when seeking a vision,
it is easy to forget that it is 90 percent inspiration, as American
inventor Thomas Edison said. With that in mind, you never know when your
vision is going to come to fruition, so keep a small notebook with you
at all times, even on your nightstand when you sleep, and write down
whatever comes to mind, no matter how silly it seems at the time. You
may write down a hundred crazy ideas but number one hundred and one
just might be the vision you were searching for. Don't try to edit
right now, just write down everything that comes to mind.
5. Don't try to fully understand your vision. The vision you are
seeking will most likely come to you in ways that you won't fully
understand at the moment. That's okay. Just follow as much of your
vision as you can right now, and more will be revealed to you as time
goes on.
All truly successful people have a vision that they follow, no
matter what challenges they may face, to it's eventual outcome. Begin
following the above steps to seek your vision today and remember that
true, lasting success will never come to you until you know what your
vision is and how you will follow it. And you will be unstoppable if
you combine your personal vision with a healthy dose of motivation.
