Why do you need to have a vision for your life?
It leads you to examine it—to see patterns, the stories you tell about yourself, your values. It helps guide your decisions and defines what you want to do and the people you want to help. A life vision provides a path, a direction for where you’re headed.
Here are some of my favorite vision statements:
Oprah Winfrey’s: “To be a teacher. And to be known for inspiring my students to be more than they thought they could be.”
Sir Richard Branson’s: “To have fun in [my] journey through life and learn from [my] mistakes.”
Paul Jarvis’s, one of my favorite online entrepreneurs: “Be useful. Give freely. Stay simple. Keep track.”
