A Life Vision: Why It’s Important and What Happens If You Don’t Have One
Do you have a vision for your life? If not, it’s important that you create one and here are…
The 8 reasons why it’s important to have a life vision:
- Stop getting stuck.
- The problem with not having a life vision is that life will just happen to you. It’s easy to find yourself getting stuck in the same routine day after day and never achieving your goals or living your dreams.
2. Freedom.
- When you don’t have your own life vision, you would be living the life that other people has envisioned for you. You do what they tell you to do. You go when they tell you to go, and they even dictate when you can or cannot take holidays for yourself since they are in control. Sounds familiar?
3. Direction in line with your authentic best self.
- Having a clear life vision gives you a strong sense of direction in life, like having a life compass or a GPS, you would never get lost again. More importantly, it helps you live in alignment with who you truly are, what is most important to you, leading you to where you want to go.
4. Focus.
- It’s important to note that not having your life vision can be detrimental to your personal growth, relationships with other people, career path, financial situation as well as health condition. When you don’t know what you want or where you are going, anything or anywhere is ok. You will be all over the place and you’ll find yourself jumping from career to career, relationship to relationship without purpose.
5. Gratifying and fulfilling life.
- It’s important to have a life vision because you would be more enthusiastic about getting out of bed every morning and building the life you love. Your existence will be far more gratifying and fulfilling when you have a life vision.
6. Confidence.
- People who have their life vision are clear about what they want in life. They know exactly where they are going which brings them confidence to take action. This is why these people seem so successful compared to others who don’t know what or where they’re heading for!
- Successful people just do it because that’s how confident they feel about themselves knowing that whatever choice they make is correct since it aligns with their vision of life and purpose.
7. Higher chance of success.
- Another advantage of having a clear life vision is that it will increase the chance to succeed in all areas of your life. The truth is, there are numerous people who want what you have. And if they can outpace you by having a clearer vision with better life plans, then all the excellent employment, opportunities, and relationships will go to them instead of to you! But you won’t let that happen because you are reading this aren’t you?
8. Impact.
- Life visions are like life goals. However, life goals are too short-term and limited in scope. Life visions can go on for decades! You would also be able to touch more lives with a life vision than you ever could with life goals alone.
What is the problem with not having a life vision?
Most people never think of creating one because they live their lives reacting to whatever happens around them like leaves floating on the river of time, without control over what is happening and where they are headed.
This way it’s easy to just survive but difficult for you to live your dreams. A clear life vision is the first step towards creating an effective strategy that enables you to live every day according to your purpose instead of against it. This will give you back all the time that you would otherwise spend being unhappy.
Without knowing what we want and why we exist, our decisions become weak and indecisive since there is no deeper foundation beneath our actions influencing the choices we make.
It’s time for all of us to take control over our own destinies instead of just letting them “happen” as they may according to fate or chance. I believe having a strong life vision will help everyone become happier people overall, no matter what situations we find ourselves in at any given moment!
So even though developing a life vision may seem like an unnecessary task at first glance — trust me when I say it makes way more sense in the long run for everyone involved!
You definitely won regret creating a magnetic life vision. Just think of how you would impact your loved ones, your community, and the way you would live your life.
I hope that after reading this article you really understand how important it is to have your own life vision before anything else!
