Visions: Are They Minefields to Failure or Roads to Success

Most of us don’t like failure. Which really is a shame. Because failure is going to happen. There is no getting away from it. Failure is a fact of life, like death and taxes. You cannot avoid it.

• Imagine our success
• Repeat positive thinking mantras
• Put story boards together
• Hang positive affirmations on the bathroom mirror or refrigerator

It turns out having a Vision is important – no real surprise there – but that there is a delicate balance between being ‘task’ focused and ‘Vision’ focused.

If you start to think about your bigger picture when wrestling with recent failures, it destroys your motivation to keep going.

• Making this practical isn’t as difficult as it might seem. Yes, write your Vision . And break it down into daily tasks.
• When you first start out – keep your Vision in focus. It will help you get your momentum going.
• Once you’re in motion and begin evaluating how you’re doing, keep focused on the task(s) at hand. Keep your brain power focused on what you are doing rather than where you want to go.
• When you’re feeling brilliant and checking tasks off your list or you are closing in on completing your Vision, then keep your eyes on the big picture.
