The Power of Having a Vision

About this video

In this short video the creator introduces developing a vision as a key concept that changed his life. He defines vision as the big picture of your dreams and goals — the thing that gives you ‘juice’ and motivation to get out and take action steps toward what you want. He criticises society’s conditioning to be ‘realistic,’ arguing that the label is garbage because it keeps people thinking inside a box they were forced into and prevents steps toward their goals. He then gives three steps to put a vision into action: first, actually get a vision; second, write that vision down and revisit it every day, because engraving it into your mind makes your actions begin to follow until it becomes reality; and third, share the vision by making a public declaration to someone — he invites viewers to comment, message him, or contact him on Facebook or Twitter. He closes with the idea that you do not have to be great to get started, you have to get started to become great, and his sign-off line: control your life, don’t let life control you.
