Your vision will go as far as your eyes can see; what do you see? How good is your sight, how far are you seeing? How far you can see depends strongly on the magnitude of imaginative pictures your mind can create and store. I am not talking about your eyeballs of course; I am describing a mental picture, a kind of sight possible only with the mind’s eye.
Vision in this context goes beyond your physical organ for sight, it’s a combination of all senses that determines and paints a picture that makes the individual senses to get up every morning; a reason for living and being; a drive, sense of purpose and reason for existence. That is what I am talking about.
Most of us are very good at planning and envisioning, yet we remain stagnant and happen not to make progress. Although our mind’s eye has taken us places and we have imagined greatness in life, we have not put the machinery in place that will galvanize us toward fulfillment. So you realize that in the last 5 or 10 years there have been no updates to your visions and dreams, because you are yet to attain them. This is happening because you have not put-in the measure of work, focus, commitment or all round investment into achieving them.
My friends, it is just natural for your vision to become clearer and refined or redefined and updated as you get closer; even with our physical eyes. The same thing applies to the visions of our heart; they become updated and clearer as we work and walk towards them.
What is the reach of your vision? What is your envisioned sphere of impact? Are you limiting your visions to personal and family spheres or are you expanding them for significant global impact? You do not have to be known all over the world or the continent before you achieve global impact. All you need is a vision that is larger than you, something that impacts positively on others.
I will like you to remember that global impact does not just happen; it is the combination of a series of local impacts that result in global impact. So the question is what local impact are you making? Our contributions in the little corners of the earth will sum up to give us positive global changes; but it begins with your vision. How far can your vision go?
