As I promised, this week I am going to briefly discuss the last three topics introduced in the last week article Goals, Keys to Success, How Would You Define Them? Follow Three Easy Steps.
These three topics are vision, change, and persistence. Let's look at each definition separately.
Firstly, "vision is not seeing things as they are, but as they will be." In my opinions, no one should be surprised by this definition. It is a very basic one.
But because we often forget the basics, this reminder is as important as a first learn definition.
Do you have a vision? If you do, what is it? If you don't, why not? It is very important that you have a vision.
Someone without a vision is comparable to a schizophrenic person; they live on a day-to-day basis.
They wander around, go places without a reason. They don't think about what tomorrow may bring.
Your vision may sound absurd to people even to you sometime but don't give up. You have nothing to loose but all to win.
You never know; your vision could change the world for the better. Think of the effect of the White Brothers' vision on the world today!
I believe that anyone without a vision is someone with no future.
With this ever-changing world, everyone should expect something in the future, and this expectation will help them adapting to this constant change in life.
With that I move to the next topic: "change-one thing that remains constant is change." If you take this definition literally, you would reject it right off the bat.
But do yourself a favor by looking deeper into the meaning of this definition. Take your mind as an example.
How many times you have an idea in mind for a minute and change it the next? There are too many examples to support this statement about change.
The world and its inhabitants change constantly. Some of these changes are man made changes while some are natural changes. No matter what you do, it is subject to change, voluntarily or involuntarily. No one could escape the constant effect of change.
