In this post today, I am preaching to myself as well as encouraging you. I want to encourage you that whatever your vision is for the future in your life, it is truly possible. Having a pure and honest vision is having purpose in life. You must be diligent in focusing and refocusing on that vision you have.

Maybe you’re sitting there thinking, “I don’t have any vision, how do I get one?” Ask yourself these three questions,

What interests me as a person?

What skills can I apply to that interest?

What would happen if I pursued this interest and skill?

In asking yourself these questions you begin to dream and creation of a vision for your future begins to form in your mind.

Now imagine yourself acting on those dreams and seeing yourself being successful. This is the power of positive thinking. The more you positively reinforce your thoughts about your passion, the closer you will be to taking real action to pursue it.

Reality checks are not out of the question either. You have to think about reality as well as your dream. Sit down and realistically write down what it would take mentally, emotionally, what sort of time you would need and if money is involved then how much you will need. This is planning for your vision.

Begin taking a small action a day. You will see them build as time goes on and you will learn a lot about yourself and your abilities. Learn something new pertaining to your vision, create something that will help you take a step towards seeing your vision be born, spend time considering what may help you gain your vision faster. Learning is never a waste of time.

There’s a good quote I read recently, “you can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” -Andre Gide

What a beautiful truth! If we never take a chance to see our vision come to pass, then we will never know what could have been. I encourage you, don’t give up on your dream, your vision. Remember that God placed it within your heart to pursue. He created you with awesome potential and He is here to help you reach it to the fullest!

Habbakuk 2:2 says, “The Lord answered me and said, “Write the vision down on tablets so that he who reads it may run with it.” God wants you to write out your vision and dreams. He wants to see you succeed. In so doing, you may help some other soul to find their own vision.

Philippians 4:8-9 says, ”  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Your vision has purpose, it has beautiful and pure potential. Your positive thoughts toward your vision will help to build up your spirit and open new doors that you never thought possible. Think on these things.

Don’t fear as you take your first steps toward building your vision. Hold fast to God who gave it to you, and hold fast to your potential. You are a butterfly awaiting to emerge. Never give up hope!

Have a beautiful day!
