The Power of Vision

Those without a vision perish! It's the truth...but why is that? I believe the number one reason vision allows us to "not perish", but prosper, is because it allows us to see...even in the darkest of times! Vision allows us to see through the circumstances, the challenges and the ups and downs in the road that tend to block our view. If you have vision, it doesn't matter what comes up or down to block your way...a detour is never the final destination...I say "never", as long as you have VISION!
Vision allows us to seek that which we desire to discover. Isn't it interesting that the word "SEEk" begins with SEE? We cannot be that which we cannot see! That is precisely why each of us has been uniquely crafted with a very specific vision and purpose in mind. Does a fish need to be told to swim, a bird told to fly, a retreiver to retreive? No! Why is that? Because that is what they are, and that is what they do...innately!
We as humans are innately gifted with certain dreams and desires, as well as talents, needed to fulfill those desires. It is that internal desire that leads and guides us to discover our destiny. It is how we see ourselves that will determine whether or not we will fulfill our destiny.
How do you see yourself? How has this affected your vision? Where are you going and what do you see? A lot of times people will respond by saying, "I don't know". Well, if you do not know, than I will rephrase the question, "Where would you like to go and what would you like to see?" Allow yourself to dream, imagine, and reflect the vision that is already on the inside of you...disguised as "desire". Desire will direct you to your discovery and ulimately your destiny!
The power of discovery begins with the power of your vision! It is time to put the magnifying glass toward your future and that which shines ahead of you...it will ignite the passion that lies within you and is ready to reflect that brilliance ahead of you!

Healthfully yours,
