vision: stay inspired and have amazing days

Pondered by Tim Norton over two years ago

You can look at the world in a million and more different ways, the trick to having a great day is to see things from the right angle, preferably the angle that makes you feel no less than fantastic!

1. Keep your vision clear, everyday

We all need a clear vision to get us really pumping enough to drive through each moment with a passion and consistency that leaves us looking back at the day with nothing less than, a woohooo, or that quiet confidence you get from knowing you're on fire. We've all got vision, but you don't have to always be visionary to get your vision clear, if you lose sight temporarily turn to those who can see, and feed off them until you're clear again yourself. Remember, vision is always yours, whether you've created something from scratch, or seen someone elses and developed it in your own way, its your vision.

 

2. Use Other Peoples Vision to wake you up

I've spent the majority of my business life full of ideas and vision, its what pulls me along, I feel if I follow it, life will get better everyday. Theres a lot ahead you can see, when you see something that fires you up try not to just sit looking at the potential of the future in your minds eye, you've got to head towards it, make it happen and roll around having fun in the middle of it once you get there. Vision and getting everyone involved and seeing there own view of it is what drives businesses, and any action. In business, I spend alot of time in detail making things happen in everything from designing products, to marketing and sales, supporting customers and sorting funding, but it seems that my mainstay is seeing and developing the vision so when someone in the crew, a customer, anyone who's connected to the business gets bogged down or lost in the woods, they can use me to get pumped back up, and inspired, be this person, or recognise who they are around you and use them.

 

3. A clear vision comes from living a lot of detail

If you subscribe to the thinking that theres ideas people and theres doers, then this goes right against that. People often say I've got great vision, All I can say back is, I just spend and have spent time involved in the details of enough things so that my mind can in its own time see whats really happening and present a vision. You don't just make a vision, you go around doing things with your eyes open and give your mind something to create a vision from. Even with people who don't think they have good vision, you ask whether they currently see something they don't agree, everyone does, you ask them how they could see it being better, they usually see at least something of the new way. This is the start of vision, it just needs to be expanded, you just need to follow it, find out more about why things are as they are, what things are part of changing things and get on board.

 

4. Connect what you spend your minutes doing with what you're really trying to achieve

In the end the big things you're trying to achieve require a bunch of detail, heaps of end on end moments to bring them to life. So you have to keep this perspective when you're in the moments. You may feel like you're low down chugging away, but if you feel like this, or use this sort of language thats just cementing a persepctive that you can and should let go of, in reality you're doing exacty what you need to do to get what you want, so enjoy the moments, they'll pile up soon enough into your dreams coming true! If you're unhappy with what you have to do today because your vision is further ahead, then you've got to get yourself further towards it, let the fact that you're not quite where you'd like to be, be inspiration for powering through whats on your plate so you get out and past it faster.

    Very inspiring post. Thank you. I love the gung-ho attitude, and I think it’s so essential if you’re trying to building something cool/great/sexy/fabulous. The first step of course is to envision it — to seek some familiarity. That way, it becomes much easier to make it a reality.
