Outside of the first week of January, it’s rare that we seriously look inward to evaluate our goals, our direction, or our purpose in life. When you stop to think about it, though, that timing is rather arbitrary. Anytime is a good time to take steps in a positive direction. Especially now: it’s a new school year, it’s a new season, it’s a new economy, it’s a new political climate. For so many reasons, now is the perfect time to stop and reflect on where you’re going and what you want to do with your life.
The first step to making any meaningful change is to create a vision for yourself. No matter where you are in life, a vision is crucial to getting you where you want to be.
- What goals do you have for your career?
- What goals do you hope to accomplish before the end of the year or during the school year?
- How do you plan to use your vision to become a better person?
According to Peter L. Benson, the capacity to generate vision is among life’s most beautiful and unheralded gifts. To him, a vision is more than just a goal, more than just a dream of what could be—it is a summons, a pull towards the future, an inspired call to make real that which should be. In his recent publication, Vision: Awakening Your Potential to Create a Better World, Benson takes readers on an uplifting exploration of this powerful concept.
His book is the inspiration for today’s post, so the first three people who tweet their vision using the hashtag: #myvision, will receive a complimentary copy of Vision by Peter Benson.
