Well given these quotes from these
great men, i can tell you vision is
important. I mean if you lose both of
your eyes, it would be kind of hard to
drive a car! So, anyway, once you
figure out your wants and needs, its
time to visualize where you see
yourself going, 1, 2, 5, even 10 years
from now. You visualize yourself
doing something, meeting that need,
filling that void in your life where the
need is at. Remember, where there's
a bleed, there's a need
(R.McJohnsworthy). The most goal
oriented people in this world and the
most successful producers in the
universe have a vision. They see
what's going on; they see how things
are, were, and are going to be; they
see their path, their road that they
take - in short they know where they
are going. One of the beginnings of a
championship mindset is
visualization. Think about it: what if
it were dark all the time - no sunlight
or no light at all - bad! But when that
sun comes up, man you got it! Jesus
is the light of the world! And He
wants you to shine with Him!
So, again, formulate in your mind a
vision, a dream, of what you want to
be, where you want to go, and what
you want to do, and how to meet your
daily needs and wants. Gotta have a
vision, some insight on your life you
see. If you are going to win the goal
medal, you gotta go the extra mile.
Don't you know, gold does shine too!
Don't forget, usually if it's daytime,
there is a light at the end of the
tunnel. It's kind of hard to be the
best fighter pilot AND wear
Blu-Blockers sunglasses, too! So
don't develop tunnel vision that you
ignore solid advice - just develop
your sight, cuz victory is around the
corner. Hellen Keller said that "the
only thing worse than being blind is
having sight but no vision." So be
smart, if you got 2 eyes, formulate a
master vision of where you want to
be. Also, the old story goes that there
is a pot of gold at the end of every
rainbow, and a leprechaun waiting to
greet you. While you may not receive
a pot of gold if you find the end of a
rainbow, you still got dat man, Jesus
Christ!
So remember, formulate your vision,
even write it down if you have to...but
one thing is for sure, some rabbits
still fight over carrots! The eye!
