"Can you spell vision? Its the S-I-O-N that tricks them all."

What is vision? Well its a fancy word for a dream.
My dreams in life would be to get married and have a family, be an example of Christ, serve and love others, live a life that will allow me to live with my family forever.
Thus, my vision is...To life a life that'll inspire my family and those I serve and love to follow Christ that I may be able to spend the next life with him and them.

In Proverbs 29:18 it reads, "Where there is no vision, the people perish..." Well shoot. How do we get it you ask?
John C. Maxwell advises the following steps:
1. Do a gut check. Ask yourself questions like; What excites me? What makes me cry? What makes me dream? What gives me hope? What change would I like to see in the world? & in myself?
2. Then write it down. Formulate your answers from the previous questions into an elequente statment, paragraph, or essay.
3. Measure yourself. Read over that vision to remind yourself. Ask yourself, 'What am I doing now to further my vision?'. Then ask others close to you what they think is your vision. Naturally, if they can tell you what the key elements of your vision are then you are living your vision.

Once you've created a vision the next question becomes, How do I achieve it?
Well allow me to introduce you to the road map to acheiving your vision: GOALS! Now we all make goals all the time, often times leaving them unachieved, unrecognized, or even unestablished. However, goals allow us to create steps to acheiving our vision and are proof of the progress we are making. So make goals for yourself that are smaller than your over-arching vision in life. Mine are as follows:
1. Get married in the temple
2. Raise a family in the gospel (& make family prayer a daily activity)
3. Do my own regular scripture study and prayer
4. Magnify my calling that I may be able to love and serve those around me
Now that've I've shared them with the world, I will be held accountable for these goals...how're you going to keep yourself accountable?

To conclude, a few words from the former CEO of Pepsi and Apple computers John Sculley-
"The future belongs to those who see possibilities before the become obvious"

So what's your vision?
