Reflection
When I saw the opening quote, I thought about the dozens of vision statements I have helped individuals and organizations develop. My goal as a facilitator in the visioning process was to open the eyes of those I was helping to see “potential” frontiers they had never seen before.
A vision statement is what you aspire to be.
It’s a destination that currently seems to be out of your reach.
It is a destination that may always be out of your reach.
But when locked into the vision…
The vision creates energy in your spirit and attitude, which propels you to keep climbing one step at a time.
and
Each step takes you closer to your vision; the closer you get to your dream, the more clarity and focus you gain.
and
The more clarity and focus you have, the more energy you have.
and
So it goes.
and
So you grow.
and
So you go to places you once thought unreachable.
Facts
The people and organizations I worked with who focused on the loftiest visions grew the most.
It’s not rocket science.
Aiming for the stars opens your eyes to frontiers you otherwise would have never known existed.
I always write from experience.
2 Peter 3:18, “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”

P.E.A.C.E.ful Living…
Plan – A dream/goal remains a dream until it is put into writing. Putting your dream or goal in writing is the first step in creating a PLAN to achieve it. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Effort – Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to putting forth consistent and focused EFFORT toward the execution of your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.
Attitude – Your chances of achieving your dream exponentially increase if you believe you will achieve it. Always remember that your ATTITUDE determines your altitude in life.
Community – Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. The chances of achieving your dream expand as your COMMUNITY of positive mentors and coaches expand. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with…and yes, spending time with “people” through books and instructional videos factors into your average.
Energy – Chasing and achieving your dream requires optimal mental, physical, and spiritual levels of ENERGY. Take care of yourself; no one else will.
