Dream and Vision

Lonely Sunflower has often heard people and friends talking about their dreams. How they would like to turn their dreams true and how much effort they want to put in to make dreams true.

Well, as I believe in dreaming the ambitious dreams, until this earth turns magical such that all your dreams will come true at a blink of eyes, we people got to have "something" that is more than your dreams.

Something stronger, more powerful.

That “something” is called Vision.

Right Sunflower would like to clarify, this does not mean anything to do with your eye sight. And I think you know that I refer to the personal vision for yourself or myself. A statement of intent to do something great in your life and near future.

We need a clear path for our life. That's the best I should say, a path so clear that you know what your life would be like 5, 10, 20, 30 years down the road. You may say life is unpredictable why worry for much. Well, a person without the plan is like driving a car aimlessly, isn't it?

A vision is a stronger than strong statement of what you wish to accomplish. Just check out the companies, most of them have a strong vision for their businesses. Vision is always the same.

A dream, on the other hand, is pliable and subject to change from circumstances negative or positive outside of you.

That’s why people who have a solid vision for themselves can’t fail. It’s mathematically impossible to fail. They simply work toward the vision and don’t ever quit.

You got a dream?

Great. Marvellous. Go for it.

But I prefer you to go one up by stating your intent, your VISION.
