No one can ever expect to feel fulfilled or to be living a life of meaning, unless they have a clear vision and mission for the future. The two greatest tragedies in life is to either, never have a mission or vision for the future or to feel like you have fully achieved your life’s mission, leaving you with no challenge or vision for the future.

Dare to take a hard look at yourself today. Are you on track to take your life or business to where you want them to go, are you doing what you want to do and becoming who you really want to be? Set some quiet “You Time” aside and reflect on these two questions. Try to discover what the mirror of your mind is reflecting back to you about who you are and more importantly who you can become.

What is your mind reflecting back to you about who you are? Do you like what you see?
What image is coming to you about who you can or will be in the future?
You know where you have been and where you are right now in your life. Only you can accurately predict where you are going to go in the future. You do this by committing to build a crystal picture in your mind of exactly what you want in the future and then you use this picture to drive your thoughts and daily actions going forward. What you dream about, think about and act upon daily, will determine how your future will unfold.

Nothing you have done in the past is wasted

Where you are right now is the perfect place to start building the future of your dreams . As you reflect on who you are and who you can become, understand that almost everything you have experienced in the past will serve you in the future. All your past experiences, both good and bad, blend together as wisdom and knowledge and create the wonderful diverse persona that is you. Your uniqueness and special blend of experience, knowledge, skill and ability make you a force to be reckoned with.

Action Idea: As a starting point to get your mind thinking in the right direction, ask yourself these few questions.

What is most important for you to achieve as a vocation in the future?
What vision do you have for your Health and fitness ?
What financial dreams to you want to realise?
What is your spiritual quest? How do you want to evolve spiritually?
How to you want your relationships with your family to evolve?
What do you want to contribute to the world?
What legacy do you want to leave behind?
Keep exploring and examining these questions and allow yourself to keep growing and evolving, as you travel through your life. The answers you may feel appropriate today, will no longer feel appropriate five or ten years from now, once you have reached a number of milestones on you path to your future.

Set your Passion Free

Always strive to bring passion into your purpose and know that when you have a vision and you are driven by your mission, you are in control of your life. Having a vision and mission in life, does not only allow you to live a life of meaning and fulfilment. Research has also shown that people with purpose, passion and drive get to live on average ten years longer too. Having a mission and a vision to follow will never wear you out. On the other hand, having no idea where you are going, blundering blindly from one day to the next, delivers a life filled with regret, which will most certainly wear you out, delivering a spent person at the end of it all to a geriatric park.

Dare to discover your Passion and Purpose

Be inspired every day to learn as much as you can, always look to gain skills and knowledge, so that you can wake up each day a little better than you were the day before. Find a cause bigger than yourself, something that benefits humankind. Search and discover what it is you want to do with the rest of your life and then pull the trigger, start constructing the future you desire, one small action at a time and through daily discipline and dedication, allow your life to unfold, exactly how you have envisioned it.

Action Idea: If there was no limit to your financial resources, you had a copious amount of time available and your circumstances allowed. What one idea really inspires you, what would you do with the remainder of your life? Use the picture that comes into your mind to start building a vision for your future. Why can’t you realise and live your passion ? The way your future will unfold is after all completely up to you.
