DEVELOP A VISION THAT FITS YOU
Looking at the future with new eyes can be intimidating. It might lead someone to reevaluate a career that has brought success but no joy. Or promp another to pursue more professional training. Reevaluation can lead to change and therefore risk.
But the key to develop a vision that fits your unique strenghts and gifts. In the other words, a future you can have a passion for. Ask yourself, what would I do if there were no risk of failure? What would I keep doing, even if I were not paid for the work? If you can’t decide whether to call an activity “work” or “play”, your enjoyment for the task will empower achievement and enrich your life far beyond reputation or salary.
So, think about things you enjoy doing, tasks you do well and personal work others have noticed. A good mentor then advise:
· Dream, pray and look for a vision.
· Take stock of your resources and get any needed training.
· Develop an action plan with specific goals and deadlines.
· Modify your plan as you go along.
Someone said we should look at our talents, then envision the future adorned with them. Our future is as personal and unique as our own fingerprint. It is energizing to recognize and use our true talents generously. As we do, the future can, indeed, be faced with great anticipation!
