Friday Four: Four Tips to Help You Fine-Tune Your Vision

Friday, February 22, 2008

There's nothing more fulfilling than having a dream and vision in life come true... other than perhaps making it come true. Martin Luther King's dream of a better America, one in which all citizens hold each other in equal regard and respect, was no pipe dream; he worked hard to make it happen.

Your vision in life need not be as lofty as King's. If your dream is ultimately to make a difference in the world around you, there are some things you can do to fine-tune your dream and vision to life, ensuring it's the best possible vision you can have that is still plausible and doable.

1. It isn't status quo. Career building opportunities that present themselves to you doing the same old thing, aren't necessarily the best opportunities of which to take advantage. Your vision in life should be a search to improve and make better that which is already being implemented.
2. It improves life. One's career building actions should ideally be centered around making something better. The improvement of the quality of life of the human race speaks wonders of one's vision in life.
3. It looks to the future. When building your career, always look to the future for inspiration and drive. Fine-tune your vision with the possibilities that await you by enhancing what currently exists and looks to improve the lives of those in the not-so-distant future.
4. It's lofty but reachable. The difference between a career building goal and a vision in life is that the latter is inspiring while the other is just another item to tick off one's checklist. Be inspired by something greater than yourself to make your dream and vision in life!
