Friday Four: Four Reasons Why A Clear Vision is Important to World Change

Friday, April 18, 2008

If your career building goals are a little more lofty than, say, 'make a million dollars then retire,' you may need a little more than a good battle plan. You are going to have to go into the fray with a clear-cut vision. Here are four reasons why having a clear cut vision is absolutely necessary if you want to change the world.

1. Vision unites people. A vision in life that is clear and concise, one that aims to do something for the greater good of the majority, will unite people of different backgrounds and social classes. As a career building goal, make it your point to develop a vision of life and career objectives that speaks to a great number of people about the greater good.

2. Vision inspires and motivates people. If you are the career building type who believes that man is innately good, then a vision in life that aims to change the world will inspire people. A vision in life that is focused on social improvement will move people to action, which is the kind of career building effort that you want.

3. Vision focuses people. Proverbs 29:18 says "without vision, the people perish." When career building efforts are centered on a vision, people move with focus and direction. It is clear where they are headed, and they know how to get there.

4. Vision challenges the faith of people. When people work towards a vision in life, it challenges their faith. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the evidence of things not seen." When a vision in life is set, it gives people something tangible to work for, yet at the same time, it challenges them to "see" how they'll actually make the end result of their vision a tangible reality.
