How Big Is Your Vision For 2011?

Hello Friends!

After well over a month of procrastination of not posting any content on my blog. I’m back again… It’s currently 11:16pm in my timezone and I realized I only had 45 minutes left to pump out some content in order to stick to my New Years resolution of posting at a minimum of once a week.

So what I wanted to talk to you about today is having a vision for your life and where you want to go. With today being the first of the year I’m fairly certain that many of you have already broken your own resolutions. With that said, you may just not have a big enough reason why you chose that thing as your resolution.

Here’s an example… When I gave up smoking cigarettes I had a vision of myself on a breathing machine and dying young not being able to watch my children grow up. I also had a vision of myself in bad shape like my father. Many of the consequences that my father is going through right now in his life are a result of him not taking better care of himself in his younger years, and from a history of smoking.

So while this vision is not necessary the way a person typically envisions things for themselves, it is still an extremely powerful and compelling one to say the least. It was powerful enough that it helped give me the incentive to go ahead and make the “choice”<——– KEYWORD: to go ahead and make that change.

If you truly want something in your life you have to be able to see it (in your mind). Now sometimes you may have to see it from the other end of the spectrum like I did and view things from a negative perspective to push you forward to your goals. Here’s another example…

If you have kids I want you to visualize yourself and your children on welfare and living in the worst section of whatever town it is that you live. You have a roach infested apartment and your kids literally have roaches crawling all over them at any given moment of the day.

Not only that, but you also have drug dealing and gun violence in your neighborhood on a daily basis. You’ve even had bullets fly through your window on several occasions nearly striking one of your little ones. Does that vision give you some  incentive or motivation to get off your ass and do what you need to do in order to provide a better life not only for yourself but for your children most importantly? You’re damn right it does!

So my point here is that if living in a mansion and traveling to exotic places whenever you like isn’t enough to get you up out of bed in the morning. Maybe you need to rearrange your vision and think of something a little more extreme. Think of something you don’t want as your motivation to stay away from what you don’t want instead.

Regardless of what you do, all human beings have the same primary function which is to move toward pleasure and stay as far away from pain as possible. So next time think about how painful it might be if you don’t do something to change your circumstances instead of being like the 95% of people out there who are afraid to try something new.
