THE POWER OF VISION

Your success in life is not dependent on the state of the economy, the career you intend to pursue or you are either pursuing neither is it what the labour market is saying or the level of connection your godfather has. It is not even determined by your political affiliation like in Nigeria where you either belong to PDP or APC neither  your qualification or the class of degree you possess. It is not determined by the challenges you are passing through at the moment. ‘The road map to becoming a global champion is dependent on your ability to pursue your visions and dreams to the fullest’.

As powerful and important as vision is to life many individuals  have neglected it to the background. In our society today many are living with snapshot of individuals they desire to become like, yet they lack the prerequisite visions and dreams they need to reach their destination. Many of such individuals  ask questions why not me? What do they have that I don’t have? How come they made it so big and I didn’t make it?  They failed to understand that for you to make a mark in life you need an effective power of dreams and visions.

Sight is what is accomplished through the function of the eyes while vision is made effective through the inspiration and revelation of one’s mind. Vision is the key to moving from what was and what is taking us forward into what could be and what has never been before². It is the unseen force that unwrap the unseen world into reality. Vision sets you free from the boundaries of limitation of what the eyes can see and enables you to enter into the liberty of what the mind can feel and imagine. It is the ability to see farther than your physical eyes can see. 

With vision nothing is impossible because as a visionary every impossibility is seen as a ladder to climbing to the top. Vision gives you hope, confidence in the midst of challenges it turns your failures into strategies for accomplishing your goals.  A visionary don’t see failure as anything rather they see failure as fuel for accomplishing visions. Myles Munroe once said that ‘vision creates hope in the midst of discouragement, and gives you patience in the midst of troubles .vision inspire the depressed and motivates those that are pulling down and out. Vision is the foundation for being courageous and the gas or engine of persistence.

Vision is a powerful substance of life yet we have neglected it. Living with vision can be inspiring and wonderful while a life without it can be so dangerous. Myles Munroe once said ‘life is so full of depressing things that you need to learn to live by vision and see with the eyes of faith’ when you walk with the eyes of vision your faith is a activated to do great things beyond your physical strength.
