Vision: Flex Your Future
That foggy windowpane? Don’t wait for it to clear to see what’s next. Don’t wait for clarity—create it. Like any muscle, your vision needs daily exercise. It’s not about predicting the future, but about actively shaping it.
Think of leaders you admire. They didn’t stumble into innovation; they imagined something better. Their daily practice of vision – through reflection, journaling, or even quick brainstorming sessions – kept their minds sharp and ready to seize opportunities.
The lesson is clear: The future is shaped by those willing to imagine something better. By regularly engaging with your aspirations, you become better equipped to navigate uncertainty and spark meaningful change.
Ready to flex your vision muscle? Set aside just 10 minutes today for a “vision sprint.” Ask yourself: Where do I want to be in 12 months—and what bold step can I take this week to move toward it? Don’t just wait for the future; sketch it out yourself.
