How many times have our friends and family asked us, “What do you want to do when you grow up?” It’s a question we are frequently asked, but we do not always know the answer.
It’s okay not to know all the answers. Growing up, we often find ourselves wondering what we want to do with our life. No one but you yourself can discover the answer. It is not necessary to know the answer from the start, but it is important to have a vision. Your vision, the way in which you see yourself and the people and things around you, speaks a lot about you. It defines your character. Having a vision is like giving a GPS system to yourself. Your vision navigates you to your destiny. Your vision makes the world the way you want it to be.
Your vision makes you the best you can be each day of your life. It makes you dream and cherish the small moments of life. In passionate pursuit of your highest ideal, you learn to ignore the critic’s chatter.
To make the vision work, you will need to set priorities and plan ahead of time. Forget the laid back attitude of delaying. ‘Do it now’ will have to be your motto. With a vision, many of your professional and personal desires come true – only if you yourself write the script of your life. Visualize and imagine how you want your life to be and make it that way.
Have a vision, live your life according to your vision, work hard and you will definitely arrive at the destiny you chose in the beginning. Give your best and let life do the rest. And if you fail in the first attempt… always remember that failure is also a part of life.
