If you want to achieve your
goals get a vision
Something that Matt Morris wrote in a recent edition of the Success University newsletter about “
goals” and “vision” really struck me the other day.Here’s what he said: “We all know what a goal is, but vision is a topic of confusion for many. To put it in the simplest of terms, your vision is how you see yourself. You can set
goals all day long, but if you cannot truly see yourself achieving them, your
goals will never be realized. To accomplish a goal, you must truly expect to achieve it.” The key word is “see”. How many of us fail to achieve
goals because we don’t give them real substance in the subconscious by visualizing them taking place? I still have pages of old diaries full of “year
goals” that were never achieved, year in and year out. They were worthy enough
goals, but they lacked any deep vision of success. The problem with setting your
goals without first seeing your vision is that you are failing to appeal to your subconscious mind with pictures that compel. If you do not appeal to your subconscious with a clear picture it is unlikely that your
life will change. As anybody who knows Matt Morris will tell you, he grew up amidst poverty and low expectations.
