The power of a compelling vision: why you need one

Are you tired of wandering aimlessly through life, following the dreams and passions of others, and feeling like you're stuck in a never-ending cycle of monotony? I know that feeling all too well. Before I discovered the importance of a compelling vision, my life lacked purpose, passion, and progress. I was merely going through the motions, living up to society's expectations, and never really knowing what I truly wanted.

For years, when asked about my career aspirations, I struggled to provide a genuine answer. I would mumble something about wanting my boss's job or seeking job security and financial stability. I was clueless about my own desires and aspirations, trapped in the illusion of what I was supposed to want. Without a clear vision for my future, I had no real purpose, no motivating goals, and absolutely no self-discipline. It was a repetitive cycle of uninspiring days.

All of this changed in 2021 when I discovered my life's purpose: helping other women through life coaching. I embarked on a journey to become a certified coach and start my own business. However, I soon realized that achieving this goal, while maintaining a full-time job in project management, would demand an entirely different level of commitment and self-discipline. It required a profound "why" to keep me motivated.

As Simon Sinek aptly put it, "No one buys your what, they buy your why." I initially attempted to push forward without a compelling reason, thinking that merely identifying my purpose would be enough to propel me into action. But that wasn't the case.

So, I set out to create a truly compelling vision for myself. I wanted a vision that would evoke interest, attention, and admiration, one that was impossible to refute, and, most importantly, one that was overwhelming in its power. I wanted something that would light a fire within me, something that would make me leap out of bed in the morning, ready to take on the world.

I crafted a vision so vivid and detailed that I could see myself living it. I envisioned the people who would surround me, how I would spend my days, and where I would be. More importantly, I could feel the emotions associated with that vision. To this day, I occasionally drive my 2014 Toyota Prius while imagining myself as a CEO in a BMW, making decisions and conquering my fears. That vision transforms my anxiety into action.

What sets my compelling vision apart is that it aligns perfectly with my core values. Aligning your vision with your values is crucial; without this alignment, you'll encounter resistance and self-sabotage, hindering your progress. When your vision harmonizes with your values, victories become attainable.

I couldn't have achieved any of this without a compelling vision. It provided me with a roadmap, a destination, and a frame of reference. It showed me where to begin and where I was headed.

If you, like me, aspire to achieve your biggest dreams, the most audacious goals, and the life you've always wanted, then it's time to create your compelling vision. Ensure that it aligns with your values and get to work!
