Every body knows what to do, but how to do it is more of the Problem and that's where vision is necessary, sometime ago I was having a discussion with my boss and he said the reason why people do not really get a lot done is basically lack of effective visionary planning. ... By that he means that when people have vision, they want to get to that point were all factors are possible , were Everything is in place to make the vision a reality, so you see that they get to wait for like a very long time, mostly letting go of the great vision they once had.
He told me when you have a good vision, you break that vision into smaller chunk of daily, weekly and monthly effective planning and execution, what that means is that 5 years 10 years plan is not too far, the way you see it to be, so you have to consciously make daily effort towards your goals, you should sleep on it, wake on, it should be on your mind day in day out, everyday you gear you towards that weekly goals, continue till it all add up into your accomplishmented vision.
A man of vision is some one who is focused, purpose driven determined to actualise what he has set before him, vision will mould your character, will constraint you from certain things....
Vision connotes direction, so to achieve that vision one must be mindful of side attraction or say distraction,
vision to me fixing your eye sight on something you wish to accomplish and get done, mostly long term but like I said you don't just hold on till then, but conciously working Your way through to it every day that you sleep and wake, your mind should be stayed on it till its achieve.
This is where we have so many dead dreams and vision lying in shallow graves somewhere because the careers of these vision were waiting for the prime time, the perfect moment to strike, this misconception has clouded our minds till this day, this is coming from the place of self motivatiin and the right mentorship to change our mindset, narratives and perspectives about our views about vision...
The Difference
Knowing what to do and not being able to do it, is quite different from Not Knowing what to do at all, what vision does is giving you direction but not the means of how to get there, so other factors like determination, perseverance, consistency, staying focus etc.... Now come in to play a huge role in driving you there.
That's why a lot of people will give up despite having a very fantastic vision, just because the necessary tool and means are not available now, instead of moving with all of these other factors they choose to wait till the timing is perfect for them which will rarely come through, most unlikely.
Opportunity Is Everything
I have come to realise that opportunity is everything along side a man of vision, when a man has vision without procrastination or hesitation to do he will surely prosper without a doubt, now when you have a vision and you get on it without hesitation and act on it, whether the means are available or not what happens is that as you progress towards each of the stage more opportunities are made available to you, these opportunities will start coming as a support system to you to help you actualise your vision which ordinarily wouldn't have been possible if you never made up your mind to go against all odds.
