I have to say, I'm a big fan of Jordan Peterson. He has a way of adressing the problems of life directly, always with a very clear answer.

One thing he said is that you should have a vision for your life.

A vision for your life doesn't come by itself. You have to build your vision. You have to carefully construct your vision, making sure it fits into your capabilities or or that you can improve your capacity to be able to bring your vision to life.

Piece it together, not as a flight of fancy but as a clear picture of something you can change your existence in to.

That is the one thing you have to remember. Once you have a vision for your life, you will probably have to change to make that vision your reality. If you did not need to change, you would have fulfilled your vision already.

The willingness to change and to work towards your vision changes it from a flight of fantasy to a life reality.

At 56 I have this fantasy of looking like a fitness model. I wanted to say supermodel but somehow that sounds too girly. This fantasy have been with me as long as forever and it never became part of my reality. As part of my vision however there came a change.

With a vision comes a passion and a willingness to do what it takes. I started working on an exercise program. I started working toward a goal. I started marking my progress.

A vision for your life, isn't about reaching a goal in just one area of your existence. It includes everything you are, everything you do and everything you relate to. It's an awesome picture of what the better you will look like sometime in the hopefully near future.

In a previous post I have a video on using the mirror principle. I it's about your thoughts and emotions together to reach what you really want in life. Build your vision and adapt to become that image.

There is only one catch to it all.

Whatever you want to become, do it with love and concidirat. Don't push others down to lift yourself up. That is a life principle. You will never keep what you gained by trampling others into the ground. You will never reach your full potential by taking what's not yours.

Now that's some food for thought. Take piece of paper and start building your vision and become the awesome person you are.
