Vision
Posted by nathan on 13 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: my life., thoughts on life.
Last week, I came up with something really smart. At least, I think it was smart. I don’t know where I got it from, I can’t think of anyone who’s said it before, but I would assume it did not originate with me.
Talking about vision, what vision is and how to cast vision, I realized that talking about vision past-tense isn’t vision-casting, it’s a history lesson.
And history is boring (to most people).
But talking about the future, what are we going to accomplish, now there is something people can rally around and get excited about. We all know we don’t have the future 100% figured out, but if you don’t have a goal, I can guarantee you’ll never arrive where you aren’t heading.
Vision-casting isn’t about the past, it’s about the future.
My friends, you can’t cast vision often enough. Talk about the future of your marriage, your future house, the future _________. Future, future, future.
And no, you cannot talk about the future too much.

My wife and I have a vision of a debt-free lifestyle, and we’re doing everything we can to make it. We (ok, I) love talking about it to anyone who will listen. I am truly passionate about getting out of debt, and helping anyone who is interested! Talking about it helps it seem more real and attainable to me.
