| Writing a Vision is putting your dreams to paper |
Casting a vision can sometimes be like casting a spell, If you do not know where and how you just have some vague outcome you are chasing.
I think visions are so important in terms of a project or a dream. We need to make our dream a reality, but how about starting with verbalizing it.
Putting things in writing can be like a miracle. It shakes off all the vague parts.
I think the best part of writing a vision is that covers so many things. It captures a lot in a few words, it is simply amazing.
How to begin?

| Starting a journey; Crafting a vision |
I think just focusing on writing one statement can be painful. We look at all the inspirational vision statements pasted all over the internet and go "Damn, I wish I could write like this".
I have been there and I can relate with that. So I decided to focus more on what I wanted to do. I asked myself did I have clarity and so I thought giving it more thought would not be useful. I decided to keep a note or a journal of the impressions I had.
Just Begin...Imperfect is perfect

| Having a poorly written statement is a beginning |
I wrote a Personal Vision statement and it seemed overly ambitious to me. Sometimes I would think it is overly exaggerated and sometimes I felt it captured how I felt.
Instead of getting sucked into the dilemma of things I decided to just write one down and use it.
I wrote one down, It was just me using words and not trying to keep it impressive or wordy.
I wanted it to relate to my dreams. That was all I wanted.
Testing your vision

Now Just don't write it, you need to test it as well. Create small targets that you could use.
Keep these targets time bound. Review your performance regularly.
Action tells you a lot about what is happening, just relying on feelings is not enough. We need concrete feedback to understand if we are going in the right direction.
Re-write and move on
 |
| Rewrite and move ahead |
You want to re-write your vision statement for whatever reason. I think you must do it after a lot of forethought and reviewing all that you have learnt from the process.
You have a lot of matter to work with. Don't take it as starting a new journey but approach it like a sequel to something awesome.
Conclusion
I do believe in the power of a good vision, but having said that I do think that verbalising it is also quite powerful.
A lot of times lack of clarity can stifle us from making healthy decisions, but action pushes you ahead.
I hope this article got you thinking on crafting a better vision statement.
That's it for now, catch you in the next post, Ciao!
