3 Key Components to Supercharge Your Results, Part 1: Vision and Planning
Are you actively creating your future, or just “going with the flow” and letting life move you casually to what lies ahead? The reality is that many people are on auto-pilot, heading towards a default future because they haven’t put in the time and effort to create the future that they truly desire.
You want to reach higher levels of success, and that means you need to step out of the pathway towards a “default future” and instead start living in a way that moves towards your “created future.” The shift begins with a focused effort on your vision and planning.
Different Life Journeys: Default Future vs. Created Future
Living in a way that leads you towards a default future means that you are following a path without deliberate planning. The results that you achieve along the way are automatic based on your baseline habits and circumstances. It’s a passive way of approaching life, usually leading to subpar results.
On the other hand, a created future means that you are intentional in designing your life. You have a clear vision of where you are going in the future, and you are deliberate about planning and preparing for the things that you desire. With this approach, you are proactive about choosing the habits and circumstances that set you up for success.
The Power of Vision
As you are shifting gears to move into a way of living based on a created future, vision is the foundation that you need to keep going. Getting clear on your vision is one of the most important things you can do that will make it easier than ever to make the small, important decisions that lead to the life that you desire.
Vision is important for these reasons:
- Vision gives you a clear destination in the future
- Vision provides direction for where you are going
- Vision motivates and inspires you to action
- Vision ensures that your actions align with your long-term goals
- Vision is the most effective filter for quality decision-making
Designing a Roadmap for Success
Once your vision is in place, then it’s time to create a roadmap. This step-by-step plan includes actions you will take and milestones that need to be met in order for you to achieve your created future. Planning is critical because it gives you a sense of progress and control. At the same time, you have specific action steps and strategies for overcoming potential obstacles that will definitely come up along the way.
