As I sit here writing this post, I used to think it always a waste of time to think about how to create a vision for my life? Who does that? How did they get there? What can I learn that will prepare me for life after college?
Fast forward to now, I started to learn how to change my mindset, my life, and my habits, I started to realize something: people tend to avoid creating a vision for their lives because they believe it won't exist. They always ask themselves: "Why make a vision when it’s impossible to accomplish those things anyway?"
I’ve also noticed something very common over the years: the most interesting, accomplished people I know all have a vision for their lives. They seem to know what comes next, like they’ve seen the future. They celebrate the little wins after completing them.
On the other hand, the people I usually meet or know are the ones stuck and have that hopeless look in their eyes, like they’re just passing time in life without joy or aspiration, those people don’t have a vision. In fact, many of them don’t even have long-term goals. This was painfully true.
