How we achieve our personal vision without developing self-motivation skills?
Answers
Answer:
As well as success being personal, there are many different ways in which it could be defined and measured: fame, fortune, recognition, personal integrity, discovering something new to the world, or even just doing your job to the best of your ability.
It is important to be clear about what ‘success’ would look like to you.
As the first step to developing your vision, it may be worth writing down how success will look. Define as many aspects of it as possible for you, but also identify the one most important aspect (money, fame, family etc).
Success will also look different across different areas of your life. It may be helpful to identify particular areas, and think about them separately.
Useful distinctions include:
Formal or informal study and learning
Career or professional life
Personal life and relationships
Hobbies or sport
Inspiration and Influence
In thinking about success, it may be helpful to think about people who have influenced you, and also people whom you find inspiring.
These may be:
People you know, who have said or done things that have affected how you perceive success, or what you want to achieve in life;
People in the public eye, who you may wish to emulate in some way, or to avoid doing what they have done; and
Historical or even fictional characters whom you feel are particularly like or unlike you, or who did particularly good or bad things.
How to Use Your Vision
At this stage, you should have a broad picture of what success will look like for you in each sphere of your life, and which elements are most important to you. This, broadly, is your vision.
You can think of your vision as the picture on the cover of the jigsaw box. It guides you and gives you an overall picture of what you are trying to achieve. When it comes to actually putting the pieces together, however, you have to rely on the way that they look and how they fit together in practice: the picture is probably not detailed enough to help.
In other words, your vision needs to give you a broad picture of where you are going: what sort of life you want, how you want to live, what you want to achieve. It does not, however, have to be in huge detail.
Although it is the guide that keeps you to the path despite new and challenging information, it should also be open to change when you receive new information about yourself.
A Guiding Hand
Your vision is your guide to developing your personal strategy. It helps you to ensure that what you do gets you where you want to be.
Be warned though: if you find that you want to do things that do not fit your vision, it may be time to redefine the vision!
