Ways to Set a Vision for Your Life

Do you feel like you are walking through your life in the dark? That you have no clear vision or direction and that you are just going around in circles? Do you feel lost? If so, you are not alone. Most men feel like that at some point in their lives. Creating a vision statement can help. If you need direction, here are 10 ways to help set a vision for your life.

Work to resolve old wounds

Work to resolve old wounds

It is difficult to embrace a new vision for your life while being hampered by old wounds that have not been tended to. Spend some time in introspection. Are you harboring resentment? Do you need to forgive someone? Are you hanging on to hurt that needs healing? Be honest about those feelings, seek out wise counsel, and start the restoration process so you can move on.

Understand it is not about you

Understand it is not about you

If you are like me, you think highly of yourself and your importance. However, we are not the center of the universe. Seek out a vision for your life that makes the world better for others.

Explore your passion and talents

Explore your passion and talents

Scottish Olympic runner Eric Liddell famously said, “God made me fast and when I run, I feel His pleasure.’’ We were all made with God-given talents. What passions and talent do you have that will make you feel like Liddell when you use it? The time has come for you to give that gift to the world.

Spend time with people you admire

Spend time with people you admire

Seek out people whose lives you admire. Ask them how they got where they are and why they do what they do. Perhaps even sce if they would be willing to meet regularly.

Envision what you want your life to look like

Envision what you want your life to look like

Think about an end goal. What do you want your life to look like? What type of man/woman do you want to be? What do you want your family to look like? What would you like your career to be? Picture it and see it in vivid detail.

Do not limit yourself

Do not limit yourself

Dream big. Do not allow fear or a lack of confidence to shortchange your vision. If your vision does not make you at least a little uncomfortable, then you probably are not dreaming big enough. It should be scary but also exciting.

Get feedback and buy-in from trusted sources

Get feedback and buy-in from trusted sources

Ask the people closest to you if your vision is on point, particularly your family. Make changes based on their feed-back and make sure you get buy-in.

Write a mission statement and list action steps

Write a mission statement and list action steps

Think of a one-sentence statement that encapsulates your vision. Write it down and put it somewhere you can see it. Then write down three-to-five action steps that you will focus on the next couple of months that will bring you closer to reaching your vision. When you have accomplished those action steps, come up with new ones.

Find accountability

Find accountability

Seek out people that will encourage you and hold you accountable to stay on course. Ask them to press you on it.

Be flexible

Be flexible

Be open to the fact that your vision may need to be changed or tweaked as time goes on and circumstances become different. Think of your vision as a living thing.
