Vision


Without vision for your life, you’re going nowhere. Without vision, a leader is leading no one, not even himself.   

July’s Awakening, Day 24

Christian leadership . . . appears to break down into five main ingredients—clear vision, hard work, dogged perseverance, humble service and iron discipline.

 —John R. W. Stott

The indispensable quality of leadership is vision.

  —John C. Maxwell 

People buy into the leader, then the vision.

 —John C. Maxwell 

Who you are is who you attract.

 —John C. Maxwell

The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight but has no vision.

 —Helen Keller

 

Where there is no vision, the people perish: Proverbs 29:18a KJV

 

            Vision is what separates the most successful leaders from the rest of the crowd. Vision is the innate ability to distinctly know where a person, group, or entity is at the present, and where that entity’s ultimate achievable goal and level can be and how to get there. It is more than just goals, aspirations, and dreams. It is all that with the distinct knowledge and implementable plan, the perfect detailed roadmap, of how to get there.

            Again, as we’ve seen, it is the character of the leader that people must trust and follow, regardless of how amazing the vision and perfect the plan may appear. You the leader, are what will be embraced by the followers first. Also realize that there most assuredly is a law of attraction, whereby you will attract those most like yourself and your character with like-minded goals and aspirations. But beware, you may also attract similar character flaws as well. Balance is always the key and diversity can keep harmony.

            Discover God’s vision for your life and how to implement His plan. When you know where you’re going, you can lead others to the Promised Land too.
