Revisit Vision
I believe that many people think that vision is overrated and oversold. In both business and church circles successful leaders develop the habit of visiting and revisiting vision. I am of the opinion that revisiting vision is as important as revisiting your goals. Revisiting my monthly goals is like renewing my mind to my purpose. Many times after revisiting my goals, I realize that my pursuits are off course, and I am not reaching my fullest potential. It is the same with vision.
We are in a time where we watch companies rise and fall. My dad used to say; new brooms sweep good. This saying is applied to upstart companies and most of them seem to start well. After a few weeks as you revisit them, you may see some weakness or failures. It usually starts with the cleaning of the bathrooms. Have you ever noticed the demise of many convenience stores starts with the unclean bathrooms? Have you also noticed the sign; if this bathroom is unclean, please tell a clerk? Have you went so far as to tell the clerk? I have, to no avail. The loss of influence and excellence begins when you see companies and churches violating their own vision and values.
Like the convenience store that violates their own standard for a clean bathroom, the beginning of failure for most organizations is the failure to revisit their vision plan. They begin to operate by need and circumstance rather than vision and values. The word says; where there is no vision, my people perish. The word perish does not mean to die. It means to fail, to be incomplete, to be undone.
Vision is your tracking device, much like a GPS for life destination.
Do you know the vision for your life? If so, renew it today, pursue it, and stay on track.
Revisit your vision today!
