- "We lift ourselves by our thought, we climb upon our vision of
ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge
your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you
long to be, always, everywhere - your ideal of what you long to attain
- the ideal of health, efficiency, success."
- Orison Swett Marden
Do you surround yourself with visionaries? People with vision can look down life's pathway and imagine themselves on the road to success. They don't dwell on yesterday's disappointments and problems. They take what they learned from them and apply it to similar situations as they arise. They look at the people around them and ask, "Where do we want to go from here, and what is the best way to get there?"
Visionaries give input, they have opinions, but they are also open to advice. They realize that their destination is off in the future, all they really have now is the journey and they enjoy and live in each step along the way. They don't work from their insecurities and weaknesses, but from their confidence in their strengths.
Visionaries don't have time or tolerance for idle gossip and supposition. When something of that nature is brought to them, they brush it aside and don't let their thoughts engage in trivial wonderings. Visionaries know there is work to do and they are eager to begin each day. They get things accomplished and prepare for the next challenge. Visionaries know that they can learn from others. They don't feel that it's weak to ask for help, they understand that there is much to learn. Vision is not a solitary thing, it is something that increases in stamina when it is shared with others.
