“If your vision is for a year, plant wheat. If your vision is for a decade, plant trees. If your vision is for a lifetime, plant people.” – Chinese Proverb
Steve Jobs had a vision to fit a thousand songs in your pocket. And he wanted the user-experience to be intuitive, even to a child.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a vision for racial equality and lost his life in the cause.
Ray Kroc had a vision for uniformity, which led to the rise of McDonald’s restaurants all over the country and gave birth to the rise of the franchise business concept.
All of these men had vision.
All of these men had grit.
They had to overcome extreme obstacles in pursuit of their vision.
Do you have a vision that’s driving you?
What is it?
It doesn’t have to be as grandiose as the ones I listed above. It doesn’t have to be nationwide or worldwide.
But it does need to be compelling.
It does need to be meaningful.
It does need to get you out of bed each morning.
Part of this is an excerpt from my book, Life Doc: How to Succeed in Life Without Losing Your Faith, Family, and Friends.
