While your mission centers around what you need to do, a vision is the end result of what you have done. It is the picture of how it will look – your “idealâ€. A vision is the sustaining force that inspires and motivates you. It is the vacuum that pulls you forward. To live without your own vision is to live someone else’s vision. These 10 questions will assist you in clarifying what you are creating, as well as, what you intend to create.

1. What do you care about most?
2. What are you working on that makes a difference?
3. What gifts do you have that you’re currently using? What gifts do you have that you’re not using, but would like to?
4. What will creating your vision do/mean to you?
5. Where would you like to be in three years? five years? ten years? twenty years?
6. What would you do if you were ten times bolder?
7. What do you want more of? less of?
8. If you had only one year to live, how would you want to live it?
9. What “theme†consistently runs through your life, like a thread of gold?
10. What do you want to leave for others after you are gone?

Whether you’re defining your personal, professional, or business vision, the same set of questions can provide you with the inspiration to make every day count! Copyright 2008
