BE VISIONARY

Luke 14:28

Vision conceives, determination sustains, and passion executes the goals, but all are pivotal to success. Without the first, the subsequent will lack the air to breath. Therefore be visionary.

Many among men fail in their endeavours in life. This is a sad but indisputable fact of life. Although men are indisputably bigger than the ants in appearance but they are, in fact, far littler than these insects in their power of conception of workable ideas. There are two sets of creatures I have critically studied and discovered that they are truly very little but mighty in wisdom.

Ants gather their food at the right season because of their vision-oriented ability. They have no reason to be afraid of hunger in the time of scarcity. Termites, their kinsmen, though also of little size, build sky scrapers to dwell in and design a befitting palace for their king to live, complete with the attachment of regular band of soldiers to watch over their revered ruler.

I doubt if anyone can convincingly prove to me that these little inhabitants of the earth ever achieved such feats without great vision. Vision is the invisible eye through which man sees potentials – what is possible. Vision drops the roadmap but rarely does it force anyone to follow the path that leads to great accomplishment.

It is also vision that gives birth to workable ideas, but without the mother you cannot have the workable idea which is the baby. Engage your mind actively in the work of meditation and it will give back to you the expected product of deep thought, I mean, the needed vision. The level of a man’s vision determines the level of the man’s exploits. Therefore, think big and thereby expand the horizon of your success territory.

Never confine your innate ability, let it out to garner fortune for you. In solitude the prudent heart produces a valuable repository of reasoning, but a man who lives continuously in frivolity will undoubtedly fill his life with many avoidable empty dreams and mirage of wishes. But to arrive safely at your desired destination of sweet accomplishment God is a must to have in your life, and Jesus the only able pilot you need for a consistent smooth navigation.
