Season 4 Episode 264
Today we are going to focus on making the rubber meet the road in our life strategic plan by developing a vision statement.
Story from last week: Dr Ken Berry - https://www.youtube.com/user/KenDBerry
>>What I realized
Main topic of the Show: Develop Personal Vision
Set: The difference between vision and purpose is both simple and complex: Your purpose is your why. Your vision is your so what. And both of them have some "how" built in. This is why we so often see overlap in these statements.
But your vision defines your true north. It is the one flag you can set. I am going here so that these things will happen. And your purpose comes along to add "because this is why I exist." Today we are going to focus on making the rubber meet the road in our life strategic plan.
This phase will take some work as you go through it. I have found that it is much faster to come to a conclusion on vision if I have a coach poking holes in what I say. A coach asking the same questions we will ask in this podcast. And a coach willing to tell me "That is bullshit" or "I dont understand what you are trying to say." So as you embark on this, think about who you can use as a sounding board.
Two weeks ago, we agreed to build our own success no matter what our environment. We talked about it the day before the election. A day before people started calling for lists of Trump Supporters so that they could be tracked down and punished for their support. A day before the nation, once again saw an election that was so close that it was impossible to know who won. We are divided despite the fact that most of us want mostly the same things in life. We just think we are different. We think that our differing opinions are vast chasms rather than slight leanings. And once we are so divided, it is easy to control us by eliciting emotional reactions.
And that is ScaryAF because you and I know that most will not wake up until it is too late for them.
But you and I are different. We are willing to do the work now to set ourselves up for stability and success.
We are willing to ask ourselves hard questions.
We are willing to set a goal post, and to walk toward it no matter what the environment.
We will take the steps we need to take to make our lives as good as they can be and own that we sometimes will make mistakes and have to deal with them.
And we will stop blaming things in the environment when we stumble. Because that is a waste of energy. A waste of energy that you can use to get up faster and keep moving.
Two weeks ago, we ran through developing a life purpose. Did you do it? Or was it just another podcast porn episode where you wish you would someday maybe think about getting started on something for you. I know you might be tired. Hell -- I am super tired. But even though you are tired. Take an extra few minutes to go back and work on that purpose if you have not.
Because purpose is your why.
Why? Why are you here? Why is your family here? This was the question you answered in our last show about developing your family or personal strategic plan. Or more straightforwardly: You answered your aspirational why.
