Legacy popularity: 1,577 legacy views
In life, you cannot go beyond how far you can dream to go.
You cannot go to any destination you cannot picture in your minds eyes.
Anything you cannot perceive or conceive you cannot achieve.
Vision therefore becomes the foundational requirement for every attainment in life, including financial empowerment.
Your altitude in life determines your horizon (perspective, sphere, scope) and your horizon sets the seal to your reach in life.
Genesis 13:14-15 (KJV)
And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: [15] For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
What is a vision?
A vision is a mental picture of a desired future.
It is the picture of desired destination one dreams of and works towards getting to.
Jeremiah 1:11-12 (KJV)
Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. [12] Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
Amos 7:7-8 (KJV)
Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. [8] And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
Until you can see it with your minds eye, your mind cannot conceive it and the hands cannot pursue it.
