Creating a Compelling Vision of the Future

All right, welcome back to the Daily Mastermind, George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. Today, I want to get you started with the quote of the day from Confucius, and it is one joy dispels a hundred cares. One joy dispels a hundred cares. I think this speaks really to that powerful concept of gratitude. Because all of the worries in the world, all the cares in the world, they're not going to really matter if you can actually create happiness, gratitude, and joy in your life. So yesterday, what we did is we kind of talked a little bit about getting out of this rut in your life. And we talked about getting out of the rut by really making a key decision. Recognizing the things in your life that are in a rut, the patterns, the changes, but then really making a key decision because you have to make it a must. You really have to make it not just something you want, but something you've got to create. And so today, I want to talk to you about how you can create a compelling vision of the future because when you create that compelling vision of the future, it's going to motivate and inspire you to go to the next level. And that's really, really super important, you know, because, look, you may feel like you're either hitting a plateau or you may feel like you've created some kind of a rut or you're stuck in your life, but you've got to find a way to really get your vision moving towards the future. Because what happens when we're in a rut is we're sometimes we're stuck in the past. We're stuck in these things that are kind of pulling us back. We're feeling like we're not moving forward, but we're really not getting that compelling vision of the future to move forward. So I want to inspire you and motivate you today by kind of going through this a little bit with you. Sometimes you need to really take a step back, look at what you're trying to accomplish. So let me ask you this. Do you have a vision of where you want to be in two to five years? Do you have a vision of where and what it is you want to accomplish? What is your path? What is your purpose? What is your plan? Do you have a plan? And if you have a plan, is it clear to you? Or do you just feel like you're working towards a direction, but you don't really know what it is that you're trying to accomplish or maybe you're not passionate about it. Because without a vision without a vision you never create the progress or the happiness that you want in life because you never move forward You just going to be drifting and drifting is the enemy of success So the first thing I want you to do is I want you to recognize that there are seasons in life. There is always seasons and cycles in life. So where you are in life right now is not where you were before. You might be looking at a vision that suited your life a while ago and not today. You might be looking at a vision that was based on who you were a year ago, two years ago, five years ago, ten years ago. And so where you are in life, you've got to recognize that there are seasons. And regardless of the season you're in, you've got to have a compelling vision. And your vision can change. You've got to understand it can change from time to time. And maybe it's time for you to create a new vision in your life because the one that you have is not motivating you to move forward. The one you have is not creating that burning desire to get to the next level. And so also understand, you know, in seasons of your life, you don't have to necessarily have a crystal clear upfront picture of where you want to be. A crystal clear upfront picture of where you want to be. So just understand that you might need to step back because you're in a different place right now. You're in a place where you need to recraft your vision. You need to change what you're doing. It might even be needing to change because of your unique talents and your abilities and your skill levels or your opportunities. but regardless you've got to create a vision of where you want to be in two to four five ten years down the road so let's talk a little bit about creating a powerful vision that also includes purpose and passion because sometimes our vision and this is really important you need to make sure that your vision is not one of someone else's that you've just attached to a lot of times you find this when people get involved with certain types of masterminds or network marketing or even certain companies, they attach their compelling vision of the future to the company's mission, the company's vision. And there's nothing wrong with that, but you need a powerful, empowering definition of a vision for yourself. And that's got to involve some purpose and passion. So let's talk about that for a second. Because purpose and passion will destroy that rut that you have. The purpose and passion is going to help you to get out of it. Passion is about the emotions. Passion is about the emotions, the motivation, and what makes us feel good, right this is the this is the passion that you need to have in your life what are the emotions motivation and things that make you feel good What do you love to do What do you love to do And what are your unique talents You know, we've talked about your unique talents in the past, and unique talents are things that you're excellent but passionate about. So you've got to find that you're going to be much more passionate about things you're great at, right? So find your passions, the things that you love to do, and this is a case in point, those are going to change over time. Passions are going to change. Your emotions are going to change based on your experiences. So what is it that you love? What are your unique talents? What are the things that you are excellent and passionate about? Then I want you to move over to purpose. And purpose is the reason. Purpose is the reason or the why behind why you do certain things. And it's primarily for other people that you need to tie this, right? This purpose is not why you do things because you want to have money, because you want to be able to have whatever you have in life. Your purpose has got to be something that drives you to a greater good. What drives you to do what you do that's going to also create impact in the world? Because remember, passion and purpose is going to also lead you towards fulfillment. And so your passion and purpose is going to help you drive. So here's the thing. Understand that you're at a new place in your life. Even if you are doing well or even if you're feeling like you're stuck in a rut, you've got to clarify and crystallize your passion. And your passion and your purpose and your vision, vision is what we're talking about here, the passion and purpose has to be built into that vision. And then I want you to start to, as you start to clarify that vision and stretch yourself a little bit, stretch yourself out there, create clarity around it. And clarity is going to be exactly what it means. What specifically, when you see your vision, what does it feel like? What does it look like? What does it sound like? What does it feel overall? When you engage those emotions and those senses in a vision, it goes from just being like, you know, wishes to reality. Because your subconscious mind doesn't know the difference. Your subconscious mind doesn't know the difference. So your goal is to create a vision that is so clear that is so real that is so vivid that your subconscious mind wants to have that and make that happen And that when your reticular activating system and everything works in to help you accomplish what you trying to do So that what I want you to do I want you to clear up and crystallize your vision And when you identifying that you in a rut, you've made a decision to move forward and you can clear, clearly see what you're trying to accomplish with your vision. That's when some things are going to really happen for you. That's when you're going to start to move to the next level. And that's where tomorrow we're going to talk a little bit about flooding yourself and creating certainty and then taking massive action with discipline over the next couple of days. And so we're spending this week kind of talking about how to get you out of a rut, but I don't want to let you leave until I go through the 12 prosperity pillars with you.
