Following are a few simple ways through which we can

manage to add meaning and some degree of contentment

to our life.

1. LIST YOUR ROLES IN LIFE

Understanding the design of life as our Creator intended

and our place within it is the most important role of all.

Apart from that, all of our roles can be divided into two

main categories; mandated or elective. Mandated roles

are those that your ideology doesn’t allow to drop under

any circumstances. These include the role of father, son,

or brother. Elective roles are those that your ideology

permits you to drop under certain conditions. These

would include the role of employee or a friend.

Categorizing your roles into these main groups is the first step towards creating

balance in your life and making it more rewarding.

2. ENVISION EACH ROLE SEPARATELY

After categorizing your roles, the second step is to identify the vision behind each

of your roles. The vision that you associate with each role needs to be

comprehensive, covering the areas of physical, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional

development.

Sometimes we disregard the fact that life isn’t just about career and wealth. There

are other roles that need to be taken care of too. Failing to envision them or

missing any of the four critical perspectives of the vision can put that role in such

serious trouble that it cannot be resolved with money.

3. HAVE A CLEAR PURPOSE

BEHIND VISIONS

To have a vision is to

visualize the future of each

of your roles. However,

simply visualizing the role

is not enough. There must

be a worthwhile and

significant purpose behind

your vision. If your vision is

‘what’, then the purpose

behind that vision is the ‘why’.

A clear purpose provides a sound foundation and a strong justification for the vision

and is the main motivating force behind it.

Often, people with vague or weak purposes of vision or no purpose

at all are the first ones to go into depression when adversity hits. I

strongly recommend starting with the ‘why’. Why are you working

in a company where you’re working? Why do you want to be an

entrepreneur? Why do you want to increase your sales? Why do

you want to join a certain company? Why do you want to get the

immigration of a certain country?

Do you have sound and unchallengeable purposes behind your

visions? Think about it.

4. SHARE YOUR VISIONS WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS

Once you have finished articulating your visions and purposes, the

next most important step is to share them with the respective

Suppose ‘I envision my son to be healthy, happy, intellectually well developed, emotionally balanced, spiritually connected to the Creator, a contributor to the well being of humanity, and a role model for his fellow human beings’. This could be a vision statement of a father for his son. The purpose of the vision will elaborate why you want all of this for your son. Why do you want him to be a great contributor to humanity? Why do you want him to be spiritually connected to the Creator?

stakeholders. For instance, if you are developing a vision for your son, you must share

it with your spouse who has a critical share in this development. You also need to

share the vision with your son as he grows up. Sharing doesn’t only mean sharing it

verbally but also through your character and actions. Your character and your actions

need to be aligned with what you’re sharing verbally with others.

If you’re a business leader and have created a powerful vision for your organization,

develop a road map for sharing it with senior, middle, and junior management. If you

wish to unleash the true potential of your team members, you need to be aware of

their personal visions and connect them to the organizational ones. Organizations that

successfully develop this connection are the ones where people come to work with a

zeal and enthusiasm to pursue and contribute to a greater purpose. Visions should be

the driving force behind your work force rather than a paycheck.

5. DEVELOP A ROADMAP FOR VISIONS

When you’re done with establishing your visions and their purpose and have started

sharing them, you need to start working on Intermediate Visions or IVs. Intermediate

For Information & Feedback

visions are derived from the ultimate vision but are shorter visions targeted towards a

certain time period. This is opposed to the ultimate vision that is independent of any time

constraint and is timeless and valid upon any period of

time. Ultimate vision transcends your life in such a manner that it remains behind as your

legacy even if you are no longer alive. This is why your vision needs to be valuable with an

enduring purpose.

Remember, some people continue to live on even after they are dead whilst others are good

as dead, with fruitless and unproductive existences, even though they are alive. Creating

visions is an opportunity to leave a legacy behind you. Intermediate visions allow you to

have measurable targets for the next few years of your life starting with the current year

and are connected to the greater ultimate vision. Since this allows the day-to-day decision

making to be aligned with the greater vision, the chances of random, on the spur of the

moment decision making are gone.

If you seriously want to make your life meaningful and rewarding both in this world and

beyond, then follow the tested principles described above. Envisioning and creating visions

is a painstaking task but a sure shot first step towards a fruitful, purposeful, and gratifying

life. A life most people wish they had but don’t know how to take the first step towards.

Remember, if you develop the powerful mechanism to focus and concentrate in life through

your visions, even the loudest noises of the world won’t distract you. In the words of

Napoleon Hill, ‘The world steps aside for a man who knows where he is going’.

The world is a critical race of not how much money you can make but a race of

living this life for a greater purpose. Since no one is aware of when their finish

line will suddenly arrive, we need to act quickly to be prepared to meet it.
