Vision, Martin Luther King, Jr. Had It, Do You?

"I have a dream..."

Vision is everything.  Why?  Because vision leads the leader.  It sparks and fuels the fire within.  It can also be the fire lighter for others who follow that leader.  Show me a leader without vision, and I'll show you someone who isn't going anywhere.  


You can not buy, beg, or borrow vision.  It has to come from the inside.  For Martin Luther King, vision was never a problem, he always saw what could be.  


If you lack vision, look inside yourself.  Look for your natural gifts and desires.  


Vision ins't some mystical quality that comes out of a vacuum, it grow's from a leader's past.  That was the case for King, and it is true for all leaders.  


True vision is far-reaching.  It goes beyond what one individual can accomplish.  Like King, his vision had real value and added value to others.  If you have a vision that doesn't serve others, it's probably too small.  


If you haven't done a lot of work on vision, spend the next several weeks or months thinking about it.  


What makes you cry?


What makes you dream?


What gives you energy?
