Top Ten Reasons to Write Down Your Life Vision Today

You've probably heard over and over why defining your vision is a good thing to do. Well, its not just a good thing to do, it's a crucial thing to do, and here's why...

1. It's the only way to know when you get there.

2. Once you write it, you've taken your vision from zero dimensions to two dimensions instantly... and two is much closer to three than zero.

3. No one else will do it while you are alive enough to enjoy it.
Okay, you could be one of those rare individuals that people write on and on about, in one unflattering, inaccurate unauthorized biography after another...

4. Have you got something better to do?

5. If you do have something better to do, write it down: that's your vision!

6. If you don't define your vision, someone else will try to make you a bit player in theirs....and you won't get an Emmy for it either. Hey, what are you doing watching so much TV?!

7. If life is a journey, wouldn't you at least like to have your eyes looking forward (instead of looking up yours behind)?

8. You can't get There from Here without knowing where is There

9. You can't "get" Here without knowing Here is There too.

10. If you don't see a vision, then for goodness sake, record your Life's Sound, or Dance down your Life's Dance. Anything that wakes you up from the "I don't know" trance!

Here it is: Write the blog post / article you were born to write. Write something that you can pour your heart and all your passion into. Write something where you can change the life of the person reading it. Write something where if you look back in 10 years you'll be really proud of what you created. Can you do that? I'd love to read it (and I bet a lot of others will too!)

Re: Charge what you're worth - [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd] Hi Tami, You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35). I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
