Lesson #5: Create a Vision and Stick To It
Lesson #5: Create a Vision and Stick To It
In order to ever achieve that masterpiece, Robbins believes that you must have faith that it could actually happen and imagine your life as it would be. “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible,” says Robbins. But, beyond that, success requires a vision; goals are only the stepping-stones on the way to that vision.
“Create a vision and never let the environment, other people's beliefs, or the limits of what has been done in the past shape your decisions,” says Robbins. “Ignore conventional wisdom.” Even in the face of doubt or controversy, have faith in that vision. Cling to it in the knowledge that you have the right to achieve nothing less than what you want for your life.
“You're in the midst of a war: a battle between the limits of a crowd seeking the surrender of your dreams, and the power of your true vision to create and contribute,” says Robbins. “It is a fight between those who will tell you what you cannot do, and that part of you that knows – and has always known – that we are more than our environment; and that a dream, backed by an unrelenting will to attain it, is truly a reality with an imminent arrival.”
Before success must come a visualization of it, believes Robbins. He points to Albert Einstein, who “changed history not because he was smarter, but because he had a vision and followed trough with it. He knew what he wanted and that vision never waned. That power is in all of us, and when harnessed, can lead you on a path toward ultimate achievement.” Whether it’s Einstein or another great achiever, Robbins believes lessons can be drawn from their experiences. “If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you'll achieve the same results,” he says.
Having a vision does not mean, however, that you have to be positive to the point of naiveity about whatever situation you may be facing. “Most who say they're skeptical or pessimistic are really gutless because they don't want to get their hopes up – they don't want to be disappointed. They don't want to look naïve or fail,” says Robbins. “I believe, ‘See it as it is.’ No worse than it is, but just as it is, so you have a reason to try or make it better. Just see it as it really is…You've got to see it better than it is because without a vision, people perish. Once you have that vision, you've got to make the vision a reality by action on a consistent basis.”

“There is a powerful, driving force inside every human being that, once unleashed, can make any vision, dream or desire a reality,” says Robbins. “I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk.”

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
