Coach Petes Tip: Creating a Powerful Personal Vision
Coach Petes Tip: Creating a Powerful Personal Vision
Kennedy's call for action empowered thousands of scientists, engineers and other experts. Working non stop they developed technologies, rocket engines, life support systems and hundreds of devices that were only dreamed of a few short years before. None of this would have happened without Kennedy's vision or dream of landing a man on the moon. Even though he was assassinated in 1963 his vision created the energy and momentum that excited people and propelled his vision towards the successful moon landing.
President Kennedy wasn't a rocket scientist or an astronaut. He did not know how a man could fly through space, land on the moon and return safely. He had faith in American know how and strongly believed that Americans inspired by great dreams/visions are capable of accomplishing the seemly impossible.
Another great leader whose vision or dream inspired millions was Dr. Martin Luther King. His great speech "I Have a Dream", delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, mobilized a whole generation of blacks and whites. King's powerful words gave voice to the aspirations of blacks and made them believe that equal rights were their birthright. Doctor King in his speech dreamed of a time in the future when children of black slaves and white sharecropper children could live in peace. The results of his speech awaken a nation to the plight of blacks.
Kennedy and King were able to create powerful visions and communicate these visions to millions of people. These visions transformed a nation and greatly affected the whole world. What you are going to do is create a personal vision. This vision will be to you just as powerful as John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King’s vision. Your vision will paint a picture of the person you are becoming. As Kennedy's challenged NASA to land a man on the moon before 1970, your vision will challenge you to achieve the seemingly impossible. As the Reverend King's dream of a better life for blacks inspired and uplifted us all, so your vision will inspire and uplift you.
If you don't have one now is the time to create one. Take time to think of the person you want to become. Write down the attributes that are most important to you. A powerful personal vision will motivate you and compel you forward.
Think of this as the beginning of a grand adventure, a reality show in which you are the star, the director and the writer. All this may seem pretty daunting right now, but keep in mind that the longest journey starts with a single step. A month or a year or even five years from now you will look back on this day and say that this was a turning point in my life. That this was the day I decided to take action, gain control of my life and begin the journey towards the person I always dreamed I could be. Right now you are at an important crossroad. God willing, you have many years of life in front of you. You can decide to continue on the path you are on or turn off onto a higher road.
As you get older you realize how quickly time goes by. When you were a kid waiting a year, a week or even a day for your birthday seemed like an eternity. Later the days, weeks, months and years go by in the blink of an eye. Next year is just around the corner. Don't look back a year from now with regrets over things not done. Begin the adventure now, cameras, lights, action!

Visions are powerful things. Throughout history visions have called people to action. Great leaders have used visions to inspire and motivate us. President John F. Kennedy had a vision of man landing on the moon by the end of the 1960's and sure enough in the summer of 1969 the whole world watched in amazement as Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.
