“Vision Reset”.

We all desire recognition, honor, respect. These Are the metrics by which we judge our success in the world, even our value. This should not be so; for all these things are fleeting. They wax and wane as we go through life. So what then? where do we find lasting value? what can we identify with that will bring lasting meaning to our lives? something that will not merely fall out of vogue as fashions change.

The pat answer is “Our identity in Christ” yet knowing this and the truth behind it; many of us (myself included) need something more tangible something to hold, grasp. In my view this can only come when we realize our true life purpose; the thing we are morally compelled to do. When we find this it brings meaning to our lives. The very fact that we are living breathing and functioning within the context of what we are made to do becomes the metric by which we determine our value and level of success.

If we fail to find our purpose we will latch onto many things that will fail to yield the very meaning we so desire. This is where the development of our foundational life vision becomes critical. If we fail to lay a proper foundation in this we either sell our destiny short by securing small (easily achievable) goals that don’t fulfill, or we become lost, listless, undefined in our life walk. Constantly searching but never achieving, never finding the fulfillment we so desperately seek.

Despite understanding this it seems I’ve gotten off track again. What I originally saw as my life vision has proven incomplete; in that the vision I had set for myself has failed in taking me where I want to go. This is not a failure of the concept of vision but a failure in my ability to implement said concept. In scope my vision was shortsighted, even incomplete in several key areas. This left voids and gaps that demanded to be filled.

And so it’s time to hit the reset button, to start over, to reconfigure the vision and make the necessary changes so In that moving forward the critical areas of life will have the direction necessary to take me to my desired destiny.
