Turning Vision Into Mission

Vision >>> Mission

Vision defined:  the ability to perceive future development; the act of anticipating what may be to come

Mission defined: a calling of occupation; operational tasks; summary of aims, values, an overall plan

Not sure why this has been on my mind. The values of personal vision and mission.

I don't make resolutions, but I do like to think about Visions for one's life and transforming them into Life Mission.

I have always had tons of ideas about things and life in general.  I live in the world of  "possibilities." But, I have learned long ago that I should never follow my "great, ingenious" ideas immediately. Many of these possibilities are not practical. For many people, having a vision for one's life is not difficult.  Transforming vision into a plan of actions, a mission of sort is where the real work is.

Someone had once said that there are 6 qualities to a transformational vision:
1. Imaginable - You must be able to picture it
2. Desirable - You must really want it
3. Feasible - You must be able to do it
4. Focused - You must be able to break it down to steps
5. Flexible - You must be willing to change it
6. Communicable - You must be able to talk about it

That's what a Life Mission is: a Personal Mission Statement
What our Life Goals?
What do we Stand For?
What are our Values?
What are we Willing To Do?
What will We Communicate?
What Legacy Will We Leave?
