One of the traits of all successful people is to have their own idea of how the future should turn out. An idea about their career or family, company or product, vacation or wedding. This is called in and division. It doesn't matter how big the goal you set for yourself is. What matters is how much detail you present the result and the way to achieve it. Of course, your vision may change on the way to the goal, but it's worth taking the first steps when you know where you're going.

Let's figure out how to form a vision so that it doesn't come out like this rat from the comic book.

How to form your vision

Highlight the spheres. It's good when you have an idea of your life in general. But on the way from the general to the particular, it is very difficult to achieve complete detail. Therefore, it is worth dividing the overall picture of the vision into blocks, and these, in turn, into bricks of desires and hopes. For example, imagine first your ideal job, then what your house and life in it looks like, what your family is, finish with your achievements. The order does not matter, it is important to highlight the components of your vision, to detail it.

Coordinate. Your idea of the future may contradict the idea of the people around you. In order to prevent this from happening, a corporate vision is created in companies, a mission is prescribed. It is important that different people are united by one idea of the goal and the way to achieve it. But it is even more important that your vision is not internally contradictory. Therefore, regularly carry out both "synchronization" of ideas with other people, and revision of your vision, coordinate its parts with each other.

Be aware of your fears and desires. The driving force of creativity is our desires. When they are realized, simple and understandable, then we do not need external stimulation. To make it easier to make a list of actions to implement your vision, it is worth understanding what this fragment is: your desire (a micro-goal, this is the best option), the need for making a vision come true or protection from your fear of failure.

Form a vision systematically. In any case, you need regularity. Of course, vision refers more to creativity than to logic. But in forming a picture of the future, one or another method can be used. Here are the methods I use:

A story about the future as the past. For example, if we are talking about the vision of the product, then you can tell on behalf of the consumer how he uses it, how he bought it and what he likes about the product.
A list of control questions, positive answers to which will show that the vision has become a reality. For example, when buying an apartment, it can be both keys, documents in your hands, and the first general cleaning.
Collage of wish photos. Such a kind of wish-list helps both to group your desires by spheres, and to develop a sequence of their implementation.
Chronology of your future achievements. A simple list with approximate dates will not be as vivid as a collage or a story, but the framework it sets can help you act more than dream.
A list of mistakes that you don't want to make. No matter how psychologists glorify otpimism, we are all pessimists to one degree or another. Instead of trying to change this in yourself, it's worth making a list of "places where you don't want to find yourself." Such peculiar anti-beacons.

Be able to reject the vision. The main reason for the lack of vision is the fear of disappointment. Where is he coming from? From our past. It is very painful to admit that our vision will never become reality. But you need to be able to erase dreams from the board, pick up fresh paints and paint your future anew. Do not redraw, do not erase individual strokes, namely erase everything and draw again. God grant you that you don't have to do this.

Good luck, and let the vision be your beacon.
