Crafting Personal Vision

If you aren’t growing, then you are dying. Personal goals is what you envision your life can be. A better husband, father, leader, etc. The person you want to become doesn’t happen overnight. Rather, it is daily decisions and actionable goals that improve over time. Readers are leaders, set a goal to read more this year.

Financial Vision

If your finances are a mess, then you are likely stressed out. One of the greatest hinderances to successful ministries, is financial issues. Some are not able to seize particular opportunities because they are bound to financial hinderances.

Set some personal financial goals. Whether its saving, paying off debt, or setting a giving goal.

Physical Vision

One of the best things you can do for yourself is take care of your body. God has given us one body, and that body will help us reach our goals. Whether its losing weight, getting up early in the morning and exercising, or changing the way that you eat, set a goal to help you grow!

Spiritual Vision

Within the context of Christianity, you become the person that Jesus Christ has called you to be. Prayer, Bible study, fasting, giving, faithfulness, witnessing are spiritual disciplines that will increase your capacity for growth. Spiritual goals will improve your soul, outlook, world-view, and alter your purpose. Keeping Christ at the center of your life will improve every other area you are looking to improve.

Professional Goals/Ministry Vision

What are your professional goals? Do you want to move up within your organization? Do you want to become your own boss, or own your own business? If you are a minster, what are your ministry goals?

Vision for Your Church or Organization

Vision begins with you as a leader. As you begin to grow and reach your personal vision, you then begin to craft a vision for your organization.

Michael Hyatt talks about the benefits of having a vision for your team:

1. A sense of purpose. Too often teams spend an inordinate amount of time spinning their wheels and just doing whatever tasks have come up most recently. Having a well-thought-out vision allows your company to zero in on the goals, projects, and tasks that have the highest impact on the metrics you want to prioritize.

2. A positive risk. Inciting risk might not feel like a benefit, but the best future doesn’t actually lie within your comfort zone. Just because an idea makes you uncomfortable doesn’t make it a bad idea. In fact, it might be the exact idea you need.

3. A clearer future. A vision is not an action plan and you won’t be figuring out the “how”—at least not yet. But it does free you to dream and imagine what could be possible, as well as what the end result will be.
