Make your vision plain

Having a vision and tucking it away from your subconscious is like having none. Having a vision is not good enough, you have to move constantly toward it before you can stand a fighting chance of accomplishing it

To move towards it constantly, you have to see it constantly. Out of sight, is most often out of mind. It is as simple as that.

When you write your vision, and make it plain, keep it where you get to see it often, talk about it, think or meditate on it, before long, you internalize it. Publish it. When it seeps into your subconscious, your mind will be “chewing” on it on autopilot. Before long, you begin to receive ideas on the way forward. Your mind and energy will be focused on that goal, and soon, your energy and resources will follow suit.

Mind Versus Paper

If you don’t write down your dream/goal on paper, keep it in your mind. Before long, you will forget what it was. The picture will get distorted. Your brain was not made to store information. It was made primarily for processing information. For sure, some folks have very good retentive memories, but they cannot beat a journal or diary in memory recall.

When you store information in your brain without a paper backup, two things happen:

a) You run the risk of losing some of your information
b) You tie down your brain. Remembering is hard work

When you put things on paper, you free up my brain to do what it was paid to do. Think. So much of your brainpower had been tied up in the business of remembering. Where you kept what, where and when I spent what, what is it you planned wanted to do, etc. It was an abuse of brainpower.

Make your vision plain

When you write things down, you are in effect downloading from your brain unto paper. You free up your brain for processing information and feeding your imagination. You become more focused. Leave information storage for the paper to do. It does it much better. It is so easy to forget what you decided last week. The paper does not forget. Even after a thousand years.

When you write your vision and make it plain, you gain focus and free your brain to think out how to go about fulfilling your dream.

The journey was not a physical one, but mental. The war is won and lost in the mind. You require a new mindset. Constantly thinking outside the box, until that becomes your new way of thinking. You have to create a new reality within you. If you cannot see it, you cannot get there.

Your brain is your most valuable asset in this journey. You get it into gear by giving it focus. By writing your vision and making it plain, you gain focus.

Let it be the first thing you see in the morning, and the last thing at night, until it becomes internalized. Post it in your study, bedroom, above your PC, or on the refrigerator door! let it be in your face!
