Wikipedia describes vision as a long term goal.  Webster’s defines vision as the act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be: prophetic vision; the vision of an entrepreneur.  OK, that’s a little closer.  But, vision is so much more than that.

Vision is the ability to see the goal, see the clear path to it and the necessary tools to get there.

Vision is a "gift" developed by leaders by failing their way to success.  The ability to see-the-big-picture or look at problems or issues as they affect the entire organization is special, but it is a developed skill.  True, some people are better at it than others, but the critical fact is that you can learn vision.

Many people say that it is something that it is something that is inborn or "given".  They are wrong.  Vision is the clear and defineable process of successes and failures that allow one to become refined in "seeing" what is able to be accomplished and the resources necessary along the way.

Vision is a learned talent. 

Many people learn it from corporate America.  A few learn by taking their lumps along the way in building their own business.  Even fewer learn by apprenticing under a great leader with vision.

I challenge you to refine your "VISION" according to your dreams and go out there and SEE just what you can accomplish.
