Waking up in the morning, you hope the traffic situation won’t be so bad today, when your children set off to school you hope they come back safe and sound, you hope the rain won’t spoil your reception in the middle of your favourite serial, you hope your third child after two boys is a girl, you hope you will shed some weight, you hope you’ll prosper, etc….etc…

I wonder what the result might be if a research was done to know how much the word ‘hope‘ is used in our daily life? We use the word in so many different ways that it ’s quite fascinating really!

Check these out :

• Hope to see you again
• Hope you recover fast
• Hope you have a good day
• Hope it doesn’t rain
• Hope the doctor’s in
• Hope mom/dad/sis/brother is okay
• Hope the movie is good
• Hope the cash is enough
• Hope the shop is open
• Hope this…..and hope that…..

Much of this issue is not so much about the casual, social hopes. Instead the focus is on the many little and large hopes people have for themselves and their suroundings.

There are people with lofty hopes of improving the world’s environment or the social economic condition of many poor countries and there are the vast majority who will be happy with achieving simple hopes like a pay rise or good grades.

It’s not about whether your hopes materialize or not, instead hopes are what we pin our daily activities on -  it’s all around us, in our minds, in our thoughts and in our actions.

You may not even say the word but it’s there in you.

Start visualizing and make your hopes come true….

I read enthusiastically this article titled Enable Your Success: Create A Powerful Vision, by Chuck Kocher yesterday evening while waiting for my kids to finish their homework. Being in a mood to read all these motivating, inspiring articles makes me wonder if I am living life to the fullest, seriously, and till the end of this article I have the answer.

This article is very conversational type and it looks at you like it is trying to tell you to start taking action, immediately! I have picked some lines from the article, here and there, to make it short, enjoy reading it, it might help you too.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Where am I really going with my life, my career or my business?” Do you ever feel that your passion, energy and attitude are just not what they used to be? Do you sense a need for change but you are not really sure what to do? Do you finally want to take control of your destiny and your life?

At one point of our lives, most of us have asked these questions or ourselves. But the biggest question of all is what did you do about it - or what are you going to do about it? Sadly enough, most people dream but never really do anything more than that.

You see, you - and only you - control the keys to your destiny. Creating a powerful vision is the start of it all and will set your life in forward motion toward success. It will unlock your energy, attitude and passion.

In life, we will have many choices to make. We can choose to be reactive or be proactive. Do you want to set the course for your life, or do you want to simply follow a pre-destined map?

You and you alone control how you think. Our mind is the most powerful asset we have.

CAUTION! Seven Vision Killers.

Creating a powerful vision is one thing - actualizing it is another. There are many obstacles that you will face in actualizing your vision. However, the biggest obstacle that you may actually face might just be you.

The following are the personal vision killers that we see time and time again:

1. Procastination/Indecision - I will eventually make my decision…
2. Lack of total Commitment/Focus - The grass is always greener…
3. Self-belief/Confidence - I just can’t do it!
4. Fear of failure and/or success - This is really just an excuse not to be successful!
5. Knowing it already - If you stop learning, you stop growing and stop living!
6. Trying to do it all yourself - Why would anyone in their right mind try to do it all themselves?
7. Dream, dream, dream - Always living in the future and never making it happen in the present!

YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE…..

If you really want to change, you can. But first, you must have the desire to and then commit to do so. So I challenge you to take control of your destiny, create a powerful vision and start on the journey to success in your career, your business and your life!
