It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
- C. S. Lewis
A goal or objective that inspires or motivates a person, defined or undefinable, given by The Almighty.
I’ve been thinking more and more about vision lately. Its hard to imagine life without a vision. To quote Helen Keller:
“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”
Helen Keller
Being lost is the closest I can think of, when looking for an analogy to lacking a vision. Wondering aimlessly with no bigger picture would be pretty depressing. Although its hard when you start to wonder if your vision will ever work out. And trying to deal with being unable to share your vision is tough. How do you impart or share a vision with others? Do people want a vision, or are they content going day-to-day?
Motivation, vision, enthusiasm – what does it mean to people? Corporations are always coming up with their corporate vision and values. Politicians try to sell you on their vision for the country. Has our society become jaded to the idea of a vision?
I think this will require more thought.
