Vision

Hindsight may be 20/20 but a vision for the future is even better. Having a vision of what you want to accomplish - finances, career, relationships - even what kind of car you want to drive or the view from your living room window - having a vision gives it form and substance. It's amazing how focused you become when you have envisioned an end result. Actions and words become centered around the goal. You start noticing and recognizing opportunities when you focus on what you want and let go of what you don't want.

Have you ever groused about the job you didn't get or the promotion - YOUR promotion - that went to someone else? Meanwhile you missed other opportunities because all your attention was on what you didn't have instead of what you really want. The old country song said "I overlooked and orchid while looking for a rose." Let yourself be open to results even better than you would like and stop worrying about the woulda, coulda, shoulda's.
