Every entrepreneur is a visionary, but every vision is like playing with fire. Vision is a picture of a preferred future. It is asking yourself the question, where will my life be in 3, 5, 10 or 25 years?
What is God's vision for your life, business, marriage, kids, education, career, health, finances, relationships, and faith?
I have hopes and dreams but still live without a clear picture of where may be going on. Developing a clear vision is critical to leading life in a way that honors God and creates impact. It will help you clarify what is most important, avoid distractions, and provide a north star that can guide you forward.
But why is vision like playing with fire? While there is no shortage of business and self-help gurus eschewing the power of vision, they fail to address where vision comes from and where it can lead. If vision is defined by a preferred future, who defines what is preferred?
Out of all creatures great and small, only humans have the unique ability to imagine, reason, reflect and create. Vision is a God-given human attribute that is ours to steward. But vision is a complex mix of our hopes, dreams, desires, ambitions, emotions, fears, fantasies, and expectations.

Sometimes I dream about a future event, and then it happens to me in real life. Why so?
