TEN (10) AREAS YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO WRITE A VISION

-

It's Fabulous Friday, a wonderful day to explore areas where you should be able to write a vision for your life. Before diving into that, I want to share a humorous conversation I had with my 2-year-old, which, upon reflection, holds a deeper meaning.

I asked my 2-year-old to do something and he responded with, ''Why?''. I repeated the instruction, and he continued with, ''WHY? WHY? WHY?'' At this point, he thought we were playing a game of ''Why.'' The interesting part is that once the ''why'' is understood, figuring out the ''HOW'' is much easier. Knowing your "WHY" allows strategy and execution to fall into place more smoothly.

Here are ten (10) areas you should be able to write a vision for your life.

1. What do I want to do with the rest of my life? (develop a vision statement).

2. Vision for spiritual growth and development. (a feeding system for nurturing your spirit man).

3. Vision for companionship. (what kind of person do you want to spend the rest of your life with?).

4. Vision for family. (tradition, spirituality, values, legacy).

5. Vision for personal growth and development. (this, informs the kind of books you read, seminars you attend, etc).

6. Vision for your career and calling. (what would you do for free?).

7. Vision for your friends and colleagues. (the kind of network, and relationships you need to cultivate).

8. Vision for recreation and renewal. (how do you relax, unwind, and prevent burnout?).

9. Vision for financial stability. (what are you prepared to exchange for money?)

10. Vision for your health and fitness.

Remember that nothing just happens. Create, and set up systems in place that would help you achieve your goals.

Proverbs 29:18a says, where there is no vision, the people perish, stumble all over themselves, cast off restraint, run wild, quickly wander astray. (see various translations).

Great possibilities await you.

THE SOURCE OF JOY

Joy is a presence that remains steady even when nothing around you feels steady. Happiness depends on what happens; joy depends on Who you’re anchored in. When David wrote, “In Your presence is fullness of joy” (Psalm 16:11), he wasn’t describing a passing feeling. He was pointing us to a Person.  Joy Comes From Alignment, Not Achievement Sometimes we believe joy is a reward for reaching a certain level of success or spiritual maturity. But joy isn’t found at the finish line. It’s found in alignment- when your heart, your steps, and your purpose lean into God’s will. You can have a long to-do list and still experience joy. You can be in a season of pruning and still walk in joy. You can be waiting, trusting, hoping, and still carry joy. Why? Because joy is produced when your soul knows you are held. Joy Thrives Where Gratitude Lives Joy and gratitude are siblings. They flourish together. Gratitude keeps your eyes on what God is doing, not what seems delayed. It re-teaches...

WHAT'S TRENDING?

We are witnessing a season where old posts are resurfacing, and careers are shaking. Appointments are being reconsidered. Partnerships are being withdrawn. Public trust is being questioned. What changed? Time. Maturity changed. Context changed. Standards changed. But the digital footprint remained. The words you released into cyberspace were seeds. And seeds, whether good or bad, eventually grow. Some grow into influence. Others grow into consequences. A common defense is: “That post does not reflect who I truly am.” Fair enough. People grow. People evolve. We all have chapters we would rather not re-read. But if someone consistently posts degrading humor, insensitive commentary, reckless opinions, or harmful narratives over time, can it truly be dismissed as acting? At what point does repeated behavior become identity? Character is not what you claim in interviews. Character is the pattern of what you repeatedly practice. You cannot consistently publish darkness and expect peop...

WAITING WARS

After watching the movie "Waiting Wars" by Gloria Bamiloye, you find tthat there is the faith that makes noise and there is the faith that remains when the noise fades. The kind that survives unanswered questions. The kind that keeps showing up long after the excitement has worn off. The kind that does not collapse when feelings fluctuate. Because if we are honest, starting is not the hardest part of the journey. Sustaining is. Anyone can believe boldly when doors are opening. Anyone can testify when prayers are answered quickly. But what about when obedience stretches longer than expected? When clarity doesn’t come on schedule? When growth feels invisible? That is where lasting faith is formed.  Hebrews 11 speaks of those who endured, who ran their race with perseverance, who were described as steadfast, immovable, always abounding. That kind of faith is not manufactured in a moment. It is cultivated in ordinary days, in repetition, in surrender. Lasting faith is not built o...
