Elements of a Vision
Today you are going to start crafting your vision for the future.
A vision comes with positive energy, which stimulates and fuels
hopefulness.
A vision defines the possibilities. It must flow from current reality and
then connect with the present and the future.
A vision is created with others. It should be communicated to enlist
the additional energy and shared committed necessary to ensure
sustained action.
A vision is a process: its outcomes require time and nurturing.
