We
Lose Vision
Helen Keller is quoted as
saying, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight, but no
vision.” Only months before her second birthday Helen became blind and
deaf as the result of sickness. However, she defied the odds and became a
popular author and lecturer. Although she lacked sight and hearing, she
had a clear vision for her life.
It is easy to lose our vision for the future when we plod through life trying
to make a buck and meet the needs of those around us. Life can become
drudgery, predictable and inward focused. Unlike Helen Keller, we might
decide to play it safe and live an apathetic life. While it may not be
possible for some to regain sight, with effort, everyone can regain vision and
hope for the future.
If you lose your vision for your life or your organization find it again by
asking yourself questions like these:
What is the greatest benefit that I can offer others?
If money were no object what would I like most to do in life?
Is there something that must be done that I don't see anyone doing?
"True
morality consists not in following the beaten track but in finding out the true
path for ourselves and fearlessly following it." Mahatma Gandhi
