The tragedy of Sight without Vision


                              By Bayo Ogunmupe
     Helen Keller (1880-1968) was a blind and deaf American author and educator who rose to world fame as a defender of the disabled. I love this popular quote from her: "The only thing worse than being blind, is having sight but no vision." Having a vision in life is so important and writing it down is just as crucial. Which is why you should write out your vision and make it clear so you can see it. This is why a Personal Vision Slate is a great tool for your greatness in life. The Personal Vision Slate is a cardboard where you write down your dreams and visions  and watch them become reality.
     You might have heard what the great motivator, Zig Ziglar said: "If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time." Then think about this in relation to what you want in life, your financial freedom, your health and romance. Ask yourself what you are aiming at in life. Most people never get what they want out their lives because  they don't really know what they want from life. They just wander aimlessly through life until they settle on something that seems nice to them. But when they get bored, they start wandering again. One thing is certain, though; they never get what they want and if they ever do, they usually don't keep it for long.
     If you want to avoid being one of these wanderlusts; here is where you need to start from. This is why you need a cardboard depicting your vision: your Personal Vision Slate. The most significant motivation behind your consistent actions is your subconscious mind. This is because your subconscious controls your emotional drives. You should know that your behaviour is influenced by the thoughts which carry the strongest emotional charge. Thus, this is why it is important for you to harness the power of your subconscious to fuel your passion and pursue what you really want. A Personal Vision Slate is a most powerful tool for doing this. It provides you with the  powerful visual stimuli that plant seeds in your subconscious that are consistent with what you want.
     It is very easy to create your Personal Vision Slate (PVS). All you need is a cardboard a few pictures of things you want in your life: the type of house you want; the kind of personality you want to built and the kind of partner you want to attract to yourself. By creating this dream board and hanging it where you can see it everyday, you awaken and replicate these desires in your subconscious. These desires will propel the actions that will help you gain what you want. In case you are skeptical about this, just think of how much money companies spend on advertising which use colours, shapes, words and images to provoke the responses needed from the people.
     Considering the astronomical amount of consumer debt in most nations, you can see just how influential advertising it. But what if you could create your own advertisement which you could use to sell yourself your own dreams. This is exactly what you are doing when you create your own dream slate. This policy works. That is why every where you go you are bombarded with advertisements created by people trying to get you spend your time and money to enable them build their dreams. You cannot escape these messages, your only line of defence is to create your own advertising campaign. To join the league of winners, you must make the voice and vision of your dreams the loudest and clearest in your life.
      It comes down to making a choice: You either make a proactive effort to build up your own dreams or you become slaves of the dreams of others. Life is too short to build the dreams of others. Therefore the first thing that you need to do is to wait no longer but start creating your dream slate today and hang it by the door of your wardrobe where you will see it daily while dressing for work.
