My vision

What is my vision self-reflection exercise

Think about examples in your social life, career, finances and even in your closest relationships.

• How would you define personal success? What value do you contribute to the world and all of the other people who are in it?
  • It is this statement that gives you a perspective on life.
  • When tough times come your way (which they will), you will remain focused on the prize, consistent in your ways, and unaffected by the negativity of society, your peers or even your family members.
• What are your most prominent characteristics?
  • This personal vision statement will become relevant to every area of your life including your relationships, your career, your finances, your spare time and even your routine responsibilities.
• What are your finest personal qualities?
  • This statement becomes a vision for your future that will define and shape every decision and choice you make until you eventually fulfil it.
  • To understand what your greatest life vision might look like, consider the statements that you will find on the gravestones of those who have passed away.
• How would you NOT like to be remembered? How would you like to be remembered?
  • Gravestones will contain an accurate overview of how people conduct themselves around other people throughout life – who they were and how they are remembered by those they have left behind.
  • Your greatest life vision will be the words that have been inscribed on your tombstone.

The words on your tombstone will act as a reflection of the life that you have lived as remembered by others around you and the people you have impacted. An obituary is the unabridged version of the impact you have.
