VISION/PURPOSE

WHAT IS A VISION?
by James Ray

A vision is your mental picture of the life you want to lead. Clarity is power. To achieve the highest levels of success, create the highest vision you can dream and deposit it in the treasury of your subconscious mind.

A vision is not a goal. A vision is much broader and more compelling than a goal. It is a complete, overall picture of your life that includes bothpersonal and professional endeavors.
Only you can create your vision. Others in your life--your spouse, your parents, your siblings, your employer and colleagues--may offer suggestions, but you must make the final choices.

Where there is no Vision,
The people perish
Proverbs 29: 18

Make Be An 11 Your Vision

The man without a mission is like a ship without a rudder-a waif, a nothing, a no man.

Thomas Carlyle

The man on a mission is like a Warrior; a heat seeking missile honing in on a target; a Crusader engaged in a Quest.

Without a purpose, life is motion; without meaning, activity without direction and events without reason. Without a purpose, life is trivial, petty and pointless.

Rick Warren

When Actively engaged in a Quest, Life is directed; behavior has significance.

Events make sense; Life is meaningful,important and of consequence.

The choice is up to you!

Live your life with purpose, On purpose.
Be An 11!

Adopting the Be An 11 philosophy makes your life more meaningful. Nothing can stand in the way of a man, a team, on a mission. No obstacle is too huge; every mountain is scalable; every canyon can be bridged.

Jim Rohn tells the story of the 49ers on their way to the California gold fields. Over 85% of the people walked to the fields. They were the people back east who were down on their luck. Their crops had failed; they were out of a job, money but not hope. They gathered in Missouri over the winter and off they would go in the early spring planning to arrive before the September snows could trap them in the mountains like the Donner Party. Fifteen or so miles a day; day after day, hundred and hundreds of miles. What kept them going? That was their motivation? The vision of a better life on the other side of the mountain; economic opportunity and a chance to start over, a better life. "In their minds," Rohn says, "they were already their, mining for gold in California. their bodies had just not caught up with them yet."

How about you? Does your vision put you on the victor's stand? Is your mission strong enough to sweep your body along, to catch up with your pictured perfect end result?

Adopting the Be An 11 Philosophy cleans the air. Being An 11 athlete, team, school, yes even a community and nation cleans the air, simplifies everyday activities, and places you on a collision course with success, the only variable is time. You see, there is no middle ground. You're either in, or you're out. You're engaged behavior is either taking you toward the realization of the dream or the creation of a living nightmare.

Adopting the Be An 11 philosophy and establishing noble goals provides guidance and direction. Your mind is made up ahead of time. Your success is preordained by your resolve. Everything you do during your day is propelling you forward actively engaged in making your dreams come true.

Your life now has vision. You're focused on the vision. A man on a mission becomes effective by being selective. Energy becomes concentrated on What's Important Now. Distractions disappear. Motivationalist Zig Ziglar states, "You are no longer a wandering generality, but a meaningful specific." Maintaining focus, elevating your consciousness magnifies energy. You demonstrate levels of motivation previously unseen. Stress, fatigue and conflict disappear. Rick Warren is right when he says, "Purpose always produces passion. Nothing energizes like a clear purpose." Life has meaning. You arrive early, leave late, always doing as much as you possibly can because you are on a Quest, crusading for your own success, making your dreams come true. When actively engaged in that activity, there is a wellspring of energy established deep inside you; a energized breeder reactor that is activated propelling you forward. Yes, you are on a collision course with success when you strive to Be An 11, the only variable is time. You know that no matter how long it takes, no matter how hard it is, no matter how much it costs, no mater what you personally have to sacrifice, you'll do whatever it takes to Be An 11!
