For every dream, there needs to be a vision. If dreams are a compass pointing you toward a destination, vision is a map to guide you in the right direction. It helps organize your thoughts, outlines your ambition, and projects an image of what you see in the future. Creating a vision is what brings your dream into reality. It takes what’s been in your imagination and turns it into something tangible.

Writing out your dream is the first step in putting together your vision. You’ll want to describe all you see and do your best to fill up an entire page. From there, you’ll want to write a dream summary, which will eventually become your written vision. This will be a short blurb describing your dream in one to two paragraphs. Once you’ve gone through these two steps, you’ll be all set for the next ones..which we’ll talk through next week.

The purpose of your vision is to be able to communicate your dream with as much clarity as possible. On the slides above you’ll find some ways to know whether or not what you’ve written will need to be refined. As you're working on your dream summary, remember that lots of drafts or a normal part of creating a strong vision. Have fun with this, you’re bringing your dream into reality.
