Business Book Summaries

The value of vision cannot be overstated. Don’t allow this personally significant word to become something trite because of its overuse. Value the vision God desires to ignite in you because His vision provides a strategy that guarantees a journey of fulfillment and joy. Step into what is already designed for you.

Vision helps you envision the future as it releases you from your past and causes you to look beyond the present. Again, be reminded of Dr. David Yongi Cho’s powerful statement, “Show me your vision, and I’ll show you your future.”

Without vision, there will be no spark – just a status quo, maintenance lifestyle. You will end up doing what you think you should do instead of what you were created to do. Doing what you should do gets old quickly. Doing what you were created to do is exciting. Vision is the motivation; it’s the desire to do what God created you to do.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you’ve already mastered, you will never grow or live beyond where you are right now. Continual growth is the difference between winning and losing. A winner presses on to grow, change and expand, always stretching beyond the ordinary. Everyone knows you can’t win a race if you stop and stand still.

If you can’t think of uplifting, positive words to describe yourself, then you aren’t seeing yourself as God sees you or thinking the way God thinks. Sometimes our thinking becomes warped by limitations placed on us by other people, by their unbelief, their small ways of thinking, their doubts, borders, limits, and fears.

Sometimes we put limitations on ourselves and then close our eyes and pretend they don’t exist. Such limitations are really barriers between what you “see” you are able to accomplish and where you actually are. What you see may be factual, real, and true but, unreachable because of the invisible barrier either you or someone else has erected in front of you.
