"If you don't have a vision, then your reality will always be determined by
other's perceptions.
-Melanee Addison
The person you know you best is yourself. Your dreams are known to you only and no one knows what you know about your dream. Your priorities are your own. You limitations and strengths are known to you only. Your vision is clear to you only. You are always `seeing' your life unfolding in front of your mental eyes. This silent movie is invisible to all others.
This is true to anyone irrespective of his resources.
Once we understand this simple principle, the best thing to do will be to dream and visualize your wildest dream coming true. Since you only know your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, your dream will be realistic. What others think about you is only a perception. There is a gap between perception and reality. Others may perceive you as week in a particular area, but you only know that you are strong. Others may perceive you as lacking in some area of your life, but you only know that you are adequate.
If you stop dreaming your future, then you are surrendering your life to be directed by others' perception of yourself. If you allow this to happen, your accomplishments will be limited by others' perception and will not match your hidden potential.
So, dream the wildest dream. Visualize yourself accomplishing the most difficult thing with ten times the limitations that you know about yourself. This dream is better than what others think about yourself!
