An Element of Eternal Hope
The time is now but eternity is forever. Eternity is one big eternal present - within it, there is no past, no future and no in-between, there is only a now.
Your vision needs to be present at all times - to be sure the vision may not yet be attained, but it when its goals are achieved that visionary image will be present.
If the vision contains a crystallized hope, it will appear to mirror the best parts of eternity - your vision will be without any past regrets, without the fear of future doom and it will contain one ever-present hope for better things.
An Element of Unlimited Dimensionality
Does your vision statement inspire our bodies, minds, spirits and potentials? Have you spoken to and connected with our physical, intellectual, spiritual or developmental beings?
The vision that finds its way into a group's innermost core has the best chance of realization. Your statement must help your audience to see their opportunities to:
- Add tangible value to their world
- Pursue newer, more challenging ideas
- Be empowered to accomplish greater things
- Grow beyond the limitations of their current state
Use the power of dimension to lengthen, deepen, heighten and broaden the character, capability, competence and potential of your team - they'll be the better for it.

Your vivid vision statement should contain the promise of a greater, more desirable world - if you include these 7 elements, you will see your envisioned ideas become a glorious version of a new reality.
Thomas Jefferson included the line, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" to describe his vision of an United States of America in the Declaration of Independence.
Jefferson's ideas certainly sparked the imaginations of many people and his statements were eventually transformed into a tangible reality. The best vision statements embody ideals that are usually shared by all participants.
If you can find those ideals, if you use the 7 elements and if you share your heart with your followers, you too will be able to craft an enduring, yet inspirational vision.
Start writing a vision for your own personal growth and future - then take action and put your ideals into practice and help others to realize their dreams.
Don't let the people perish, give them a vivid vision to run with and prosper by and the world will beat a path to your door!
