"Vision will prioritize your values.  A clear vision has the power to bring what's most important to the surface of your schedule and lifestyle.  A clear vision makes it easy to weed out of your life those things that stand in the way of achieving what matters most.  Vision empowers you to move purposefully in a predetermined direction.  Once you have clarified your vision, or visions, many decisions are already made.  Without vision, good things hinder you from achieving the best things.

My observation is that people without clear vision are easily distracted.  They have a tendency to drift from one activity, pleasure, or relationship to another.  Without vision, there is no relational, financial, or moral compass.  Consequently, they often make foolish decisions.  Decisions that rob them of their dreams."
