While surfing around the blogosphere the other day I came across Grant Cardone’s blog and rant. He was ranting about personal accountability of the middle class and working your tail off for your dreams. He ranted about working eighteen hours a day to build his dream. He was dedicated, persistent, and willing to give up stuff to live his vision.
The sixty-four million dollar question is what will you sacrifice to live your vision?
If you work for a company and put in eight hours every day five days a week are you living your vision. I suspect you are trading life and precious time away in place of your true self.
Now, please don’t get me wrong. I am not suggesting that earning a living is bad. I see it as responsibility. And, if you have a vision to be, do, or have something more you need to think differently.
Grant Cardone built his life through inside out thinking. By this I mean Grant saw what he wanted clearly, took a chance, worked hard, and realized what he envisioned for his life.
When we choose to trade time for money at a company we may be abandoning our vision for the company’s vision. You don’t own the vision. You may not even connect with the vision. This vision is given to you. It is outside in visioning.
Do you really want someone else controlling your daily destiny and your vision?
It’s time to re-engineer your vision. Your vision needs to come from the heart. What is it you deeply desire for yourself, your family, or the world? Be bold. Be big. Live a life that matters through a vision that comes from the inside out.
