0:00:36 - (Kevin Lowe): That is, in my opinion, what your personal vision is. And today we're going to create that for you. The reason why I feel like this is so important is because, well, I feel like having your own personal vision. It's honestly the difference between living and living well. And I believe we should all want to live well. A life that isn't aimless. No, it has a purpose, because we know where we want to go.

0:04:13 - (Kevin Lowe): It's only for you. No one else even needs to know about it. These are your own dreams that you are making come true through your own personal vision. So now that we have cleared up what this personal vision is, let's discuss the power of having a personal vision. Think of your personal vision as that compass, the GPF that guides you on a road trip where you have all these twists and turns and well, you can always count on that gps, that compass to get you to where you want to go, to your final destination.
::
0:05:25 - (Kevin Lowe): You've already planned it out, you've already figured out your optimum situation. It's your own personal vision. So now let's dive into some criteria when we talk about creating this personal vision. Because I don't want you to get it confused with goal setting or having ideas or dreams or a to do list. It is none of that at all. Your personal vision is about you getting clear on your own dreams and desires. It's you getting clear on your own life's purpose.
::
0:06:33 - (Kevin Lowe): I want you to get crystal clear on this personal vision of where you are, what you're doing, who you're with, and what is going through your head. That is how detailed we're getting with the personal vision. Again, it's not goals. No. It's not a to do list. No. It's a vision for the future. What do you want your future to look like? That is what you create in your own personal vision. So let's dive into some steps, some helpful tips to help you create your own personal vision. That's why you're here, after all.
::
0:07:46 - (Kevin Lowe): No, I don't want you to think of anyone but you. This is your own personal vision that no one else even needs to know about. So I want you to get crystal clear on what you desire and no one else. The next step is I want you to think of that future. And now I want you to think like you just took a photograph, a snapshot, a moment frozen in time. And that is the vision I want you to focus on. I'm going to give you an idea.
::
0:08:51 - (Kevin Lowe): Inside the cabin, of course, is my family, my wife. And we're there to just enjoy life. And I'm able to do so because my career allows it. That's my dream for the future. I want you to get detailed and figure out what is your dream for the future? What is your vision? Now, if you're in this process and you're finding it a little bit difficult to really figure this all out just by thinking, well, by goodness sakes, don't hesitate to break out your journal to get a notepad and start jotting some ideas down.
::
0:10:01 - (Kevin Lowe): But the biggest thing is that I want you to just realize that this is something for you. So if you're fearful that somebody is going to see this, well, maybe don't write it down or keep it in safekeeping, because I want this to be all about you, not about anybody else. And then we come to the next step in this process. If we have our ideal vision in mind, we have this set now, we can actually begin working towards it. We can start taking action.
::
0:11:19 - (Kevin Lowe): I think so. If not, I mean, what the heck are we even doing? We're not here to waste time. My goodness, this life is way too short for me or you to be messing around. No, we got a vision and we are ready to be there to make it come true. And my friend, it's honestly that simple. That is. Today's episode is me encouraging you to get real on your hopes and dreams, to get real on your future. Because if we don't know where we're going, then how will we ever know when we get there?
::
0:12:24 - (Kevin Lowe): Get crystal clear, enjoy it. And remember, as always, if this episode resonates with you and you can't help but think, man, my friend really needs to hear this.
