Today we’re going to cover the vision of life. A break from all the nutrition substacks and back to the Zero To Alpha wisdom ones. Which I honestly missed writing a bit. This topic is good to review from time to time. It’s easy to lose sight of the vision of your life.
Life happens as people say buft in reality, it’s just people getting comfortable and they stop caring about themselves. I’ve seen it happen many times. People lie to themselves all the time and say “this is fine”.
We’ve all been guilty of it, myself included, but deep down we all knew it wasn’t fine. And the longer we lied to ourselves, the worse it got but also the longer it took to undo all the damage.
The vision of your life.
Like mentioned before, we all hit a point where we get stagnant in life. It could be due to a multitude of things. Maybe you’re too comfortable, got distracted, faced too many setbacks,… It doesn’t really matter what it is.
Whenever we are stagnant, it’s because we stop dreaming/thinking of what we want. It’s game over once that’s gone. Because in the end, someone will define what you “want” in life. That person might just not be you, and you might just accept it. Even worse, you accept it with a dead look in your eyes. You whisper, ‘This is fine.’ Then you exhale, disappointed — knowing you just lied to yourself.
It’s crucial in life to focus on what you want. Without it, life is purposeless. It’s empty and miserable. Excitement comes from the never-ending journey. Because this is something a lot of people also don’t seem to get.
Most people want the easy road. They want to be done. But once you ‘arrive’? Misery waits. Boredom waits. If you’re not careful—addiction waits. No wonder so many retire at 65, only to find depression… and an early death
They fell for the biggest lie of them all. Wait until 65, and you can do what you want. It sounds like the golden ticket, but it’s all a mirage.
Focusing on a better present and future is what you want. Let’s break it down?
The Vision Of Life: What Do You Want Exactly?
Ask people what they want, and most can’t give you a real answer. They’re either too shy to say it, or they just repeat what someone else told them they should want.
But I never asked you what other people wanted for you. I asked YOU what YOU wanted exactly in life. Defining this is crucial in life, and reminding yourself of it from time to time is even more important. Write it down and remind yourself of it. Create that purpose, and align with the idea that you can create a better future for yourself.
But it doesn’t end there.
The Vision Of Life: Why Do You Want It?
Defining your what is not enough. You should also define why. Knowing why you want something is crucial. Because some things mean a lot for some people but are meaningless for others.
There is nothing wrong with that. But knowing why something is important for you is. My parents, for example, always wanted me to climb the corporate ladder and have a career. At one point I claimed I wanted it too, but if you asked me why, I’d say because I wanted to make my parents proud.
The reality was that I actually didn’t want it. I wanted to pursue a career in football. Why? Because I loved football and knew I was willing to suffer to get to the top.
In the end, it never happened, and I found Muay Thai, which I love more. But you get the point.
Define your what.
Write it down on paper now.
Define your why.
Get after it.
And watch magic happen.
I promise you it’ll be a journey you’ll remember forever.
