When you hear the word “vision,” you might think of eyesight, the ability to clearly see the world around you. That is certainly one meaning of the word, but “vision” also has another meaning.
Vision also means having the ability to see clearly into the future.
For example, you might hear that someone was hired to lead a successful company because that person possessed not only skills and experience but a vision for the company—a clear idea about where the company should go in the future and what it should do to get there.
Having a vision for the future, either in one’s own life, or in one’s work, is important. It gives us a clear goal, something to work toward. It helps us make decisions in the present because we know we need to take actions that inch us closer to our future goals.

Life is complicated, however, and the path to the future we envision for ourselves is rarely a straight one. Events occur that block our path, slow our progress, or even set us on different path altogether. Sometimes, though, when we don’t end up living the life we envisioned, the new path is even better.
