Vision has to be accompanied by action
Dr. Roberto Miranda
SUMMARY: Successful people have the ability to think positively and act concretely. They turn their visions into reality by drawing up a plan and implementing it in a disciplined way, one action at a time. Without action, visions are just dreams, and without vision, action is a waste of time. The energy to translate a dream into an action plan and incorporate it into the dimension of time and space is crucial for success.
The successful people I know have the dual ability to think positively and act concretely. They can go seamlessly from conception to action. They turn their visions into concrete endeavors. They do not stay in the realm of the theoretical and visionary. They proceed from dream to reality with admirable fluidity. They draw up a plan, even if it's rudimentary and instinctive, and proceed to implement it in a disciplined way, one humble action at a time, over time, until it is fully realized.
Joel Barker has stated: “Vision without action is a mere vain dream. Action without vision is a mere waste of time. Vision with action can change the world ”. If your visions and your confessions are not accompanied by an iron will to implement them one piece at a time, they can never affect the world. They will remain in the stratosphere, like cold stars unable to shed light or heat on your circumstances.
Napoleon Hill, one of the great motivators of our time, declares: “First comes the thought; then the organization of that thought into ideas and plans; finally, the transformation of those plans into reality ”. We have to combine the ability to dream with the discipline to execute.
What transforms a mere dream into an inspiring and feasible vision is the energy to translate it into an action plan, the ability to draw it in three dimensions, with its constituent parts, and incorporate it in a disciplined way into the dimension of time and space. This is perhaps the most important part, the crucial stage, and the one in which most people fail. The sublime ships of greatness frequently crash against the reefs of specificity.
