What will I focus on
in the next two
days, that moves
me closer to my
preferred future?

It is important to ask, “What’s going to happen for us and for
our environment in the next 25 years?”

“What do we want to make happen?”
Vision is not figuring out what is going to change and
adapting to it. Vision is about deciding how we will change
the world.
