Your vision should be associated with a greater purpose
Your vision should be associated with a greater purpose. This purpose could be to help yourself grow, to help other people grow, to achieve something, or to make a difference.
— from The Flight Plan (Purpose/Wisdom/Risk)
In the book
Then dare to write it down. Your vision should be put into words and shared with the people who will help you reach it; a written mission becomes a kind of personal constitution, the fixed thing you measure every smaller decision against. A vision statement, at bottom, is just an honest declaration of how you intend to invest your one short life, and the values you hold most deeply are what that vision rests on. — The Flight Plan (Purpose/Wisdom/Risk)
