Creating a Vision

Last night the Forest Foundationers attended the final training session of the quarter with Jim Peal. In addition to bringing everything we had learned over the course of the several sessions together, the session also included an exercise on how to create a compelling vision for your life. I thought this interesting - a vision statement is something almost every business in America creates for itself, yet as individuals, hardly anyone seriously considers making a vision statement for themselves. Why not? Without a clear vision for what they wanted to achieve, a business would no doubt fail right out of the gates. So it makes sense for people to create visions for themselves as well; it creates a track for one's self and sets out a series of attainable goals. Moreover, creating a vision for one's self lends purpose to the moment at hand, rather than seeming as if the moment were a random, disconnected event. Last night's session, then, can be said to be both helpful for the individuals there, and for the foundation as a whole.
