I SEE... I MUST...I Will
Three Key Words To Help Us Live Exceptional Lives
© Lee Wise 2003 All rights reserved
A GREAT TRIO
If someone were to present a set of Olympic medals to the
top three finalists for key phrases that help propel us
toward living an exceptional style of life, the finalists
might very well be:
I see!
I must!
I will!
"I SEE"
I see is vision.
It is the ability or sense of a "way we need to go."
It may be an inner emotion that says...
"We should do this... and we can do this."
It may be a burden on the heart that won't go away.
Or a dream that must be realized.
You just see it.
You see the book produced, the organization formed, the
children helped, the homes built, or the people energized.
Next comes...
"I MUST"
This is the feeling that something must be done.
In this phase of living the exceptional style of life, there
is a strong personal conviction that is inherently present
at the beginning or developed over a period of time.
I see that's vision.
I must that's conviction.
Then comes...
"I WILL"
No surprise here: the final medallist that steps onto the
winners' block is determination.
As the watching world expresses its appreciation...
What could be done
Is joined by what must be done
And they both welcome what will done...
Into the spotlight reserved for those who survived years and
years of training for the purpose of receiving the honor they
deserve.
SAID IN ANOTHER WAY...
Right Vision
+
Strong Conviction
+
Determination
Focused, Exceptional Living
And of course that spells "influence" in great big capital
letters.
Think about it:
The power of living an exceptional life
is the power of influence.
A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
May I encourage you to hold on to the positive, well thought
through "visions" you have entertained over the years?
And to pay attention to the feelings inside of you that
say, "This must be done"?
Maybe the timing is not right... for now.
Maybe it shouldn't happen... just yet.
Or possibly it should! It could be the time for
determination to take the stand and cause you to make the
first step towards the accomplishment your vision.
Or the second.
Or the third.
I don't know but chances are you do.
Yours for a day filled with beautiful moments in time,
Lee
