Why Vision Statements Work

Well, hopefully some of you have been inspired to start writing your own vision statements. If you're still just thinking about it, I promise the first 4 sentences are the hardest and from there it just flows. It is like turning on an old rusty water spicket. The first few turns are real hard and then the water just starts coming out quickly.


What I want to talk about today is "why" vision statements work.


WHY?




It's widely known that any thought continually impressed upon the subconscious mind long enough becomes fixed and habitual. The simple act of writing a vision statement and reading it everyday will continually impress your vision upon your subconscious. Your subconscious mind can not tell the difference between truth and imagination, it just takes the images and feelings it recieves and processes it all as truth.

Put another way, whatever thought or image you give your subconscious mind to work on it will diligently work on it as if it is true and make it a reality. Eventually, your actions will change. You will begin to make choices that support you vision. And this will all happen subconsciously. Meaning, when you make these decsions they will come naturally. Kind of like how we subconsciously move every muscle in our body when we run up a flight of stairs. It all happens very naturally, you don't tell each muscle to move individually. The subconscious mind just tells the body what to do to get the job done.
