Do you have a clear vision of your future? If you don't, you're not alone and
a personal vision statement is just the thing for you. It acts as a GPS system on
your path in life but not only that, it helps you make decisions and in this
video I'm going to share with you some personal vision statement examples. Hi, if
you're new to my channel, welcome. My name is Adriana Girdler, I'm a business
productivity specialist and a visioning wizard. I am so glad that you're here
with me today because I'm gonna be sharing with you something which are
visual vision statement examples and I'm not just talking about any old vision
vision statement, I'm talking about a visual vision statement and I will share
that with you in just a sec. But, before we begin, I want to share with you
where I got these examples from. They are from readers who've actually done my
visual vision workbook and created their own vision statement and I have their
permission to share with you their examples. Now, if you want to do one of
these, you don't need my workbook, you can actually do it yourself, but if you want
a guide to help you with this process you can grab it from the link below.
Personal vision statement example number one. Now I'm gonna share with you
something really special, this is mine, I live and breathe this, this is my GPS in
life, I actually make decisions based on this and this is why this is so powerful
because life is busy already and we can be on this hamster wheel and be really
just busy doing nothing and it's not moving us forward but if you really have
a goal, a desire, a dream, you need a visual statement because it helps you
see what's going on and in this one it all represents something really
meaningful and passionate for me and I really created this from doing very
specific exercises that I put in that workbook that I shared with you and
every day I look at this and it inspires me to say yes and no. In fact, if you take
a look at my TED talk, that's why I did one, because of this right here, but I
also have other things that I do in my business because of this vision
statement and my TED talk explains that so I'm not going to get into it here but
it is powerful. I can't imagine not seeing this every day.
I cannot imagine not knowing what is it that I'm supposed to do. In fact, doing
some planning for my business, I look at this and it's making decisions or
helping me make decisions that really resonate with me so when I get up
and I'm working, it doesn't feel like work, I just know I'm moving towards
goals, that is what's so powerful about this and because it's a visual, guess
what? A picture's worth a thousand words. If I had it in words like I did before,
you gloss over it, you don't see it, you don't connect with it, but the beauty of
art is just that - you connect with it with your heart and your soul and that
is what you want with your visual vision, so this is mine that you can go on my
website, check out in greater detail if you want, but I live and breathe by this.
I've had it for a long time and I smile every single time I see it and
everything means something really important to me. Alright, the one I just
showed you, mine, was professionally graphic design. I actually did it on
sketch with color and I gave it to a professional graphic designer in order
to create that particularly one for me because I wanted it on canvas, I wanted
to treat it like artwork however you can sketch them out yourself just on pieces
of paper and blow those up and make it a poster for yourself or just leave it on
the size that it is on letter. Now, I have another example to show for you one of
someone who actually did the workbook, and I want to share it with you right
now. I'm just gonna bring it forward, hopefully you can see that so what I
love about this and what they shared with me is this is really meaningful for
them. They got the words that are gonna inspire them, musical notes because
they're really into singing and how important that was for them to continue
that and put that on the forefront but what's really key here is that
everything resonates with them and they make daily decisions based on this and
they had to go through the exercise to figure out what exactly it was that was
important to them. Here's another personal vision statement
example, right here I'm going to show you this one, hopefully you can see that. See,
you don't have to be an artist and sometimes when I say to people, 'Create
your own visual vision statement' they're like, 'Oh my gosh, I can't draw!' It doesn't
matter, it's for you! Again, this is about what resonates with you. You want to be
able to take a look at it and really be connected to it so that you can make
decisions on it because don't forget, this is your GPS in life, you want to be
able to know what to say yes and no to and you want to do it instantaneously.
The only way you're gonna do that is if you take a look at it
visually and you can see what's resonating with you so on this one, yeah,
they really picked up things that were important to them so that they can
connect with it. Now, here is another personal vision statement example, I'm
gonna bring this up to you, hopefully you can see it, you can see how different
these are because it's about people in their vision, this one is very flowy,
everything is connected I remember speaking to this individual about it and
it was like a little path of how they wanted to go about doing their life, the
things they wanted to do in a particular order and that was okay. It's about
knowing what it is that you want but the only way they could do it is if they
really reflected and this is what I love about personal vision statements and the
examples that you see of it, is that it is a way for you to get ideas, it is a
way for you to know that you don't have to be an artist, you just have to put pen
to paper and start really thinking about, through structured exercises because
that's really important, you want to make sure you're looking and reflecting on
the right things but then drawing it out and having it everywhere. One of the
things I really find very helpful is when you start plastering it everywhere
like you can put it on a screen saver on your phone, computer, you can even turn
it into a mousepad, whatever you desire, you can go even as far as I did and you
can get a graphic designer to design it for you so it has that professional look
and put it on canvas because really, this is how important it is. You're supposed
to really show it off so that you can look at it every day and on that note, I
hope that you take a look at these examples, realize that there's different
ways to do them, there is no right or wrong, it is a question of just doing it.
Don't think about it, I'm gonna challenge you to actually do it. If you're inspired
by these visions statement examples and you want your own, guess what? Check out
