How Important is Vision to You?

It was interesting to see how Andy Stanley outlined how a vision comes to fruition.  It is very true that a vision begins as a concern, and takes time to grow, not necessarily requiring immediate action.
More after the jump...
Vision is something that is very important for me, or so I thought.  Thinking of ideas is something that comes easy for me to do.  I like to dream big and think big.  However, I have discovered that my visions often do not progress beyond a concern.  I have a difficult time waiting, and allowing something to come to full fruition.  When I have a vision, I often think that I have to do something immediately, and if I don’t then it will never happen.  Rather, after seeing Stanley’s outline, it is apparent that a vision is much more than a fleeting thought or idea.  A vision especially from the lord is something that requires effort and putting ideas into actualization.  It is something that actually goes right along with Guy Kawasaki’s The Art of the Start.  Here, Kawasaki gives useful tips to help one begin putting ideas down on paper, networking with others and actualizing beyond vision.  However, Stanley’s visioneering is something that is necessary prior actually starting.  Indeed it is important to let a vision begin.  I have found this outline useful to show that my idea of visioneering ought to be something much, much, more than what I have done in the past.  Apparently my “visionneering” needs to be much more important in my life to acutally help ideas come into being.
