\\u201cIf you don\\u2019t know where you\\u2019re going, any road will take you there.\\u201d This quote is from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Yogi Berra put a famous twist on this by saying \\u201cIf you don\\u2019t know where you\\u2019re going you\\u2019ll end up someplace else.\\u201d\\xa0

"Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind." Seneca

In absence of vision and clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia. Has your life fallen into mindless routine? Do you have a vague feeling that you would like to be doing something different, be somewhere else, spend your days involved in something more meaningful? It all begins with your vision. Not just a dream or a romantic ideal, a vision that is clearly developed, that focuses your life, informs the development of your goals, and directs the priorities of your daily life. It is possible to live a well-thought life. Not only is it possible, you might be missing the best possible life and the best possible version of you. It is good for every person to devote time regularly to thinking about the bigger picture of his or her life.

Mark Dolfini is the author of \\u201cThe Time Wealthy Investor\\u201d and in that book he outlines his VIP strategy. VIP is an acronym standing for Vision, Infrastructure, and Process. His work and thoughts on the Vision part alone are some of the best I\\u2019ve seen. I might have planted a little seed in his brain about doing an entire course on Vision and that has now become a reality. Mark will be making a guest appearance tonight at the Flipping America REIA meeting via video chat. But he also is going to join us in just a moment for a conversation about his new course on Vision.\\xa0
