Following are a few simple ways through which we can
manage to add meaning and some degree of contentment
to our life.
1. LIST YOUR ROLES IN LIFE
Understanding the design of life as our Creator intended
and our place within it is the most important role of all.
Apart from that, all of our roles can be divided into two
main categories; mandated or elective. Mandated roles
are those that your ideology doesn’t allow to drop under
any circumstances. These include the role of father, son,
or brother. Elective roles are those that your ideology
permits you to drop under certain conditions. These
would include the role of employee or a friend.

2. Categorizing your roles into these main groups is the first step towards creating
balance in your life and making it more rewarding.
2. ENVISION EACH ROLE SEPARATELY
After categorizing your roles, the second step is to identify the vision behind each
of your roles. The vision that you associate with each role needs to be
comprehensive, covering the areas of physical, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional
development.
Sometimes we disregard the fact that life isn’t just about career and wealth. There
are other roles that need to be taken care of too. Failing to envision them or
missing any of the four critical perspectives of the vision can put that role in such
serious trouble that it cannot be resolved with money.
3. HAVE A CLEAR PURPOSE
BEHIND VISIONS
To have a vision is to
visualize the future of each
of your roles. However,
simply visualizing the role
is not enough. There must
be a worthwhile and
significant purpose behind
your vision. If your vision is
‘what’, then the purpose
behind that vision is the
‘why’.
A clear purpose provides a sound foundation and a strong justification for the vision
and is the main motivating force behind it.

3. Often, people with vague or weak purposes of vision or no purpose
at all are the first ones to go into depression when adversity hits. I
strongly recommend starting with the ‘why’. Why are you working
in a company where you’re working? Why do you want to be an
entrepreneur? Why do you want to increase your sales? Why do
you want to join a certain company? Why do you want to get the
immigration of a certain country?
Do you have sound and unchallengeable purposes behind your
visions? Think about it.
4. SHARE YOUR VISIONS WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS
Once you have finished articulating your visions and purposes, the
next most important step is to share them with the respective
Suppose ‘I envision my son
to be healthy, happy,
intellectually well
developed, emotionally
balanced, spiritually
connected to the Creator, a
contributor to the well
being of humanity, and a
role model for his fellow
human beings’. This could
be a vision statement of a
father for his son. The
purpose of the vision will
elaborate why you want all
of this for your son. Why do
you want him to be a great
contributor to humanity?
Why do you want him to be
spiritually connected to the
Creator?
stakeholders. For instance, if you are developing a vision for your son, you must share
it with your spouse who has a critical share in this development. You also need to
share the vision with your son as he grows up. Sharing doesn’t only mean sharing it
verbally but also through your character and actions. Your character and your actions
need to be aligned with what you’re sharing verbally with others.
If you’re a business leader and have created a powerful vision for your organization,
develop a road map for sharing it with senior, middle, and junior management. If you
wish to unleash the true potential of your team members, you need to be aware of
their personal visions and connect them to the organizational ones. Organizations that
successfully develop this connection are the ones where people come to work with a
zeal and enthusiasm to pursue and contribute to a greater purpose. Visions should be
the driving force behind your work force rather than a paycheck.
5. DEVELOP A ROADMAP FOR VISIONS
When you’re done with establishing your visions and their purpose and have started
sharing them, you need to start working on Intermediate Visions or IVs. Intermediate

visions are derived from the ultimate vision but are shorter visions targeted towards a
certain time period. This is opposed to the ultimate vision that is independent of any time
constraint and is timeless and valid upon any period of
time. Ultimate vision transcends your life in such a manner that it remains behind as your
legacy even if you are no longer alive. This is why your vision needs to be valuable with an
enduring purpose.
Remember, some people continue to live on even after they are dead whilst others are good
as dead, with fruitless and unproductive existences, even though they are alive. Creating
visions is an opportunity to leave a legacy behind you. Intermediate visions allow you to
have measurable targets for the next few years of your life starting with the current year
and are connected to the greater ultimate vision. Since this allows the day-to-day decision
making to be aligned with the greater vision, the chances of random, on the spur of the
moment decision making are gone.
If you seriously want to make your life meaningful and rewarding both in this world and
beyond, then follow the tested principles described above. Envisioning and creating visions
is a painstaking task but a sure shot first step towards a fruitful, purposeful, and gratifying
life. A life most people wish they had but don’t know how to take the first step towards.
Remember, if you develop the powerful mechanism to focus and concentrate in life through
your visions, even the loudest noises of the world won’t distract you. In the words of
Napoleon Hill, ‘The world steps aside for a man who knows where he is going’.
The world is a critical race of not how much money you can make but a race of
living this life for a greater purpose. Since no one is aware of when their finish
line will suddenly arrive, we need to act quickly to be prepared to meet it.
