Define Vision Statement Now, is the time for some action. Time to make and write down your very own ‘Vision Statement’. Here are four tips to write a fitting/apt vision statement: • Say it like it’s already happened: When writing your vision, say it like it has already happened. Put your goals in words that assume that you already have achieved them. For example, “I now have a new silver BMW 4 door 2010 sedan.” • Use motivating language: To get you passionate, committed and motivated, add emotional language to your written goals. Here’s an example “I absolutely love and am excited about my beautiful new home in the hills” which is much more passionate than “I like my new home in the hills”. • Write specifically and in detail: Yoursubconscious manifests things literally, you want to write specific detailed goals. Use language that is clear in describing exactly what it is you want. • Write in positive terms rather than negative ones: Examples of positive statements might be: “I am now free of the habit of smoking”, or “I am now a smoke free person”. Negative examples might be: “I don’t smoke anymore” or “I’m not a smoker”.
