If you tell this to someone, they’ll go sure. Sounds clear right? You need direction in your life. Then if you ask: Do you have a vision? A lot of times the answer is no. There is no direction without a vision. Your vision is your destination, your Northstar, your lighthouse. It’s that dot on the horizon you want to go to.
