Vision Is a Thing of the Heart People of accomplishment form vivid images of what things will be like once they have achieved what they want to achieve. They keep this vision in mind at all times. Vision is a thing of the heart. It’s the desire that provides the energy and the will to keep going. Goals are creatures of the mind. They are the intermediate steps on the way to the vision, mileposts on the way to success, significance, and fulfillment. To achieve our objectives, we must develop action plans—step-by-step procedures for reaching our goals. Once a vision has been developed and goals established, we find it easier to distinguish the urgent from the important. An urgent task may not be very important in the long run, but it demands immediate attention. UNcommon Principle
