SELF-AWARENESS: GOALS AND INTERESTS

1.7. Career Vision

Everything we create begins in our minds. Before bringing our ideas to life, we carefully think them through and imagine them. It’s like building a house: before laying the foundation, we visualize what our home will look like—how many rooms there will be, where the fireplace will stand, and how the furniture will be arranged. This initial creative phase is crucial because it helps prevent mistakes and additional expenses during the construction process.

Just as we build a house, we also build our lives and careers. This initial creative phase is called vision—a clear mental picture of what we want to achieve in life and in our careers. A vision provides us with purpose and motivation, helping us make decisions and overcome challenges. When we create a vision, it’s like drawing a map of our future. This map helps us navigate through life and make choices that bring us closer to our goals.

While creating a vision for our lives isn’t mandatory, it gives us more control. If we don’t shape our own future, we often let others do it for us. However, that can lead to living someone else’s dreams instead of our own. By creating our own vision, we choose what we want from life and take responsibility for those choices.
