An idea, a set of goals or a vision, any of which are developed with personal inspiration, can lead an individual into action. Yet many such plans fail to bring the hoped for results.

Yes, visions can and do arise from both a superficial wish and also from a deep commitment to a clear purpose. Perhaps what is needed is an enlarged view of human behavior. After all the foundation for the individual is rooted in the past generations. The past has more influence as long as it is unknown. The future can be a more open road when one is able to see the past with a calm mind.

Ideally a true vision will be developed to sustain curiosity, encourage commitments and lead to better adaptations in a changing world. To sustain any vision, a foundation can be built by continuing to develop awareness of self in the moment and in historical patterns. With new awareness one can select the content of thoughts and actions rather than being driven by old habits. The goals is to learn how to be thoughtful in making choices that are worthy of one's life's investment.
