Visionary Goals: A guide to thinking brand new

We have arrived into the year 2019. In a time where individualism is scarce, it is important to find goals which are attainable and unique. Resolutions have become vapid and overrated. Many set goals just to abandon them without any consistency or progress. This poses the question, Why have many of us failed at setting goals for ourselves? I believe mental fitness plays a huge part in our daily success stories. In order to make meaningful progress in life, we must start with exercising our minds. There are many terms for people who think differently and more advanced. When I think about individuals who think progressively and challenge the status quo the expression visionary comes to mind. The working definition of a visionary is thinking about or planning the future with imagination or wisdom. Many may believe this is a gift possessed by the “chosen”  but to a certain extent, we all exhibit visionary characteristics in this current age of technology. We have transitioned into an era where we can access information at the touch of a button, which provides us with the mental workout we need to think and act in a way destined for greatness. One may be uncertain of how to acquire unlimited success. Let’s discuss what tools we need to access our imagination and attain visionary status.

Be aware of false information

The negative aspect of the technological era we live in is the influx of biased info. If you are well equipped and aware you will understand how to spot false or emotion provoking information.
