Creating a Vision Worth Being Alive

Overcoming Challenges to Your Vision

Creating a vision is one thing, but overcoming the obstacles that come between you and that vision is where the real work begins. Often, we face internal resistance—self-doubt, negative thinking, or fear of failure—that can sabotage even the clearest vision. The key to overcoming these challenges is to be aware of them and to take deliberate steps to address them.

One common barrier is negativity, whether from yourself or others. It's easy to get discouraged by setbacks, but the key is to shift your mindset. Instead of focusing on what’s going wrong, look at what you can control and how you can move forward. Surrounding yourself with positive influences and reminders of your vision can help keep you on track.

Rena's story from the Coaches Corner is a perfect example of how even the most negative outlook can be transformed. Initially, she struggled to see any future beyond what she described as "doom and gloom." But by focusing on becoming a public speaker about positivity, she began to see a future filled with purpose. Her vision gave her a way to overcome the negative mindset that had held her back for so long.

Overcoming these challenges requires persistence, support, and sometimes a fresh perspective. Having a coach or accountability partner can make all the difference in helping you stay on course.
