“God created each of us with a vision to make an impact in the world, but it is our responsibility to realize it, develop it, enhance it and use it.” Bernard Haynes
You were born with the potential to live an extraordinary life. Your journey to extraordinary living is about realizing your life’s vision. When you discover your vision your life will forever change. You will become more energized and excited to live each day. You will begin to think, talk and walk with a different motivation.
You will not permit life’s distractions and discouragements to hold you hostage. You will not allow today’s circumstances to keep you from moving towards tomorrow’s promises.
Here are 21 insights that will empower you to live out your God-designed vision with impact.
1. God’s desire is that you have a vision that comes from Him and belongs to you personally and not a vision dictated by contemporary society, traditional religion or some else’s opinion.

8. Vision is the ingredient that will launch you out of a place of stagnation and into forward action
9. If your vision is from God then it will be bigger than what you can do alone.
10. Your vision is not a one size fits all, but it is uniquely fashioned to fit you.

16. No matter how challenging life gets, don’t give up, because your vision is the key to fulfilling your life’s purpose.
17. When God reveals your vision it will begin to influence the way you think, talk, conduct your daily activities, who you allow in your inner circle and what you spend your time and money on.
18. You cannot be valuable to God’s ultimate plan if you do not know and understand your personal vision.

Great post, Bernard. Man, I appreciate your wisdom! Number 5 and 20 are awesome and I’ll quote you when I use them! What an amazing gift vision is, and we thought our senses were amazing?

Thanks Floyd. Vision is an amazing gift. It aligns us where God desires for us to go. It will be honor for you to use any of my quotes.

#2 and 10 really spoke to me. Thank you.
Sometimes I don’t understand the reason God calls me to do something until after I do it. But each step I must trust Him.
Bernard Haynes says
TC, I have learned to not try and figure out why God calls us to do something. Just follow His lead. He is known for taking the least likely to succeed or the person counted out and use them to a great work. He is doing a phenomenal work in and through you. Keep allowing Him to use you. Be blessed.
TCAvey says
Thank you for your kind words, Bernard. I really appreciate it.
God is so awesome…to not look at us as the world does (or even as we see ourselves). He sees all the potential and beauty in us, because He’s the one who put it there!
