[A Short Story & Thread]
Your vision is how you picture your future
For some it's nice cars, a mansion, and babes
For other's its a strong family unit, meaningful work, and tradition
This is great to have - you can always refer back to it when you are getting off track

Challenge for you:
Stop what you are doing right now
Write down the things you do not want in your future
