Visioning

Visioning is not difficult. It is our thought of a desired state that generates energy and puts us in action to achieve the desired goal.

Let us think of our childhood experience when we were learning how to ride a bicycle. Many times we fell down, got bruises here and there. Did we give up riding bicycle? Rather, we tried with renewed vigor and energy. Why we did so? The vision that I was also riding the bicycle was vividly in my mind i.e. thought process. Nothing could derail me in my pursuit to learning the riding of a bicycle.

We behave as we feel. We feel as we think. May be revising the thought process is a bit difficult as status quo gives a feel of comfort. It is similar to “liking the old cheese”. But when I look back and I find that there had been umpteen number occasions where I had achieved something, there was visioning of the desired state or result behind such achievement.

Can we think of our CAIIB exam? It was not the monetary incentive alone. A State Banker who had completed both parts was treated as someone knowledgeable and dependable source of banking information. The visioning myself in such a state enthused me to keep on trying and passing out both parts.

So, there may be temporary phase of setbacks, resistances, but once vision is clear, ultimate is reaching to the desired state.
